Relationship between different roles of school bullying and self consciousness among adolescents / 中国学校卫生

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the relationship between different roles of school bullying and self consciousness among adolescents, and to provide a reference for school bullying prevention and control.@*Methods@#In Ezhou and Xiaogan, two cities selected randomly from Hubei Province, 4 336 middle school students randomly selected from Ezhou and Xiaogan City in Hubei Province by stratified cluster sampling method during March to October in 2017, were investigated for an anonymous questionnaire survey. The Chinese version of adolescent school violence questionnaire was used to evaluate the different roles in school bullying, and the Self Consciousness Scale(SCS) was used to assess the level of self awareness.@*Results@#About 18.9% of the respondents (819) were involved in bullying, among 86(2.0%) were pure perpetrators, 369 (8.5%) were pure victims, 364 (8.4%) were perpetrator victims. There were significant differences in public and private self awareness among different roles of campus bullying ( F=4.05, 2.90, P <0.05). The public self awareness score of perpetrator victims was higher than that of the uninvolved. The private self consciousness score of perpetrator victims was lower than that of the uninvolved ( P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed a negative correlation between private self awareness and perpetrator victims. Private self awareness might reduce the risk of teenagers becoming perpetrator victims ( OR=0.93, 95%CI =0.91-0.96). A positive correlation between public self awareness and perpetrator victims and public self awareness might increase the risk of adolescents becoming perpetrator victims ( OR=1.08, 95%CI = 1.06- 1.11).@*Conclusion@#Self awareness is related to different roles of school bullying, and higher public self awareness and lower private self awareness are important predictors of perpetrator victims of school bullying.
