Abstract:
Objective:To explore the associations between parental marital status with bullying and self injurious behavior among primary and secondary school students, and to provide intervention support for the prevention of self injurious behavior of primary and secondary school students.
Methods:A total of 11 107 primary and secondary school students in Nanyang, Anyang and Xinxiang city from central China were selected using multistage clustering sampling method. A questionnaire survey regarding bullying was administered.
Results:Report rate of bullying in boys (18.1%) was higher than that in girls (9.8%), while report rate of self injurious behavior in girls (3.9%) was higher than that in boys(3.2%)( χ 2=155.56, 4.64, P <0.05). The severity of bullying ( r =0.44) and types of bullying ( r =0.42) were positively correlated with self injurious behaviors( P <0.01), while parental marital status was negatively correlated with self injurious behavior( r=-0.11, P <0.01). Parental marital status negatively moderated the relationship between severity of bullying( β =-0.01), types ( β =-0.05) with self injurious behavior( P <0.01).
Conclusion:Parental marital status plays a moderating role in the association between bullying and self injurious behavior among primary and middle school students.The lower parental marital status, the higher rate of self injurious behavior among bullied children. Comparison of bullied rates among primary and secondary school students with different characteristics.
