The Relationship

Abstract Background The relationship between psychotic symptoms and bullying has received limited attention to date. A systematic review by Cunningham, Hoy, & Shannon (2016) identified only ten studies that met their inclusion criteria for examining the relationship between childhood bullying and psychosis via a prospective research design. A meta-analysis of these studies suggested that being bullied does predict the later development of psychotic symptoms. The authors went on to say that a better understanding of the factors that mediate the bullying/psychosis relationship is needed. It is possible that prolonged exposure to social adversity and exclusion can lead to a state of “social defeat” which has also been found to increase the risk of psychosis (Johnston et al., 2011; Selten et al., 2013; Selten and Cantor-Graae, 2005). Being bullied in childhood has also been linked to depression in adulthood (Bowes et al. 2014), and social support from family and friends may also mediate the bullying victimisation-depression relationship. Methods The present study is a secondary data analysis of a prospective cohort study; namely, the Belfast Youth Development Study (BYDS). The BYDS followed a group of children longitudinally from ages 12–21 years. The participants are 2,087 individuals who took part in the Belfast Youth Development Study (BYDS) in 2011 (Wave 7). This longitudinal survey started in 2001 (Wave 1) when the sample members were aged 11 years. The sample were then surveyed again annually up until age 15 years (Waves 2–5), and post-compulsory schooling follow ups were carried out at 17 and 21 years (Waves 6 & 7). The secondary analysis will involve conducting path models. The first of which will be a bullying victimisation-psychosis mediation model; this will include a predictor (bullied, age 12 years), outcome (Psychosis, age 21 years), mediators (e.g. peer attachment, age 13 years; parental attachment. age 14 years), and covariates (gender, free school meals, depression, and frequency of cannabis use in the past year; cannabis abuse screening test). A bullying victimisation-depression mediation model will also be examined; this will include the same mediator and covariate variables. Results The results will be reported in the poster submission (analysis in progress). These will include measures of direct and indirect effect, as well as model fit statistics. Discussion Clinical implications in terms of prevention, assessment, and intervention for young people at risk of psychotic disorders will be discussed.

Bullying at work: The relation with physical health complaints and the influence of social support Bullying at work: The relation with physical health complaints and the influence of social support This survey among Belgian employees (N = 497) investigated, starting from the Michigan Stress Model, the relationships among the amount of and satisfaction with social support, being bullied in the workplace, and physical health complaints. Hierarchical regression analyses confirmed that both person-related and work-related bullying influenced perceived health of victimized employees negatively. There was some evidence for a moderation effect of satisfaction with social support: victims of work-related bullying, who experienced a lack of social support from colleagues, reported more health problems. In addition, it was found that satisfaction with received social support from supervisors affected the relationship between being bullied and health complaints indirectly (i.e., mediation). No effects were found for the amount of received support. These results emphasize the need for future studies investigating the influence of satisfaction with received social support on victimized employees.

The Relationship

This study investigated the potential of a serial mediation model to examine the roles of self-esteem and perceived social support in the relationship between trait interpersonal sensitivity and loneliness. We used a two-wave survey to collect data from 761 Chinese students. The structural equation model analysis results show that the Chinese version of the Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure had good psychometric properties, and that trait interpersonal sensitivity indirectly predicted loneliness through the mediators of self-esteem and perceived social support. Our findings provide valuable guidance for ways to reduce the loneliness of individuals with interpersonal sensitivity.

The Relationship

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with depression among college students, while perceived social support is also associated with depression, especially among young adults. This study aimed to examine to what extent perceived social support mediated the relationship between ADHD symptoms and depressive symptoms. Methods: In total, 124 first year medical students completed the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Screener (ASRS), the Patient Health questionnaire-9 and the revised Thai Multidimensional scale of perceived social support reflecting ADHD symptoms, depressive symptoms, and perceive social support, i.e., family members, friends and other significant people, respectively. Structural equation modeling was used to investigate the hypothesized mediation model. Results: ADHD symptoms exhibited a significant indirect effect on depressive symptoms via perceived social support. ADHD symptoms initially had a direct effect on depression; thereafter, it reduced to a non-significance effect after perceived social support was added. The total variance explained by this model was 35.2%. The mediation model with family support as a mediator showed the highest effect size. Conclusions: The study highlighted the importance of perceived social support, particularly family support, on depressive symptoms among young medical students experiencing ADHD symptoms. The model suggests promising relationships for further research on ADHD-related depression and potential treatment in the future.

ABSTRACT Objectives: Issues concerning the association among attachment anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation among the elderly have rarely been explored. The present study investigated the relationship among attachment anxiety, depression and perceived support concerning suicidal ideation among older people. Design: Cross-sectional study Setting: Tertiary care settings Participants: The authors recruited 191 elderly patients from 10 tertiary care settings in Thailand Measurements: Participants provided data on their suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt using Module C of the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Their attachment anxiety was assessed using the revised Experience of Close Relationship questionnaire (ECR-R-18), while their level of depression was investigated using the Geriatric Depression Scale. In addition, their perception of being supported was ascertained using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. We performed two mediation analyses and moderation analyses separately using the product of coefficients approach. First, we created a mediation model to examine the role of attachment anxiety and depression on suicidal ideation. Second, a moderated mediation model was created to explore the relationship of perceived social support as a moderator of depression. Results: We found that depression significantly mediated the association between attachment anxiety and suicidal ideation. The association between depression and suicidal ideation was moderated by the level of perceived social support. Conclusion: Findings of this study may broaden our understanding of how suicidal ideation develops among the elderly and further stimulate future research exploring the interaction of positive and negative factors of suicidality among the elderly. Implications of the findings were also discussed.

The Relationship

Perceived social support is positively related to life satisfaction in infertile women. Whereas, the underlying mechanism of this relationship is unclear. The present study aimed to investigate whether self-compassion mediated the relationship of perceived social support with life satisfaction and whether infertility self-efficacy moderated the relationship between perceived social support and self-compassion in infertile women. A total of 290 infertile women in mainland China undergoing treatment completed an online survey assessing perceived social support, life satisfaction, self-compassion, and infertility self-efficacy. The results supported the mediation model that perceived social support was associated with life satisfaction via self-compassion. Besides, infertility self-efficacy moderated the relationship between perceived social support and self-compassion. Specifically, perceived social support displayed a stronger predictive effect on self-compassion when infertile women had higher level of infertility self-efficacy.
