“…Similarly, Walters and Kim-spoon (2014) found that, rather than being a protective factor for internalizing problems, high forgiveness exacerbated the effects of victimization. In particular, high benevolence motivations toward a bully increased the adverse psychological effects of verbal victimization and led to higher internalizing problems.…”

“…Participants were less angry when given the advice to forgive than after being advised to avoid or take revenge against the perpetrator, whereas they were more likely to ignore the bully and carry on with their day when given advice to avoid the bully, in comparison to receiving advice to seek revenge.

The study of bullying in adolescence has received increased attention over the past several decades. A growing body of research highlights the role of forgiveness and its association with aggression. In this article, we systematically review published studies on the association among online and traditional bullying and forgiveness in adolescents. Systematic searches were conducted in PsycINFO, MEDLINE, PsycArticles, and Scopus databases. From a total of 1,093 studies, 637 were nonduplicated studies and 18 were eventually included. Together, these studies provided evidence that forgiveness and bullying behaviors are negatively related: Adolescents with higher forgiveness levels bully less. Similarly, forgiveness is negatively related to victimization: Adolescents with higher forgiveness show less victimization. Unforgiveness was positively related to traditional and online bullying. This relationship appears to be consistent beyond types of bullying, certain background characteristics, and forgiveness measures. These findings are discussed, and clinical implications and guidelines for future research are presented.

“…Parents with a higher level of education had more family involvement with their children and provided adequate parental support. As a result, the students gain a sense of belonging to specific groups more than average ( Walters and Kim-Spoon, 2014 ). These students become socially isolated but to a lesser degree of a pure bully, and they are perceived to be a characteristic of a bullying victim.…”

The aim of this study is to identify the predictors of bullying in secondary school students . This study uses correlational and regression analysis to examine the relationship between demographic data of students and whether or not they partake in bullying or have been bullied. Out of the given surveys, 357 were answered. The survey was given to three public schools from Irbid city. The results of multiple logistic regression tests revealed that level of study (B = .184, p = 0.003) is positively and independently associated with bullying. Factors such as gender, income, and education are not significantly predictive of bullying behavior among school students. This study has implications for healthcare providers, nurses, and policymakers to adapt anti-bullying strategies for all secondary schools.

“…Besides, this study suggests that the kind of aggression (online or face-to-face) is important. Similarly, some research has found that it is not always favourable to forgive the offense [ 82 , 83 , 87 ]. So, it is worth noting that cyberspace presents a bad context for forgiving, because people cope more effectively with offenses when they feel they have greater control over their circumstances [ 80 ].…”

Previous research has highlighted the relationship between being cybervictimised and the presence of clinical symptoms, such as depression. To date, however, there has been no comparative analysis of the personal resources profiles of adolescent victims of cyberbullying with and without depressive symptoms. The current study analysed the relationship between positive personal resources and clinical symptoms in 251 adolescent victims of cyberbullying at several Spanish high schools. It examined how several positive personal resources varied in adolescent victims of cyberbullying who displayed symptoms of depression (n = 89) or did not (n = 162). Victims of cyberbullying who displayed depressive symptoms reported lower levels of personal resources (emotional intelligence, gratitude, optimism, and forgiveness) than those who did not. Logistic regression provided evidence that gratitude was the strongest predictor of depressive symptoms in victims of cyberbullying, followed by emotional intelligence and optimism. These findings expand the existing literature on the role of personal resources in mental health and highlight the need for their development in youths to help them cope more effectively and function better after being cyberbullied.
