Abstract:
Objective To analyze the current situation of school bullying and related factors in junior high school students in China 2016. Methods Junior high school students were selected from the 2016 China Education Panel Survey. A total of 6 750 students with completed records of suffering from school bulling, individual characteristics, family environment, and school conditions were selected. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the related factors of being bullied. Results A total of 57.29% (3 867/6 750) of students in the past year had suffered from at least one type of school bullying. The proportions of students who suffered from verbal bullying, social bullying, physical bullying and cyber bullying were 49.12% (3 298/6 714), 37.87% (2551/6736), 18.18% (1226/6743), and 13.51% (910/6 735), respectively. According to the logistic regression model, students who were boys, came from ethnic minorities, lived with their mothers only, had frequent quarreling parents, boarded and had experience of school transfer in primary education were more vulnerable to school bullying compared with those who were girls, came from Han nationality, lived with parents, had parents who seldom quarrel, commute to school daily and had no school transfer experience in primary education. The corresponding OR (95%CI) values were 1.86 (1.66-2.08), 1.27 (1.02-1.57), 1.35 (1.13-1.61), 1.49 (1.23-1.81), 1.65 (1.33-2.04), and 1.21 (1.08-1.36), respectively. Students who were the only child, had relatively good health, had mothers with middle school, high school or secondary specialized school education level, had medium or good family economic conditions, had good academic performance, served as class cadres and had good relations with head teachers were less vulnerable to school bullying compared with those who were not the only child, had relatively bad health, had mothers with primary school or below education level, had poor family economic conditions, had poor academic performance, had never been class cadres and had bad relations with head teachers. The corresponding OR (95%CI) values were 0.80 (0.72-0.90), 0.60 (0.48-0.75), 0.74 (0.64-0.85), 0.75 (0.61-0.91), 0.70 (0.69-0.82), 0.64 (0.52-0.79), 0.85 (0.74-0.99), 0.88 (0.79-0.99), and 0.62 (0.55-0.69), respectively. Conclusion The situation of suffering from school bullying among junior high school students in China is not optimistic. Individual characteristics, family environment and school conditions were all related to school bullying.
