This manuscript examined the role trait verbal aggression plays in cyberbullying victimization and perpetration in adolescence. More than 400 middle school students (46.8% males and 52.2% females) completed a questionnaire on trait verbal aggression and their history of cyberbullying perpetration and victimization. Linear regression analyses revealed that trait verbal aggression was a statistically significant predictor of both cyberbullying perpetration and victimization, that cyberbullying perpetration and cyberbullying victimization are related, and that cyberbullying perpetration appears to increase with age, while cyberbullying victimization does not. Ideas and implications for future applications of verbal aggression and cyberbullying are discussed.

Bystanding Behavior

The aim of the current study was to examine use of moral disengagement among middle school students as bystanders to bullying, as well as the links between four domains of moral disengagement and bystander’s behaviors in bullying episode, including pro-bullying, victim-defending and passive bystanding behavior. Participants included 736 adolescents from the urban area of Hanoi (Mage = 13.69; 53.1% male). According to the main hypotheses, all four domains of moral disengagement were negatively correlated with victim-defending behavior and positively correlated with passive bystanding behavior, whereas only three sets of mechanisms were found to be related to pro-bullying behavior, including minimizing one’s agentive role, consequences distortion, and victim attribution. Linear regression analyses indicated that bystander’s behaviors were predicted by minimizing one’s agentive role. Differences regarding gender and grade were also found. These results highlight the importance of particular moral disengagement sets of mechanisms and have potential implications for prevention tackling bullying.

Father Presence

In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between father presence and the resilience of adolescents, and whether failure learning mediates this association. Specifically, we obtained in-depth details on the relation between father presence and adolescents’ resilience by examining the mediating effects of four subfactors of failure learning: failure cognition, reflection and analysis, experience transformation, and prudent attempt. For this purpose, we used the questionnaire to access Chinese middle school students’ father presence, resilience, and failure learning. In total, six hundred and twenty-six valid questionnaires were collected. The results were as follows: (1) there was a significant positive correlation between father presence, failure learning, and resilience; (2) failure learning played a mediating role between father presence and adolescents’ resilience; (3) the mediating effect of experience transformation and prudent attempt (two subfactors of failure learning) between father presence and adolescents’ resilience was significant, while the mediating effect of failure cognition and reflective analysis (the other two subfactors of failure learning) was insignificant.

The Relationship

To explore the relationship and mechanism of school loose-tight culture to middle school bullying, a total of 808 students were selected from three middle schools in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province of China, to conduct a questionnaire survey. The study used the school loose-tight culture scale, the collective moral disengagement scale, the collective efficacy scale, and the bullying scale for middle school students. The results showed that (i) school loose-tight culture significantly predicted the occurrence of school bullying; (ii) school loose-tight culture was significantly negatively correlated with collective moral disengagement and school bullying but positively correlated with collective efficacy. Further, collective moral disengagement was significantly positively correlated with school bullying, but collective efficacy was significantly negatively correlated with school bullying; (iii) school loose-tight culture inhibited school bullying through the dual mediating effects of collective moral disengagement and collective efficacy at the same time.

<p><em>History learning in Senior High Schools and Vocational High Schools is carried out almost the same, both obtaining mandatory history with the aim of studying the history of the nation. Meanwhile, studying history in Senior High Schools contains additional material for the history of specialization. The existence of differences in environment, meaning and purpose makes students less interested and meaningful in learning which results in history learning running less optimally. For this reason, this paper aims to make historical learning relevant to the learning field of Vocational Middle School students, one of which is by utilizing local material in areas close to the environment and even the vocational school. One of them is the use of local materials for the Cepu Oil and Gas Vocational Middle School students, namely the history of Dutch oil exploration in Cepu. This study uses a literature study research method, the authors use a humanistic approach to analyze the relevance of learning materials to the learning environment and the interests or vocational of students. The focus of this research is on discussing history learning in Vocational High Schools and the use of historical material on Dutch oil exploration in Cepu as a learning resource. So that studying history will be relevant and meaningful in accordance with the vocational.</em></p>
