“…Previous studies have shown that victims who also take part in perpetration (i.e., bully-victims) are a particularly difficult group for teacher interventions to reach [ 66 ]. Classmates can also play a vital role as socializing agents [ 67 ] and should be empowered to recognize maladaptive humor use (i.e., the negative impact of self-defeating humor; bullying disguised as well-intentioned aggressive humor) and how to intervene in bullying situations [ 68 ], although potential iatrogenic effects of peer defending have not yet been well researched [ 69 ].…”

Humor can be both adaptive and maladaptive and plays a role in bullying victimization and school adjustment. It was hypothesized that humor styles decrease or increase victimization, which in turn affects school adjustment. Furthermore, humor might moderate effects of victimization on school adjustment. Moreover, a person-oriented approach could improve our understanding of group differences in these variables. An online questionnaire retrospectively surveyed emerging adults (N = 172; 77.2% female; mean age: 22.7 years) with respect to humor style use, bullying victimization and school adjustment. Mediation and moderation analyses were computed, and two sets of person-oriented analyses compared victims, bully-victims and noninvolved students on humor styles and school adjustment, and three latent humor-related groups (overall-high, adaptive-high and adaptive-low) on victimization and school adjustment. Victimization fully mediated the positive effect of affiliative humor and partially mediated the negative effect of self-defeating humor on school adjustment. The negative effect of victimization on school adjustment was magnified by self-defeating humor and attenuated by aggressive humor. Bully-victims used both aggressive and self-defeating humor more frequently, and victims used aggressive and affiliative humor less frequently. Furthermore, both victims and bully-victims showed lower school adjustment. Finally, the adaptive-high humor group showed lower victimization and higher school adjustment. Implications for school interventions are discussed.

“…Despite cultural variations, there were similarities in the level of damage experienced in different types of relationships, with the highest levels corresponding to relational aggression from best friends. Among differences by country, India and Indonesia adolescents reported a greater level of maximum harm when compared to other locations (Australia, Greece, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Mainland, China, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan and The Philippines) [15]. A study in Poland found that most of the sample (70%) experienced more than one type of victimization in the previous year; in addition, community disorganization, low commitment to school, poor family management, family conflict, peer social preference, and teacher-rated withdrawn and disruptive behavioral problems were identified as predictive factors for victimization [41].…”

“…Victimization is usually associated with increased externalizing and internalizing problems and total psychological distress [14]. During the pandemic, an increase in mental health problems has been observed in adolescent populations, which makes it crucial to assess the effects of victimization on mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic [15]. This analysis should consider that countries with higher inequality have suffered more regarding violence during the pandemic [16,17].…”

The objective of this study was to test the differences between the mean scores of victimization, an indicator of depression, stress, and anxiety (DASS), across seven countries (Australia, Chile, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, and the Russian Federation) during the COVID-19 lockdowns. In addition, this study sought to analyze the mediator role of resilience in these relationships in the different countries. To this end, a structural equation model (SEM) was tested and differences across countries were considered through a multigroup analysis. Data for adolescent students from seven countries (n = 7241) collected by the Global Research Alliance showed that levels of anxiety, depression, and stress among adolescents were different in the countries assessed; all of them presented values above the mean of the indicator, with Chile and Russia having the highest values. Regarding the prevalence of exposure to violence, the mean across all countries studied was 34%, with the highest prevalence in Russia and India. At the global level, an adequate adjustment was observed in the SEM mediation model considering all countries. However, a mediator effect of resilience was only observed in the relationship between victimization and the indicator of DASS in Chile, Indonesia, and Russia. The results are discussed, analyzing the relevance of resilience as a protective factor for mental health during COVID-19 lockdowns.

“…Based on a first approach to the comparative analysis, the data obtained show relationships between self-concept, emotional intelligence and violent behavior ( Baroncelli and Ciucci, 2014 ; Estévez et al, 2019 ; Cañas et al, 2020 ; Skrzypiec et al, 2021 ). In fact, it can be observed that university students with an average of outstanding marks have a negative relationship between their self-concept and the two kinds of violence.…”

Higher education is a focus of increasing violent behavior. The evidence suggests an obsession to achieve the best academic performance in order to access working life. This research aims to develop an explanatory model of violent behavior and its relationship with self-concept and emotional intelligence according to in relation to their academic performance. A sample of 932 Spanish undergraduate students participated in the multi-group structural equation modeling. Findings revealed that students who have a higher academic performance have problems to control and regulate their emotions, showing signs of direct and indirect violence. Moreover, it was found that that emotional intelligence and self-concept have a direct influence on episodes of violent behavior, with academic performance being a key component affecting each variable. The present study provides some implications and suggests some avenues for future research.
