{"title":"Risk and Protective Effects of Family Socioeconomic Status and Parental Emotional Support in Asian Secondary School Students' Bullying Victimization.","authors":"Tao Jiang,Ling-Hui Liang","doi":"10.1177/08862605251338786","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/08862605251338786","url":null,"abstract":"Previous research has examined students' bullying experiences, its predictors, and the harm caused. However, the bidirectional relationship between family factors and membership in victim groups remains unclear. This study first classified students into different victim groups based on the forms and levels of bullying they experienced. On this basis, two goals were set. The first aim was to examine whether family socioeconomic status and parental emotional support help students become members of the non-victim group. The second aim was to explore intergroup differences in family socioeconomic status and parental emotional support. Data were drawn from the 2022 Vietnam survey in the Program for International Student Assessment to enhance our understanding of the role families play in anti-bullying efforts in the post-pandemic era. A total of 6,068 students in grades 7 to 10 completed questionnaires evaluating their bullying victimization, family socioeconomic status, and parental emotional support. Latent class analysis categorized students into victim and non-victim groups. Of the 6,068 students, 91.8% reported no bullying experiences, while the remaining were victims. The most prevalent forms of bullying were mockery and robbery. The latent class model integrated with logistic regression revealed that parental emotional support helped students transition to the non-victim group. The latent class model combined with linear regression indicated that family socioeconomic status and parental emotional support were more beneficial for members of the non-victim group. The findings offer insights into anti-bullying practices. Since being made fun of is a prominent indicator of victim group membership, school systems should pay close attention to students frequently mocked by their peers. Schools should also focus more on students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In addition, gaining parental support is crucial in efforts to prevent bullying in schools.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"21 1","pages":"8862605251338786"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144087836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were 421 adult participants, 18 years or older, from the cities of Juarez (n = 202), Chihuahua (n = 99), Parral (n = 57), Nuevo Casas Grandes (n = 50), and other (n = 13), located in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The mean age was 37.7 (SD = 12.3) years and 64.8% of the sample reported being females. Mental health variables were measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Paranoid Thoughts due to Social Violence Scale. Types of violence were measured with the Victimization Scale, the Partner Violence Scale, the Child Abuse and Neglect Scale, and the Cyberbullying-Victimization Scale. Pearson correlations and multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the relationship among mental health and violence variables. The main findings show that participants from the different cities have experience social violence such as kidnapping, sexual assault, carjacking, among others. Most correlations were statistically significant; guilt (child abuse) and cyberbullying had the highest correlations with mental health. In the regression analyses, the same variables, guilt and cyberbullying, had the strongest and statistically significant standardized betas with mental health. Our findings indicate that interventions should not be limited to preventing and addressing social violence alone; other forms of violence among adults must also be taken into consideration.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"123 1","pages":"8862605251336351"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents and has increased by 63% in the last two decades. Using individual-level data from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS) and state-level data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA) from 2013 to 2019, a difference-in-differences approach is employed to analyze the impact of MSEs on suicide consideration, suicide planning, suicide attempt, and injury from attempted suicide among high school students. Our findings indicate that MSEs lead to a significant increase in the likelihood of suicide attempts (5.1 pp) and injury from suicide (1.9 pp). We particularly observe NH-Black students show a dramatic increase in all measured behaviors, indicating a heightened vulnerability. Notable variations by race and gender suggest that targeted strategies and policies are necessary in addressing students' suicide risk following MSEs. Our findings also reveal lagged effects, demonstrating that the behavioral impacts of MSEs persist over a year, highlighting the importance of investigating longer-term consequences. Strategies targeting the progression from suicide ideation to suicide attempts are particularly crucial to effectively mitigate the long-lasting and detrimental impact that exposure to MSEs can have on youth mental health and well-being.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"124 1","pages":"8862605251336338"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143933084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research shows that a large percentage of individuals have been a bystander to IBSA, but most do not intervene. Currently, there is little understanding of why this is the case. The research presented in this article begins to address this gap in the literature by identifying situational factors that facilitate or inhibit behavioral intentions to intervene through three experimental studies. In each study, situational factors were manipulated using vignettes that depicted the taking of images without consent (Study 1; n = 126), sharing images without consent (Study 2; n = 125), and threatening to share images (Study 3; n = 125). The dependent variable across studies was how likely they would be to intervene if they witnessed the scenario described. Study 1 investigated the effect of the presence of other bystanders (no other bystanders present, other bystanders present who were friends with each other, or other bystanders present who were strangers to each other), and no significant effect was found. Study 2 investigated the role of initial consent to take the image (self-taken or stealth-taken) and the bystander relationship with the victim (friend or stranger). Likelihood to intervene was less likely when the image was self-taken, and the victim was a stranger. Finally, Study 3 investigated the role of initial consent to take the image and bystander relationship with the perpetrator (friend or stranger). Perpetrator-focused intervention was more likely, but justice-focused intervention was less likely, when the perpetrator was a friend. These findings have implications for the development of educational materials, campaigns, and agendas aimed at encouraging bystander intervention.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"12 1","pages":"8862605251336347"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143933085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For Latinx populations, anti-immigrant sentiment and targeted political rhetoric have also been on the rise. Due to this context, it is important to understand the detrimental impact such experiences can have on mental health outcomes such as anger, anxiety, depression, and dissociation. The aim of this study is to better understand the role of bias victimization on mental health outcomes among the Latinx community using self-reported survey data. This analysis consists of 910 Latinx adults from Boston, San Diego, and Houston who were recruited through partnerships with community agencies and self-selection during local Latinx-focused events in 2018-2019. This methodology was essential to capturing the lived experiences of traditionally hard-to-reach populations. The survey asked participants to report any experiences with hate crime, bias-motivated victimization, and general experiences with victimization unrelated to their identity in their lifetime and within the past year. Notably, about half of the sample reported experiencing a bias victimization in their lifetime. Using sequential regressions and tests of mediation, we find that the association between bias victimization and mental health was influenced by acculturative stress. The results of this study highlight the harmful consequences that bias victimization and racial trauma bring. Bias victimization, ranging from everyday microaggressions to hate crimes, as well as the level of acculturative stress, subsequently negatively affects the mental health of Latinx adults. This study provides important evidence regarding the harm incurred from bias-motivated incidents and the detrimental impact it has on the lives of those who experience them.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyzed 2,597 posts shared over a 6-month period by 29 parent influencers on Instagram in 2024, using a qualitative content analysis method. The content of the posts related to children was categorized using the Social Media Content Evaluation system developed by the research team. The total number of followers of the parent influencers was 16,578,279. Posts that featured children's images received approximately twice as many likes as those that did not. Four themes were identified from the images featuring children; using the child to earn income, ignoring children's privacy, disclosing information related to the child's temperament or disposition, and the tendency of parent influencers to use their children in posts. There is a risk of misuse of posts involving children by parent influencers. It can be stated that these posts increase the children's digital footprint, and stronger measures should be taken to protect the children's privacy rights in this context.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"37 1","pages":"8862605251336344"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the impact of sex, educational level, witnessing domestic violence, and experiencing physical and psychological abuse during childhood on adults' attitudes toward CP. In addition, it explores the mediating roles of stereotypical gender roles and psychopathy in these relationships. Four hundred fifty Honduran adults completed an online survey. Of the total sample, 66.67% were female. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used. Data was collected through self-reported questionnaires previously validated. 49.78% of participants reject slapping as a necessary disciplinary method, and 50.67% oppose legalizing parental use of force. However, a minority still considers spanking effective (24.66%). Mediation analysis shows that childhood psychological abuse significantly reduces support for CP, while psychopathy and stereotypical gender roles increase it. Females exhibit lower levels of psychopathy and adherence to traditional gender roles, which mediates their reduced support for CP. In addition, childhood physical abuse indirectly decreases CP endorsement through its influence on gender role beliefs. Educational level does not, directly or indirectly, predict attitudes toward CP. However, despite its medium effect size, the model only accounts for 16.7% of the variance in CP attitudes. Overall, being female and reporting childhood physical and psychological abuse significantly reduce support for CP, whereas witnessing domestic violence increases it. Despite the influence of these factors, other unexamined variables may also play a role.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"25 1","pages":"8862605251336785"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the pathways by which this occurs remain poorly understood and understudied among African American women. This study sought to examine context-specific social and psychological mediators of this association. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), we tested a conceptual framework predicting problem alcohol use within 3 months of experiencing physical and/or sexual IPV. The sample included 508 young African American women (median age 21, interquartile range 19–22 years). A modified SEM met prespecified global and local fit index criteria. The model identified four indirect paths from IPV to problem alcohol use. Three of the paths were through the endorsement of drinking contexts: negative coping, social drinking, and intimate drinking. Negative coping and social drinking emerged as the most salient pathways (β = .431, 95% CI [0.107, 0.754]; β = .472 [0.103, 0.841], respectively). A fourth path operated via depressive symptomatology and negative coping. The model predictors explained 35% of the variance in problem alcohol use; findings were consistent with full mediation of IPV and problem drinking. These findings increase the understanding of problem alcohol use among African American women who experience IPV and identify modifiable context-specific risk factors for problem alcohol use. Interventions to reduce problem drinking could incorporate trauma-informed counseling, as part of integrated IPV and substance use care, to reduce depressive symptomatology and enhance drinking refusal skills in response to situational drinking.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"119 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
