Internalizing And Externalizing

Background: Adolescent victims of bullying are more likely to experience a range of mental health problems. Although research has investigated the relationship between bullying victimization and various addictive behaviors, the impact of bullying on problem video gaming (PVG) remains largely unexplored. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between bullying victimization and PVG as mediated by the presence of internalizing and externalizing problems. Methods: Survey responses were collected from 6353 high-school students aged 12 to 18. Measures include bullying victimization (physical, verbal, cyber and indirect), internalizing (e.g., anxious and depressive symptoms) and externalizing (e.g., aggressive and delinquent problems) problems, and PVG (measured by the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short Form). Results: Mediation analyses indicated that the relationship between verbal bullying and PVG was completely mediated by the presence of internalizing and externalizing problems. The relationship between physical bullying and PVG was completely mediated by externalizing problems and the relationship between cyberbullying and PVG was completely mediated by internalizing problems. Lastly, the relationship between indirect bullying and PVG was partially mediated by externalizing and internalizing problems. Conclusions: Results suggest that different types of bullying victimization are differentially associated with PVG, with mental health symptoms significantly mediating this relationship.

Abstract Background Recent research has depicted that both traditional and cyber bullying victimization report serious mental health issues, particularly suicidal and non-suicidal self-harm in adolescents. However, the little is known about the mechanism underlying the correlation between bullying and risk behaviours – suicidality and self-harm. This study aimed to examine the effect of bullying victimization on suicidal and non-suicidal self-harm, and the mediating effect of mental disorders (major depressive disorder, ADHD, conduct disorder and anxiety disorder) on the relationship between bullying victimization, suicidality and self-harm among adolescents. Methods Data for this study came from the Young Minds Matter: the second Australian Child and Adolescent Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing and Youth dataset, which is a cross-sectional nationwide survey. A total of 2166 adolescents aged 12–17 years (M = 14.83; SD = 1.61; 52.2% boys) were analyzed. Baron and Kenny’s approach with regression analysis was employed to test the mediation effect of each mental disorder on the association between traditional and cyber bullying victimization, suicidality and self-harm. Further, the Sobel test was used to statistically assess whether the indirect effects of bullying victimization on suicidality and self-harm were significant via mental disorder. Results Overall, 622 (28.7%) and 255 (11.8%) of adolescents reported traditional and cyberbullying victimization, respectively. The analysis showed that victims of both bullying incurred a significantly higher risk of suicidality and self-harm among adolescents. The effect of both bullying victimization on suicidality and self-harm was mediated by major depressive disorder after adjusting for the effect of potential sociodemographic characteristics, substance use, sedentary activities. While anxiety disorder only mediated the relationship between traditional bullying, and suicidality and self-harm. ADHD and conduct disorder had no mediating effect. Conclusions Depression and anxiety disorder plays a mediating role in the association between bullying victimization, suicidal and self-harming behaviour. Thus, addressing such mental disorders among bullying victims is worthwhile to prevent suicidality and non-suicidal self-harm, and ultimately suicide.

The Relationship

This study was aimed to figure out whether perceived stress mediates the relationship between perceived discrimination and psychological distress among Chinese migrant children and whether social support and engagement coping moderate the detrimental effects of perceived discrimination on psychological distress. The sample comprised 813 middle-school students (482 migrant children, 331 non-migrant children) from three schools in Southwest China. The results indicate that migrant children’s perceived discrimination and perceived stress are associated with psychological distress, and perceived stress does not mediate the relationship between perceived discrimination and psychological distress. Both social support and engagement coping are inversely related to psychological distress and compensate the deleterious influences of perceived discrimination and stress on psychological distress. These findings highlight the need to consider providing social support and cultivating engagement coping when designing mental health interventions to reduce the negative influence of perceived discrimination on Chinese migrant children’s mental health.

The Relationship

Bullying has been recognized as an important risk factor for mental health. A growing number of researchers have encouraged parents to work collaboratively with schools to prevent and intervene in bullying situations. This study explores the relationship between parents’ awareness of bullying involvement, adolescents’ self-reported victimization, and six possible parents’ responses to their child’s victimization. The participants were 1044 seventh–tenth grade students and their parents. Logistic regressions analyses were applied to determine if parents’ awareness of victimization and adolescents’ self-reporting of victimization were associated with parents’ responses to bullying victimization. The results showed that parents’ awareness of bullying and adolescents’ self-reported victimization were only associated with the “defends herself/himself” and “talks to bully” response. In other words, the parents who believe their child has been bullied are less likely to encourage their children to talk with the bully, and when children are victimized, it is less likely that their parents will encourage them to defend themselves or talk with the bully.

AbstractIn China, rural–urban migration is one of major influences on the mental health of migrant and left-behind children. Literature suggests that the perception of discrimination is an important factor that influences the mental health of these children. The present research explores (1) whether migrant children and left-behind children are different in the relationship between the perception of discrimination and mental health, and (2) whether the relationship between the perception of discrimination and mental health of these children is moderated by gender and age. Using a meta-analytic technique, the authors included 26 studies (generating 48 independent samples) with a total sample size of 28,883 participants. Results showed that the perception of discrimination of migrant children was negatively correlated with positive indicators of mental health, and it has a stronger effect than left-behind children; the perception of discrimination of migrant children was positively correlated with negative indicators of mental health, and it has a weaker effect than left-behind children. Additionally, gender moderated the relationship between the perception of discrimination and the positive indicators of mental health among left-behind children, while age moderated such relationship among migrant children.
