Overview

Study examines bullying roles in adolescents with immigrant backgrounds, indicating a need for tailored intervention strategies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how immigrant backgrounds influence bullying roles and associated psychosocial outcomes in Finnish adolescents.
  • Analyzed 2019 Finnish School Health Promotion Study data (N = 130,269).
  • Classified adolescents into four roles: uninvolved, victim-only, bully-only, and bully-victim.
  • Disaggregated immigrant background into Finnish, mixed-parentage, second generation, and first generation.
  • First-generation adolescents had a relative risk of bully-victim involvement nearly twice that of Finnish peers.
  • Mixed-parentage adolescents had consistently elevated risk across bullying roles.
  • Bully-victims experienced the highest levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms, while victim-only adolescents reported the highest loneliness.
