“…Another study conducted among 22 middle schools in Suzhou, Jiangsu province found that 26.4% of boys and 14.3% of girls had been involved in bullying at least once in the last semester [23]. An earlier study by our research team using the same data set as the present study also revealed that about 16.85% and 11.11% of male and female students had been involved in school fighting [24]. Based on the existing findings, the present investigation focused on male students' school bullying behaviors and particularly predictive factors.…”

“…In measuring adolescent bullying perpetration, the present study used the bullying subscale of the Chinese version of the Illinois Bully Scale (IBS) [ 71 , 72 ], which has been shown to have good reliability [ 24 , 73 ]. The subscale includes nine items to assess bullying behaviors in the past 30 days.…”

“…The internal consistency of the bullying subscale was acceptable in the current sample (Cronbach’s alpha= 0.80). In this study, bullying was coded as a dummy variable, with 1 representing “involved in bullying” and 0 representing “not involved in bullying.” Following previous studies, “three or four times” was used as the threshold value for coding whether a student was involved in bullying behavior [ 24 ]. That is, a student who had engaged in a bullying behavior at least 3–4 times in the past 30 days was coded as a bullying perpetrator.…”

This study investigated the association between gender role attitudes, perceived friend support, and school bullying among male adolescents from 11 schools in two cities in China. A total of 3172 Chinese adolescents between 12 and 20 years of age (48.80% girls and 51.20% boys) completed questionnaires that included measures of bullying, gender role attitudes, and perceived social support. In terms of outcome measures, the Chinese version of the Illinois Bully Scale (IBS), Attitudes toward Women Scale for Adolescents (AWSA), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were used to assess bullying perpetration, gender role attitudes, and perceived friend support, respectively. Based on masculinity theories and the stress-buffering theory, the study found that male adolescents held more traditional gender role attitudes (t = 30.78, p < 0.001) and reported higher prevalence of bullying behaviors (36.02%) than girls (31.20%). In addition, boys’ bullying behaviors were significantly predicted by gender role attitudes through perceived friend support. That is, male youth with more conservative gender role attitudes reported less perceived friend support (adjusted OR = 1.055; SE = 0.013), which elevated their risks of bullying perpetration (adjusted OR = 2.082; SE = 0.302). These findings have critical implications for bullying intervention and prevention through gender equity education.

“…We extracted the subscale measuring EMA from the emotion intelligence scale, as other studies (Zhang et al, 2019). The subscale included 4 items (e.g., "When I feel stressed out, I don't know how to de-stress"), which was used to measure whether the individual could control, recognize, express, and regulate negative emotion.…”

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has exerted a tremendous impact on the psyche of people around the world, especially adolescents. In order to provide a valuable theoretical basis for effective measures to prevent psychological problems in adolescents during public health emergencies in the future, this study examined the mediating effect of coping style (CS, including positive coping style (PCS) and negative coping style (NCS)) and the moderating effect of emotional management ability (EMA) on the relationship between the psychological stress response (PSR) and aggression (AGG) in adolescents during the COVID-19 epidemic in China. The Buss–Warren Aggression Questionnaire, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, and Emotion Management Questionnaire were employed to investigate the mental health of Chinese adolescents from April 10–20 (Time point 1, T1) and May 20–30 (Time point 2, T2), 2020. A total of 1,931 adolescents (aged 10–25 years, M = 19.18 years, 51.4% male) were examined at T1 and 334 adolescents (aged 11–25 years, M = 19.97 years, 48.7% male) were reinvestigated at T2. Overall, 17.6% of the participants at T1 and 16.8% at T2 reported obvious PSR activation. NCS partly mediated the relationship between the PSR and AGG, and the indirect effect was moderated by EMA reported at T2. There were regional differences in the moderated mediation model in low-risk areas at T1. The moderated effects of EMA at T1 and T2 were opposite. Specifically, high EMA resulted in a stronger relationship between NCS and AGG at T1, whereas high EMA resulted in a weaker relationship between NCS and AGG at T2. Psychological reactions resulting from sudden public health events may trigger AGG in younger individuals. However, EMA may have a buffering effect on the onset of AGG. This research expands our understanding of the development of AGG in adolescents during the pandemic.
