Abstract

Background:Evidence suggests a robust relationship between experiencing bullying victimization (BV) and engaging in murderous behaviors among adolescents. However, the potential mediating effect of impulsivity on the relationship between BV and murderous behaviors in early adolescents remains underexplored.

Methods: A total of 5724 adolescents, with a mean age of 13.5 years, were enrolled from three middle schools in Anhui Province, China. Participants completed self-report questionnaires detailing their experiences with bullying, impulsiveness, and murderous behaviors. To assess the relationship between BV and murderous behaviors, multivariate logistic regression and Poisson regression analyses were conducted. Mediation analysis was performed using structural equation modeling.

Results: After controlling for confounding factors, a positive association was found between experiencing BV and engaging in murderous behaviors (p < 0.05). Mediation analysis revealed a significant indirect effect of BV on the occurrence of murderous behaviors through impulsivity (indirect effect = 0.027, 95 % CI: 0.021, 0.033). BV appears to heighten levels of impulsivity, which in turn increases the likelihood of murderous behaviors. Additionally, sex-specific analysis indicated that impulsivity played a greater mediating role in the link between verbal and relational BV and murderous behaviors in females, while physical and cyber BV were more significant in males.

Conclusions: Our findings underscore the necessity of early targeted interventions for adolescents experiencing BV and exhibiting high levels of impulsivity to mitigate their risk of engaging in murderous behaviors.

摘要

背景： 有证据表明，青少年遭受欺凌受害（BV）与参与谋杀行为之间存在密切关系。然而，冲动对 BV 与青少年早期杀人行为之间关系的潜在中介作用仍未得到充分探索。

方法： 共 5724 例青少年，平均年龄 13.5 岁，来自中国安徽省 3 所中学。参与者完成了自我报告问卷，详细说明了他们在欺凌、冲动和谋杀行为方面的经历。为了评估 BV 与谋杀行为之间的关系，进行了多变量 logistic 回归和泊松回归分析。使用结构方程建模进行中介分析。

结果： 在控制混杂因素后，发现经历 BV 与从事谋杀行为之间存在正相关（p＜0.05）。中介分析显示，BV 对冲动导致的杀人行为的发生具有显著的间接影响（间接效应＝0.027,95 % CI：0.021，0.033）。BV 似乎会提高冲动程度，这反过来又增加了谋杀行为的可能性。此外，性别特异性分析表明，冲动在女性语言和关系 BV 与谋杀行为之间的联系中发挥更大的中介作用，而男性的身体和网络 BV 更显着。

结论： 我们的研究结果强调了对经历 BV 并表现出高度冲动的青少年进行早期针对性干预的必要性，以减轻他们从事谋杀行为的风险。
