The paper presents the results of the study on the prevalence of bullying and its relationship with student's sex and age, distribution of student roles, as well as characteristics of a bully such as sex, age and number. The survey data were obtained from 1,526 high school students in grades 2 through 4, from 19 Belgrade high schools. The findings of the study show that during the 2019/2020 school year slightly more than one third of students were involved in bullying. When it comes to bullying victimization, Belgrade high schools are slightly below the world average. Other characteristics generally do not differ from those found in previous research, and its main peculiarity is the fact that older students were more likely to experience bullying victimization, whereas no age-related differences were found when it comes to bullying perpetration.

“…More studies have also found that the rate of bullying or participation in bullying is significantly higher for boys than for girls, and this difference is consistent across cultures [27,28]. Sideridis and Alghamdi [29] examined differences in bullying behaviors across gender, finding that boys were more likely to be perpetrators of forms of direct bullying, such as physical bullying. In addition, studies have found that there are gender differences in the Dark Triad [30].…”

Recently, the phenomenon of school bullying has gradually become a primary focus of social attention. To reduce the occurrence of bullying, it is important that we explore the psychological mechanisms of students with bullying tendencies. We conducted mediation models through a multi-group analysis to verify the mediating effect of coping styles on the relationship between dark personality traits and bullying, and further explored the differences in this mechanism between male and female groups. The participants were 772 high school students recruited from a middle school in Tianjin, China. They completed a set of self-reported measurements including the Dirty Dozen (DD), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ), and Reactive–Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ). All the measurement instruments have acceptable reliability and validity. The results of the multi-group multiple models indicated that (1) there are significant gender differences in bullying behavior, with males scoring significantly higher than females. Moreover, the gender difference was only reflected in proactive aggression, in which males had higher scores than females; there was no significant gender difference in reactive aggression. (2) In the group of females, both negative and positive coping styles partially moderated the relationship between the Dark Triad and bullying. However, in the group of males, only negative coping styles partially mediated the relationship between the Dark Triad and bullying. (3) The above results also held for proactive aggression. In conclusion, our study highlights the gender differences in the mediating effect of coping styles on the relationship between the Dark Triad and bullying and proactive aggression. These findings contribute to better shared understanding of gender-related aspects in school bullying.

IntroductionEven though existing amounts of results have shown that school bullying could be related to the main components of executive functions (EFs) (inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility), research focused on this association yields inconsistent results.MethodTo address this research gap, the current study conducted a three‐level meta‐analysis approach and simultaneously considered the two perspectives of the bully and victim to clarify the relationship between school bullying experienced by children and EFs. It also explored the moderating variables that affect the relationship between school bullying and EFs.ResultsBased on 18 studies reporting 73 effect sizes (N = 21,725), the results revealed that the overall effect size for the association between both the bullies and victims of school bullying incidents with EFs (rbullies = −0.154, p < .05; rvictims = −0.187, p < .001). Moderator analyses revealed that the negative correlation between bullies of school bullying and EFs was moderated by EF components, but it was not affected by gender, age, and the EF measurement method. Moreover, the negative correlation between victims of school bullying and EFs was not affected by the form of bullying, source of report, facet of EFs, EF measurement, gender, age, and culture.ConclusionsThe present meta‐analysis revealed a relationship between school bullying and EFs. Both bullies and victims appear to have lower EF levels. The results also emphasized that lower inhibitory control was more likely to be a crucial risk factor for bullying behavior.
