Adolescent interactions with their peers, like bullying, have been linked to parent-adolescent interactions. However, these links have not been fully explored in bullying prevention and intervention research. Evaluations of universal bullying prevention programs often find modest effects on adolescent bullying outcomes, and few studies have examined parent-level influences on these outcomes. It may be advantageous for those in bullying research to test the differential effects of program outcomes via moderation. The current evaluation study examines the effects of the Be SAFE bullying prevention program on adolescent bullying behaviors, as moderated by adolescent perceived parenting. By applying a multi-level moderation model, the current study assessed changes in self-reported bullying behaviors for a sample of 82 middle school students who participated in the Be SAFE bullying prevention program. Students also self-reported their parent’s level of warmth, hostility, and parenting style. This evaluation study shows that adolescents who perceived their parents to be permissive increased in bullying perpetration and assisting behaviors at a higher rate than those who perceived their parents as authoritative or authoritarian. These results suggest that distal factors may impact outcomes of youth prevention programs. Particularly, this study’s findings show that parent-adolescent interactions may impede the effectiveness of bullying prevention efforts. Future evaluations of bullying prevention programs should use moderation analyses to understand how proximal and distal factors may impact youth program outcomes.

青少年与同龄人的互动，如欺凌，与父母与青少年的互动有关。然而，这些联系在欺凌预防和干预研究中并未得到充分探索。对普遍欺凌预防计划的评估通常发现对青少年欺凌结果的影响不大，很少有研究检查父母层面对这些结果的影响。对于欺凌研究的人来说，通过适度测试项目结果的不同影响可能是有利的。当前的评估研究检查了Be SAFE的影响针对青少年欺凌行为的欺凌预防计划，由青少年感知的养育方式进行调节。通过应用多层次调节模型，本研究评估了参加Be SAFE的 82 名中学生的自我报告欺凌行为的变化欺凌预防计划。学生们还自我报告了他们父母的热情程度、敌意程度和养育方式。这项评估研究表明，与认为父母是权威或专制的青少年相比，认为父母宽容的青少年在欺凌行为和协助行为方面的比率更高。这些结果表明，远端因素可能会影响青年预防计划的结果。特别是，这项研究的结果表明，父母与青少年的互动可能会阻碍欺凌预防工作的有效性。未来对欺凌预防项目的评估应使用适度分析来了解近端和远端因素如何影响青年项目的结果。
