Abstract:
【Objective】 To explore the relationship of victimization, bullying tolerance and anxiety/depression in adolescents, and to examine the moderating effect of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between bullying tolerance and anxiety/depression, in order to provide basis for intervention. 【Methods】 From January 2019 to July 2020, 1 768 adolescents were selected into this survey, and completed Bully/Victim Questionnaire, Primary and Secondary School Bullying Tolerance Questionnaire, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the 28 General Health questionnaires. 【Results】 Adolescents′ victimization was relatively common and serious, the proportion of verbal bullying, relational bullying, and physical bullying was 57.64% (1 019/1 768), 36.60% (647/1 768), and 22.40% (396/1 768), respectirely. The scores of anxiety and depression of adolescents with different gender (t=2.00), school stage (F=101.38) and academic performance (F=27.91) were statistically significant (P<0.05).Victimization and bullying tolerance had predictive effect on adolescents′ anxiety/depression (β=0.14, 0.13, P<0.01).Positive strategies, negative strategies had significant moderating effects on the relationship between bullying tolerance and anxiety/depression(β=-0.10、0.08, P<0.01).The simple slope analysis showed that at high positive strategy level, bullying tolerance had no significant predictive effect on anxiety/depression (P>0.05), while at a low positive strategy level, bullying tolerance had significant predictive effect on anxiety/depression (β=0.28, P<0.01).At a high negative strategy level, bullying tolerance had a significant predictive effect on anxiety/depression (β=0.25, P<0.01), while at a low negative strategy level, bullying tolerance had no significant predictive effect on anxiety/depression (P>0.05). 【Conclusions】 Victimization and bullying tolerance positively predict adolescent anxiety/depression.High levels of positive and low levels of negative strategies effectively inhibit the risk of anxiety/depression, while low levels of positive and high levels of negative strategies amplify the risk of anxiety/depression.
