The Relationship Between Parental Psychological Control And Bullying Victimization In Junior High School Students: The Role Of Moderated Mediator

Bullying is one of the common unhealthy phenomena in junior high school students,which will impact on the growth and development of the bullied.There are numerous factors that affect the occurrence of bullying victimization.Research on the influencing factors will help to provide a theoretical basis for reducing the occurrence of bullying victimization in educational practice.Therefore,related research on bullying victims,especially the related research on the influencing factors of bullying victimization among junior high school students,and the interaction mechanism between the influencing factors has aroused extensive attention of researchers.This study is divided into two parts: the first part,by psychological test,827 junior high school students in a province were tested with the Parental Psychological Control Scale,Discrimination Perception Scale,Perceived Social Support Scale and Delaware Bullying Victimization Scale.SPSS and Amos statistical analysis software were used for data analysis to explore whether there are differences in demographic variables(grade,gender,only child or not,registered permanent residence)in junior high school students’ parental psychological control,discrimination perception,perceived social support and bullying victimization,and to analyze the influence of parents’ psychological control,discrimination perception and perceived social support on bullying victimization.In the second part,by qualitative analysis,464 junior high school students and 30 parents were tested and interviewed and the influence of parental rearing patterns in the family of origin on bullying victims of junior high school students was deeply discussed.The conclusions are as following:1.There are significant differences in demographic variables(gender,registered permanent residence,only child or not,grade)between parents’ psychological control,perceived social support,perceived discrimination and victimization of bullying.Boys’ parental psychological control,discrimination perception and bullying victimization were significantly higher than girls.Boys perceived social support significantly lower than girls.The perceived social support of the only child was significantly higher than that of the non only child,and the bullying victimization of the individual child was significantly lower than that of the non only child.The father’s psychological control of Grade 7 and grade 9junior high school students was considerably higher than that of Grade 8 junior high school students.The mother’s psychological control of Grade 7 junior high school students was considerably higher than that of Grade 8 junior high school students.Perceived social support of Grade 7 junior high school students was significantly higher than that of grade 9junior high school students.The discrimination perception of Grade 7 and grade 8 junior high school students was considerably higher than that of grade 9 junior high school students.2.Parents’ psychological control of junior high school students can significantly predict the level of bullying victimization,and can indirectly substantially predict the level of bullying victimization by improving the perception of discrimination.Perceived social support has a significant moderating effect on the mediating model.3.There are many influencing factors of bullying victimization among junior high school students,and the mechanism between the factors is comprehensive and complex.In the interview,it is found that parent-child communication of the original family can play a part in junior high school students’ understanding of social support.Effective communication can improve the level of perceived social support,thus reduce the perception of discrimination,and then reduce the level of bullying victims.
