Purpose. The goal of the article is to empirically study the psychological factors of bullying among adolescents in the school environment.Methods. The following diagnostic tools were used in the study: questionnaire method (author’s questionnaire); methods of diagnosis of acceptance of others; express diagnostics of the level of self-esteem; methods of diagnostics of indicators and forms of aggression by A. Bass and A. Darka (adaptation by A.K. Osnytskyi). The following methods were used to process empirical data: descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analyzes.Results. The authors include the level of self-esteem, aggression, hostility, and acceptance of others among the personal psychological factors and characteristics of bullying among adolescents. The study found that most adolescents have low self-esteem, average acceptance of others with a tendency to low or low, their level of aggression and hostility is equal to the average and in some cases found a high rate of aggression and hostility to others. Correlation analysis revealed a link between others’ self-esteem, self-esteem, and level of aggression. That is, low levels of acceptance of others and low self-esteem are associated with increased levels of aggression and hostility towards others, hostility towards peers, difficulties in establishing friendly relations, envy, unwillingness to work in a group, and so on. An empirical study has found that adolescents who have been involved in bullying, either as a passive observer or as bullies themselves, have the highest levels of hostility. That is why the hostility rate was chosen as a dependent variable for multiple regression analysis in the study of bullying. The results of multiple regression analysis show that adolescents’ hostility is due to low levels of acceptance of others, which is manifested in judgmental, contemptuous or critical attitude towards others, aggression, and inadequate self-esteem.Conclusions. The obtained results show that among the factors of bullying can be distinguished inadequate self-esteem, high levels of aggression, and adolescents’ hostility to their environment.Key worlds: bullying, psychological factors, adolescence, self-esteem, hostility, aggression. Мета статті полягає вемпіричному дослідженні психологічних чинників булінгу серед школярів підліткового віку у шкільному середовищі.Методи. У дослідженні використано діагностичний інструментарій: метод анкетування (авторська анкета); методику діагностики прийняття інших (шкала В. Фейя); експрес-діагностику рівня самооцінки, методику діагностики показників і форм агресії А. Басса й А. Дарки (адаптація А.К. Осницького). Для оброблення емпіричних даних було застосовано описову статистику, кореляційний та мно-жинний регресійний аналізи.Результати. До особистісних психологічних чинників та характеристик булінгу серед школярів підліткового віку автори статті відносять рівень самооцінки, агресивності, ворожості та прийняття інших. У процесі дослідження виявлено, що переважно підлітки мають низький рівень самооцінки, середній рівень прийняття інших із тенденцією до низького або ж низький, їхній рівень агресивності та ворожості дорівнює середньому показнику; в окремих випадках виявлено високий показник агресії і ворожого ставлення до оточення. За допомогою кореляційного аналізу виявлено зв’язок між показником прийняття інших, самооцінкою та рівнем агресії. Тобто низький рівень прийняття інших і низька самооцінка пов’язані зі збільшенням рівня агресії та ворожості до оточення, ворожого ставлення до однолітків, труднощів у налагодженні дружніх стосунків, заздрощів, небажання працювати у групі тощо. За результатами емпіричного дослідження визначено, що серед підлітків, які були причетні до булінгу, у ролі пасивного спостерігача або в ролі самих булерів, найвищі показники за рівнем ворожості. Саме тому показник ворожості обрано за залежну змінну для проведеннямножинного регресійного аналізуу вивченні булінгу. Результати множинного регресійного аналізу свідчать, що ворожість дітей підліткового віку зумовлюється низьким рівнем прийняття інших, що проявляється в осудливому, зневажливому або критичному ставленні до оточення, агресивністю та неадекватним рівнем самооцінки.Висновки. Отримані результати демонструють, що серед чинників виникнення булінгу можна виокремити неадекватну самооцінку, високий рівень агресивності та ворожості підлітків до свого оточення.Ключові слова:булінг, психологічні чинники, підлітковий вік, самооцінка, ворожість, агресія

Stress and depression are representative of the mental health problems of university students worldwide. This cross-sectional study explored the moderating effect of mindfulness on the influence of stress on depression according to the degree of life stress. The participants were 738 university students in years 2–4 in five 4-year universities in South Korea. Depression was positively correlated with stress and negatively with mindfulness at a statistically significant level. In multiple regression analysis, stress was found to have an effect by increasing depression, and mindfulness by relieving depression. In the moderated multiple regression analysis, mindfulness had a moderating effect on the impact of stress on depression only in low-stress groups, showing that the interaction of stress with mindfulness was significantly negative (β = −0.11, t = −2.52, p = 0.012) and the inclusion of this interaction significantly increased the explanatory power for depression variation (F change 6.36, p = 0.012) in the full model. In conclusion, we suggest considering stress levels in the development of mindfulness-based intervention strategies to effectively manage the depression of university students.

A role-conflict approach was employed to explore the impact of perceived frequency of conflict between caregiving and other obligations on the quality of relationships between daughters and their care-receiving mothers. Frequency of conflict between caregiving and responsibilities as a wife, mother, and paid and unpaid worker was assessed. Daughters reported relatively infrequent conflict between caregiving and other obligations. A multiple regression analysis revealed that daughters who reported frequent conflict between their obligations as caregivers and their obligations as wives had poorer relationships with their mothers. The findings emphasize the importance of a supportive spouse for married caregivers.

Malaysia went through the paradigm shift by employing the self-assessment system (SAS) on 2001 where responsibility of calculating taxes had shifted successfully from the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) to taxpayers. Since then, the voluntary tax compliance through SAS in Malaysia has been paying a greater role in meeting the statutory tax obligations and collection, effectively and efficiently. The study is aimed to examine the ethical, moral, religious and cultural background considerations on individual voluntary tax compliance in Malaysia by engaging quantitative research approach by utilising 200 valid questionnaire from respondents who are the individual taxpayer in Malaysia. Multiple regression analysis conducted to identify the effect of ethicality, morality, religiosity and cultural background on the individual voluntary tax compliance in Malaysia. Findings shows that all the variables have significant positive relationship, however the multiple regression analysis proven that ethicality and religiosity have strong significant effect on the individual tax compliance behaviour and on the other hand, morality and cultural background doesn’t have significant effect on individual tax compliance behaviour.

The purpose of the article is to find the relationship between government debt and of public finance stability in Lithuania. Research methodology – in order to achieve the aim of the article Financial Stability Index (FSI) for Lithuania has been created. It is based on theory and previous research. To find the determinants of FSI the multiple regression analysis model was specified and tested using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). Findings – the results of multiple regression analysis indicate the government debt has a statistically significant impact on FSI, ceteris paribus. Other findings of the research show that profit or loss of the non-financial sector, foreign trade balance as well as a foreign direct investment are significant determinants of public finance stability. Research limitations – one of the limitations of this research is the small sample size that has an impact on the validity and generalizability of the results.
