Abstract

The associations between the various dimensions of parenting and adolescent bullying have been widely studied, but it is unclear whether these associations vary by race/ethnicity and grade. The current study utilized the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children data in the United States for the investigation. The findings show that supportive parenting and permissive parenting were negatively associated with bullying victimization. However, controlling parenting and neglectful parenting were positively associated with bullying victimization. The results further revealed that the dimensions of parenting were similarly associated with bullying victimization across racial/ethnic groups. Parenting was also similarly associated with bullying victimization for both middle and high school students, except for supportive parenting, where middle school students with more parental support reported less bullying victimization. The implications of the findings are discussed.

摘要

养育方式的各个方面与青少年欺凌之间的关联已被广泛研究，但尚不清楚这些关联是否因种族/民族和年级而异。本研究利用美国学龄儿童健康行为数据进行调查。研究结果表明，支持性养育和宽容养育与欺凌受害呈负相关。然而，控制性养育和疏忽养育与欺凌受害呈正相关。结果进一步显示，养育子女的维度与不同种族/族裔群体的欺凌受害情况类似相关。除了支持性的养育方式之外，养育方式也与中学生和高中生的欺凌行为有类似的关系。获得更多家长支持的中学生报告的欺凌受害情况较少。讨论了研究结果的含义。
