Overview

Longitudinal study examines bullying types and their impact on depression, finding no gender differences.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate how different types of bullying victimization affect depression over time and whether gender moderates this relationship.
  • Collected two-wave longitudinal data from 457 Grade 10 students in Gansu Province, China, at T1 and T2.
  • Utilized self-report questionnaires, including the Revised Bullying Victimization Questionnaire and DASS-21 depression scale.
  • Conducted hierarchical multiple regression analyses to assess main and interaction effects of bullying victimization and gender.
  • All four forms of bullying victimization significantly predicted higher depressive symptoms at T2 (p<0.05).
  • No significant interaction effects were found between victimization and gender, indicating no gender moderation.
  • Analyses adjusted for demographic covariates.
