Abstract

Traditional bullying and cyberbullying are linked to adverse mental health outcomes. Student connectedness has been recently identified as a potential protective factor in these relationships. Nonetheless, the multilevel nature of these interactions has been frequently overlooked. The present study pretends to fill this gap by exploring the associations between individual levels of bullying and cyberbullying and three adjustment outcomes (i.e., suicidal behavior, symptoms of depression, and self-esteem), as well as the moderating role of the school level of student connectedness on these relationships. The participants in this work were 1,774 students aged 14-18 years (M = 15.70, SD = 1.26), of which 53.7% were female, from 31 secondary schools in Spain. We used previously validated self-reported questionnaires in this study. Traditional victimization and cybervictimization, as well as cyberbullying, were positively related to suicidal behavior and depression, and were negatively related to self-esteem. Conversely, individual levels of student connectedness were associated with lower levels of suicidal behavior and depression, and with higher levels of self-esteem. Moreover, school levels of student connectedness buffered the adjustment problems experienced by victims of cyberbullying. These findings highlight the importance of student connectedness as a possible target for school-based cyberbullying prevention.

欺凌,网络欺凌和心理健康:学生联系作为学校保护因素的作用。
传统欺凌和网络欺凌与不良的心理健康结果有关。学生之间的联系最近被认为是这些关系中潜在的保护因素。然而,这些相互作用的多层次本质经常被忽视。本研究试图填补这一空白,探索欺凌和网络欺凌的个体水平与三种适应结果(即自杀行为、抑郁症状和自尊)之间的联系,以及学校学生联系水平对这些关系的调节作用。研究对象为来自西班牙31所中学的1774名14-18岁的学生(M = 15.70, SD = 1.26),其中女生53.7%。在这项研究中,我们使用了先前有效的自我报告问卷。传统受害和网络受害以及网络欺凌与自杀行为和抑郁呈正相关,与自尊呈负相关。相反,学生的个人联系水平与较低的自杀行为和抑郁水平有关,与较高的自尊水平有关。此外,学校的学生联系水平缓冲了网络欺凌受害者所经历的适应问题。这些发现强调了将学生的联系作为预防校园网络欺凌的可能目标的重要性。
