“…Sleep problems have a high prevalence as well among children and adolescents, and can affect mood, cognition, physiological processes and growth during a critical development period. A study examining data (N ¼ 282 036 adolescents 13-17 years of age) from the Global School-based Student Health Survey conducted between 2003 and 2017 in 91 countries found that adolescents who were frequently bullied (defined as 3 per 30 days) reported a greater prevalence of severe sleep loss and were significantly more likely to experience severe and moderate sleep loss A meta-analysis that included 27 articles (9167 participants) found adverse childhood experiences such as bullying to be positively associated with body dysmorphic disorder symptoms [17].…”

Purpose of review Bullying is a common adversity affecting many children and adolescents. It has been shown to negatively impact the psychological well being not only of targets of bullying, but also that of bullying perpetrators and those witnessing bullying. Bullying is linked to depression and poorer mental health and functioning among children and adolescents. Given the high prevalence of bullying among children and adolescents and the negative mental health sequelae of bullying, this is an area of urgent public health concern. This narrative review brings forth recent research findings in this arena, which could help shape public health policies for addressing and preventing bullying. Recent findings Recent findings demonstrate an association of bullying among children and adolescents with depression, nonsuicidal self-injury, sleep loss, reduced health-related quality of life, poorer rates of graduation from high school and later mental health problems. A recent systematic review also showed an association of peer-victimization among children and adolescents with activation of amygdala, left parahippocampal gyrus and fusiform gyrus, and alterations in other brain areas. Summary Evidence indicates that bullying in childhood and adolescence is associated with higher odds of developing mental health problems; therefore, early identification and timely intervention is crucial.

“…Despite that various definitions of child abuse are there as shown in Table 1 (A1–A3), there is consensus that it can be described as any form of physical and emotional ill treatment, sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation, resulting in actual or potential harm to children’s dignity, health, or development (A1) (Subedi et al, 2019). Some researchers have suggested mounting negative effects of child abuse on their psychological development (Ashraf et al, 2020; Longobardi et al, 2022). For instance, it has been found that child abuse can interfere with the development of children’s emotion regulation and interpersonal relationships, undermine their self-esteem, and induce feelings of shame and inadequacy (Longobardi et al, 2022).…”

For instance, it has been found that child abuse can interfere with the development of children’s emotion regulation and interpersonal relationships, undermine their self-esteem, and induce feelings of shame and inadequacy (Longobardi et al, 2022). As depicted in Table 1, child abuse falls into four categories: psychological abuse (B1), physical abuse (C1), sexual abuse (D1), and neglect behavior (E1) (Azzopardi et al, 2019; Gülırmak & Orak, 2021; Sarkar et al, 2020; Scoglio et al, 2021; Wu et al, 2022).…”

Child abuse is considered to be an essential factor in the development of aggressive behavior. The intensity of the positive relations between child abuse and aggressive behavior differed considerably among researches despite the fact that abundant studies have observed this relation. According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach, a three-level meta-analysis was employed to obtain reliable estimates for the sizes of effects and investigate some potential moderators of the relation between child abuse and aggressive behavior. The present study obtained 51 studies (30,566 participants; 680 effect sizes) through performing the detailed literature search. It was found that child abuse was positively associated with aggressive behavior in the current study. In addition, the present meta-analysis observed significant moderating effects for type of child abuse, culture, measurement of child abuse, and publication year in the association between child abuse and aggressive behavior. This study suggests that child abuse is a predictor for the development of aggressive behavior in humans. Moreover, child abuse is an important aspect for consideration in efforts toward strengthening of interventions targeting individuals’ aggressive behavior.

“…For example, a higher frequency of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) correlates with excessive media use, especially among females (Jackson et al., 2021). Similarly, greater ACEs associates with poorer self‐concept, a risk factor for internalization and body dissatisfaction (Jackson et al., 2021; Longobardi et al., 2022; Vartanian et al., 2023). Taken together, excessive media use may emerge in populations at greater risk for corresponding psychopathology and body image concerns.…”

Over ninety percent of American teens and the majority of children have smartphones. As access to social media increases so does the growing concern for the psychological well‐being of today's youth. The current cross‐sectional study examined the media use, appearance pressure, and body image of 150 Midwestern American Generation Z (born in 1997–2012) youth. This study assessed media use by child‐report, parent‐report, and by gathering data directly from the child's smartphone. Results demonstrated that media use was higher in teens than children, but did not suggest strong gender differences. The data also showed the inconsistencies present in media use reporting, with parents overestimating the amount of time their children spend on phones. Media use was found to be unrelated to body image. Media pressure and social media integration into participants’ social routines were intercorrelated and higher in the older age groups than the younger ones. Media pressure and media use was found to be less gendered than expected, but greatly shifted with age. Time spent on social media may be less influential on body image than the content of the media being consumed.
