ABSTRACT Bullying, cyberbullying, and sexual harassment are violent phenomena that co-occur in adolescence and across the lifespan. Exploring the common and differential factors of these interpersonal aggressions is essential to decreasing violence in schools. The present study built upon previous literature on the subject, including the moderating role of gender. Specifically, this study analyzed the role of moral disengagement, peer group pressure, anger management and empathy on bullying, cyberbullying, and sexual harassment aggression. In total, 897 Spanish adolescent students (50.10% girls) between 15 and 18 years old (M = 15.50, SD = 0.68) participated in a cross-sectional survey. Results showed that bullying, cyberbullying, and sexual harassment were all correlated. Greater levels of moral disengagement, peer group pressure, and lower anger management predicted all three types of aggressive behavior. Affective empathy was only related to sexual harassment. Multiple Group Analysis indicated no differences regarding associated factors on the basis of gender. Knowing the common and differential factors of these three types of interpersonal violence is crucial to comprehensively develop cross-cutting programs to address violence in schools.

ABSTRACT Bias-based bullying is a significant problem in the United States, including aggression targeting college students with minoritized social identities. Bystander responsiveness can help to buffer the effects, but social identity factors may influence how students respond to bias-based aggression among peers. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of a subsample (N = 7,291) of the 2018–2019 Healthy Minds Study to test correlations between racial, sexual, and gender identities and self-reported and hypothetical peer interventions. Students who identify with minoritized sexual and gender identities, across racial identities, are most likely to report past or intended interventions while students who identify as straight, cisgender, male, and White are least likely. Specifically, students with minoritized sexual and gender identities are 32% more likely than straight and cisgender peers to report that they had intervened in the past year and 36% more likely to indicate that they intend to intervene in the future. Experiences of discrimination and belonging are significant but separate covariates. Interventions to support peer responsiveness must attend to dynamics of power, oppression, and social identity to reach more students.

ABSTRACT Exposure to peer aggression and bullying victimization are both expressions of peer victimization but distinct constructs among adolescents. This study examined the potential associations between peer victimization and individual/family/peer factors and assessed whether the factors associated with peer aggression differed from those related to bullying victimization. This cross-sectional study, conducted in a low-income Brazilian city characterized by poverty, inequality, and violence, involved a three-stage probabilistic sampling plan that included a random selection of census units, eligible households, and the target child. Data collected from face-to-face confidential home interviews with 669 in-school adolescents (11 to 15 years, 51.7% girls) were analyzed. The level of exposure to peer aggression was determined by the sum of the presence of 15 events (within the categories of physical aggression, verbal harassment, and social manipulation) occurring at different frequencies in the previous six months. Bullying victimization occurring more than once a week or most days in the previous six months was investigated after presenting a bullying victimization definition to participants which required them to have felt harmed by their victimization experiences. Path analysis identified factors associated with peer aggression and bullying victimization. Suicide ideation or attempt was associated with bullying victimization, while being overweight, using alcohol (previous 12 months) and having no social support from a friend were associated with exposure to peer aggression. Community violence exposure was associated with both study outcomes. In conclusion, the fact that suicidality was associated with bullying victimization but not with peer aggression suggests that when adolescents recognize that peer victimization hurts their feelings, their mental health appears to be negatively affected.

ABSTRACT Researchers examined stalking likelihood among college students as a function of social norms and stalking perpetration. Undergraduate students’ (N = 480) self-reported past perpetration of stalking and likelihood of stalking in the future were assessed via an online survey. For each of the stalking likelihood items, participants were provided average stalking likelihood peer responses for their reference. Social norms were manipulated such that participants were randomly assigned experimentally inflated or deflated averages for each item. Almost 40% of the sample met the criteria for stalking perpetration. In general, when participants were exposed to inflated norms their self-reported likelihood of stalking increased in comparison to when participants were exposed to deflated norms. Overall, perpetrators were significantly more likely to report they would engage in the stalking behaviors listed in the future compared to non-perpetrators. Based on the effect sizes, perpetrators were more influenced by inflated norms and non-perpetrators were more influenced by deflated norms. Both perpetrators and non-perpetrators were impacted by social norms, but this relationship was stronger when those norms were aligned with participants’ stalking perpetrator status. Generally, self-reports of stalking likelihood were low while stalking perpetration behaviors were widespread. Stalking prevention and intervention education campaigns focused on changing social norms could be a positive step toward reducing stalking victimization with the goal of creating safer communities.

ABSTRACT The serious psychological consequences of cyberbullying urge researchers to explore its antecedents and intervention programs. Based on the I3 theory, which indicates that instigation, impellance, and inhibition are three orthogonal processes of aggressive behavior generation, family cohesion was examined as a moderator of the indirect relationships between chronic sleep reduction and cyberbullying through low self-control. A total of 452 adolescents (M age = 13.91, SD = 1.07; 43.6% female) completed questionnaires regarding their experience with chronic sleep reduction, cyberbullying, low self-control, and family cohesion. Results indicated that individuals with high chronic sleep reduction tend to have more cyberbullying, which was mediated by low self-control. Furthermore, family cohesion moderated the path from low self-control to cyberbullying. Specifically, the relationship between low self-control and cyberbullying became weaker for individuals with high family cohesion. Findings elucidate that chronic sleep reduction and low self-control are risk factors while family cohesion is a protective factor of cyberbullying, which suggest that targeted prevention and intervention programs for cyberbullying should include efforts to ensure adequate sleep and increase family cohesion as well as self-control.
