The significant relationship between cyberbullying and depression has attracted research attention; however, most previous meta-analyses have been cross-sectional and focused on youth. This study used a meta-analytic framework to examine the longitudinal effects between cyberbullying and depression in the general population (including children, adolescents, and adults). The moderating factors that influence these effects were also studied. A total of 35 longitudinal studies that examined the relationship between cyberbullying and depression were included. Results supported a bidirectional relationship between cyberbullying (perpetration and victimization) and depression with small effects for both: cyberbullying perpetration to depression, r_cp→d = 0.148 and depression to cyberbullying perpetration, r_d→cp = 0.182; cyberbullying victimization to depression, r_cv→d = 0.246 and depression to cyberbullying victimization, r_d→cv = 0.229. Additional moderator analyses took into account age, sex, and study interval (months). The relationship from cyberbullying victimization to depression and the relationship from depression to cyberbullying victimization was significantly moderated by age, but not by sex and study interval. Implications for interventions to reduce the risk of cyberbullying and depression are discussed.

This paper offers a theoretical treatise on the animal cruelty-later offending relationship in the form of a developmental antecedent-reciprocal effects model. The model itself consists of three elements (animal cruelty, low empathy, and moral neutralization) believed to be bidirectionally related to one another and either unidirectionally or bidirectionally linked to certain environmental/external events and experiences, to include victimization, opportunities for social learning, and schedules of reinforcement. Hence, animal cruelty can be both a cause and effect of low empathy, moral neutralization is just as likely to shape animal cruelty as animal cruelty is to shape moral neutralization, and low empathy both drives and is driven by neutralization. Progression at the apex of the model (in this case, animal cruelty) occurs as the individual moves from safe targets and objectives to less safe targets and objectives they find more reinforcing (smaller animal → larger animal → bullying → delinquency). A research agenda is laid out in which longitudinal data are used to map the various relationships proposed by the model and recommendations for assessment and intervention are offered.

Aggression, influenced by biological, psychological, and environmental factors, poses a significant public health concern. This paper reviews the hormonal influences on youth aggression, focusing on cortisol and testosterone. Employing PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched major databases to identify relevant studies involving children and adolescents. Among the 79 articles that met the inclusion criteria, the findings were predominantly non-significant or mixed. Significant results suggest a modest correlation between testosterone and aggression specifically in adolescents. Cortisol demonstrated a more complex pattern, with low cortisol levels associated with increased aggression in adolescents, particularly in males, while findings in younger children were less conclusive. The interaction between testosterone and cortisol in relation to aggression also varied; high testosterone and low cortisol were linked to increased aggression in adolescent samples. These results highlight the intricate interplay of hormonal influences on aggression, modulated by age and sex. The observed association between elevated testosterone and aggression in adolescence aligns with testosterone's role in status-driven behaviors. Consistent with the dual-hormone hypothesis, the influence of testosterone on aggression appears to be moderated by cortisol levels, suggesting adolescence as a critical period for targeted interventions. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies to clarify these relationships and further test the dual-hormone hypothesis across developmental stages.

This article sets out the findings of a Campbell systematic review examining the effectiveness and implementation of case management tools and approaches used to counter radicalisation to violence. This review found that the effectiveness of these tools and approaches remains poorly understood owing to the continued absence of robust impact evaluations. However, by breaking the case management process down into its constituent parts, from client identification to client assessment; case planning, implementation and delivery; monitoring and evaluation; through to exit and transition, this review was able to uncover a robust body of evidence relating to the implementation of different stages of the case management process, and programmes as-a-whole. Based on an analysis of 47 studies, the systematic review identified a range of factors that support the effective implementation of case management interventions. These include the availability of relevant tools; strong multi-agency working arrangements; intervention teams holding relevant knowledge and expertise; and adequate resourcing. In contrast, the absence of these factors can inhibit implementation, as can reliance on overly risk-oriented logics; public and political pressure; and the features of the legislative context within which programmes are delivered. The paper concludes by outlining the implications of the review, and discusses avenues for future research.

Psychologically violent behavior among children in sports is often studied within two separate silos: psychological violence (PV) and psychological bullying. This division has resulted in largely isolated fields of research and intervention. Examining the operationalization of both PV and psychological bullying together can contribute to the development of more comprehensive interventions for preventing psychologically violent behavior among children in sports. This systematic review aims to explore how qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies have operationalized and measured psychologically violent behavior in youth sports. Twenty-five publications, published between 2008 and 2022, were analyzed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The findings highlight the need to address a broader range of psychologically violent behaviors among children in sports, including inciting peers to engage in doping practices and promoting harmful weight-gain or weight-cutting behaviors. The results suggest the importance of adopting an integrated prevention approach to tackle PV and psychological bullying in youth sports. Such an approach should consider the roles of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders, while also accounting for the influence of peer relationships and the critical need for adequate support and education. Fostering a safe sports environment requires collaborative efforts, where young athletes are encouraged to use their influence constructively, and responsibility is shared among coaches, athletes, parents, and other key stakeholders within the sports community.

Existing research on public violence against the police is limited. This scoping review aimed to offer an overview of the characteristics and the findings of existing primary research, identifying methodological and knowledge gaps to inform future research. It followed Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review guidelines, with a protocol established before the review started. Relevant citations were searched and screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data of the included publications were charted with a pre-defined template and then synthesized narratively.

The initial de-duplicated electronic searches returned 796 citations. An additional 29 relevant citations were found through hand searching. Overall, 62 publications met the inclusion criteria. Areas covered included characteristics of victimized officers, perpetrators, and situations; impacts on officers and organizations; comparisons with other occupations; socio-political factors; and methodologies used. It was found that police officers face various forms of external workplace violence, including verbal abuse, threats, and physical violence, sometimes fatal. Most victim officers were younger males, with higher levels of victimization involving minor physical violence and verbal threats. Despite some common findings on situational and environmental correlates, there is no definitive profile of individuals who assault police officers or consistent predictors for serious violence. Research mostly used quantitative secondary analyses of organizational and government databases with limited primary research found. Research focused more on the extent and the correlates of external workplace violence than impacts, interventions, or prevention. Increased use of mixed-methods and qualitative research is suggested to better understand the phenomenon and develop appropriate prevention and welfare programs.

Aggression is a worldwide issue that has significant consequences for both the victims and societies. However, aggression may vary in its underlying motivation (i.e., reactive versus proactive) and the forms in which it occurs (i.e., physical versus verbal). Yet, functional brain correlates differentiating these types remains largely unknown. A systematic search was conducted up to May 1st 2023, using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, to identify relevant functional neuroimaging studies that included measures of General Aggression, Reactive Aggression, Proactive Aggression, Physical Aggression and Verbal Aggression. Coordinate-based meta-analysis was conducted using both spatial convergence (ALE) and effect-size (SDM-PSI) approaches. Sixty-seven functional neuroimaging studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis revealed similar yet distinct neural correlates for General Aggression (i.e., Amygdala, Precuneus, Intraparietal Sulcus, Angular and Middle Temporal Gyri), Reactive Aggression (i.e., Amygdala, Periaqueductal Grey, Posterior Insula, & Central Opercular Cortex), Proactive Aggression (i.e., Septal Area, & Amygdala), Physical Aggression (i.e., Dorsal Premotor Cortex, Dorsal Caudate, & Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex), and Verbal (i.e., Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex). Exploratory analyses revealed the importance of affective, cognitive and social cognition processes as well as serotoninergic, dopaminergic, and cholinergic systems in the neural underpinnings of aggressive behaviors. Our findings highlight the importance of examining the types of aggression (i.e., motivation and forms) within a transdiagnostic framework. Therefore, characterizing the neurobiological substrates of aggression may expand our search for targeted neuromodulation and pharmacological treatments.

Effectiveness of Virtual Reality interventions for aggression, anger and impulsiveness: A multilevel meta-analysis

Interventions based on Virtual Reality (VR) appear to be a promising option for the treatment of aggression, enabling the creation of immersive simulations for individuals to learn and practice strategies in a controlled and supervised environment.

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of VR interventions in reducing anger, aggression and impulsiveness. A systematic search produced eleven valid articles for a meta-analysis consisting of a total sample of 479 participants aged 26.37 ± 18.5, of whom 88.1 % were men.

The study found a statistically significant reduction in observer reported aggression (g = −0.27; p = 0.029), self-reported aggression (g = −0.47; p < 0.001), anger (g = −0.74; p = 0.005) and impulsiveness (g = −0.47; p < 0.001). Regarding the possible improvement over conventional therapies or waiting list control groups, the weighted mean difference analysis revealed a significant overall effect favouring VR intervention over the control groups (g = −1.05; p = 0.003), although specific analysis for the different outcomes could not be conducted due to the limited number of studies reporting control group data.

These results suggest that the use of VR can be effective in reducing aggression, anger and impulsiveness. Differences in effectiveness may be partially explained by the heterogeneity of the interventions and study samples. The possible biases of the selected studies and the limitations of the meta-analysis itself are considered. Future research may use these findings to optimise the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions using VR.

Several bibliometric analyses have commented on the rapid growth of research on bullying, and especially school bullying, over recent decades. There is now an international research effort, which might be called a research program, with several articles appearing on a daily basis. We review the previous bibliometric studies on school bullying and cyberbullying, which have mainly used the Web of Science database. To examine the content of research articles on bullying, we report an extension of previous research (Smith et al. 2021) to an examination of randomly selected samples of 100 journal articles relevant to school bullying over each of four time periods: 1976–95, 1996–2005, 2006–2015 and 2016–2020. Besides the number and country/continent of authors, and proportion of cross-country studies, we report on the type of article. For empirical articles, we report on the type of study (cross-sectional, longitudinal), type of data (quantitative, qualitative), source of data (e.g., self-reports, peer-reports, teacher nominations), main data focus (definitions/methodology, prevalence, correlates, attitudes, coping, cross-national), different types of bullying, various peer roles (bully, victim, bystanders etc.), differences in bullying (age, gender, ethnicity, disability), prejudice-based bullying, correlates of roles (e.g., individual, family, school, societal factors), peer roles, significant others, and interventions. We summarise what this analysis tells us about the development and focus of this research program, and some challenges the program faces in the future.
