Implication

Cross-sectional survey examines bullying and victimization relations through self-esteem and peer relationships in adolescents, indicating key prevention factors.

Key Points

  • Childhood abuse significantly predicts both bullying and victimization with B=0.08 and B=0.17, respectively.
  • Mediation via self-esteem, peer relationships, and moral disengagement reveals significant chain effects between abuse and bullying.
  • The survey included 1,327 adolescents from public schools in Sichuan Province, China, using validated questionnaires.
  • Findings suggest family factors play a crucial role in understanding bullying dynamics and can guide prevention efforts.
