“…However, unlike a previous Australian study in adults 23 using the Short Form Health Survey in which earlier bullyingvictimization experiences significantly affected psychological HRQOL, this study did not find such a significant association. Other than differences in the study population and measures used, it is worth noting that our study controlled for depression, a mental disorder that commonly occurs after bullying-victimization experiences.…”

“…But it is NOT BULLYING when two students of about the same strength quarrel or fight." 8,23 In addition to this statement, definitions and examples of the 4 types of bullying (physical, verbal, relational, and cyber), as described previously, were also provided to the participants on the questionnaire. For each type of bullying, the time periods of occurrence included the following: never, precollege, in-college (ie, while enrolled as a college student), and in both periods (ie, both before and in college).…”

“…22 For example, Australian researchers found worsened physical and psychological HRQOL among adults with past experiences of bullying victimization. 23 In sum, school bullying may have both acute and long-term health effects. Although bullying in college appeared to be less prevalent (eg, ,7% in the United States 24 ) than in primary and secondary schools, precollege bullying experiences may still have residual effects on college students' health.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Bullying is a commonly occurring problem behavior in youths that could lead to long-term health effects. However, the impact of school bullying experiences on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among college students has been relatively underexplored. This study aimed to describe school bullying experiences and to empirically examine their associations with HRQOL among college students in Taiwan.METHODS: Self-administered survey data (response rate 84.2%) were collected from 1452 college students in 2013 by using proportional stratified cluster sampling. Different types of bullying experiences (ie, physical, verbal, relational, and cyber) before and in college, for bullies and victims, were measured. HRQOL was assessed by the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) Taiwan version.RESULTS: College students with cyber bullying-victimization experiences before college (b 0.060) reported significantly higher HRQOL in physical health. Regarding social relationships, those with verbal (b -0.086) and relational (b -0.056) bullying-victimization experiences, both before and in college, reported significantly lower HRQOL, whereas those with verbal (b 0.130) and relational (b 0.072) bullying-perpetration experiences in both periods reported significantly higher HRQOL. Students with cyber bullying-victimization experiences in college (b 0.068) reported significantly higher HRQOL in the environment domain. Last, the effects of verbal and relational bullying-victimization experiences on psychological HRQOL could be mediated and manifested through depression.CONCLUSIONS: Various types of bullying experiences occurring before and in college were differentially associated with HRQOL in different domains. These findings underscore the importance of developing school policies and health education initiatives to prevent school bullying and ameliorate its short-term and long-term effects on HRQOL.

“…Moreover, the retrospective studies reviewed in this paper have suggested an association between being bullied at school and long-term psychic adjustment (Chapel et al, 2008;Dempsey and Storch, 2008;Allison, 2009;Orth, 2009). As previously discussed, adults with a history of being bullied are likely to develop depression, anxiety, personality disorder, and loneliness.…”

Bullying is considered and evaluated as a proxy for unmeasured productivity, and a framework is provided that outlines why bullying might affect employment outcomes through differences in skills and traits. Using Bivariate and Heckit models we employ a variety of specifications and find several interesting patterns. The regression outcomes suggest that labour force participation, employment rate and hourly wages are negatively affected by bullying. In addition, men, homosexuals, immigrants, unmarried people, those having higher negative mental health symptoms, and those having lower human capital are more negatively affected by bullying in terms of labour force participation, employment probability, and hourly wages. Moreover, Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions suggest that labour force participation gaps, employment gaps and hourly wage gaps between minority and majority groups, especially for gay men and the disabled, can be explained by bullying incidents. It seems likely that having been a victim of bullying also has economic implications later in life due to withdrawal from the labour market and lower wages.JEL Classification: E24, J21, J24

Does School Bullying Affect Adult Health? Population Survey of Health-Related Quality of Life and Past Victimization

Abstract: Adults commonly reported experiencing bullying while at school and these reports were associated with lower health-related quality of life in adulthood. School bullying needs further investigation as a preventable cause of mental health problems across the lifespan.
