Abstract

Existing research suggests a robust association between childhood bullying victimization and depressive symptoms in adulthood, but less is known about potential mediators of this link. Furthermore, there is limited cross-national research evaluating similarities and differences in bullying victimization and its associations with mental health. The current study addressed gaps in the literature by evaluating cognitive and affective responses to stress (i.e., emotion regulation, rumination, and distress tolerance) as potential mediators of the link between recalled bullying victimization and current depressive symptoms among 5909 (70.6% female) college students from seven countries. Results revealed specific indirect associations of bullying victimization through distress tolerance and three out of four facets of rumination, as well as a persistent direct association of childhood bullying on adulthood depression. Emotion regulation strategies were not significantly associated with bullying victimization and did not mediate its association with depressive symptoms. Constrained multigroup models indicated that results were invariant across country and gender. Findings provide evidence of statistical mediation in a cross-sectional sample and await replication in prospective studies. Rumination and distress tolerance may be promising targets for resilience-promoting interventions among children experiencing peer victimization. Ongoing research is needed to clarify cross-national patterns in childhood bullying, identify additional mediators accounting for the remaining direct association, and evaluate emotion regulation as a potential moderator of associations between bullying victimization and adult mental health.

童年遭受欺凌、情绪调节、反刍、痛苦容忍度和抑郁症状:对七个国家青少年的跨国研究
现有研究表明,童年时期遭受欺凌与成年后的抑郁症状之间存在密切联系,但对这种联系的潜在中介因素却知之甚少。此外,评估欺凌受害情况的异同及其与心理健康的关联的跨国研究也很有限。本研究通过评估来自七个国家的 5909 名大学生(70.6% 为女性)对压力的认知和情感反应(即情绪调节、反刍和痛苦容忍度),将其作为回忆欺凌受害经历与当前抑郁症状之间联系的潜在中介因素,填补了文献空白。研究结果表明,通过痛苦容忍度和反刍的四个方面中的三个方面,欺凌受害与抑郁症之间存在特定的间接联系,而童年时期的欺凌行为与成年后的抑郁症之间存在持续的直接联系。情绪调节策略与欺凌受害并无明显关联,也不调解欺凌受害与抑郁症状之间的关系。受限的多组模型表明,研究结果在不同国家和性别之间是不变的。研究结果为横截面样本中的统计学中介作用提供了证据,有待于在前瞻性研究中加以验证。反刍和痛苦耐受可能是对遭受同伴伤害的儿童进行复原力干预的有希望的目标。我们还需要继续开展研究,以澄清儿童受欺凌的跨国模式,确定其他中介因素来解释剩余的直接关联,并评估情绪调节作为欺凌受害与成人心理健康之间关联的潜在调节因素的作用。
