ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to explore the potential moderating role of perceived social support (school personnel, friends) and gender in the association between distinct psychopathic traits (callous-unemotional traits, narcissism, impulsivity) with bullying and victimization among 1442 Greek speaking early adolescents. Results suggested that all psychopathic traits were significant risk factors of bullying, whereas only impulsivity was a significant risk factor of victimization. Importantly, narcissism was the stronger explanatory factor of bullying. In addition, school and friend perceived social support acted as protective factors from victimization. Ιn addition, school and friend perceived social support moderated the link between narcissism and bullying. Specifically, narcissism was more strongly associated with bullying when school support was low and friend support was high. Finally, gender moderated the relationship only between narcissism and bullying, suggesting that the association between narcissism and bullying was stronger for boys compared to girls. Altogether, these findings highlight the importance of studying the influence of social context on youths with antisocial personality traits and their engagement in bullying and victimization. Findings might have implications for interventions aiming to reduce bullying and victimization.

摘要

本研究的目的是探索感知的社会支持（学校人员、朋友）和性别在不同的精神病特征（冷酷无情的特征、自恋、冲动）与 1442 年早期讲希腊语的欺凌和受害之间的关联中的潜在调节作用青少年。结果表明，所有精神病特征都是欺凌的重要危险因素，而只有冲动是受害的重要危险因素。重要的是，自恋是欺凌的更强解释因素。此外，学校和朋友认为社会支持是防止受害的保护因素。此外，学校和朋友感知的社会支持缓和了自恋和欺凌之间的联系。具体来说，当学校支持率低而朋友支持率高时，自恋与欺凌的关联性更强。最后，性别仅调节自恋和欺凌之间的关系，这表明与女孩相比，男孩的自恋和欺凌之间的关联更强。总而言之，这些发现强调了研究社会背景对具有反社会人格特征的青少年及其参与欺凌和受害行为的影响的重要性。调查结果可能会对旨在减少欺凌和受害的干预措施产生影响。这些发现强调了研究社会背景对具有反社会人格特征的青年及其参与欺凌和受害行为的影响的重要性。调查结果可能会对旨在减少欺凌和受害的干预措施产生影响。这些发现强调了研究社会背景对具有反社会人格特征的青年及其参与欺凌和受害行为的影响的重要性。调查结果可能会对旨在减少欺凌和受害的干预措施产生影响。
