“…Besides demonstrating strong evidence for temporal mediation effects, these latter results highlighted three important aspects of these mediations: they are general, immediately experienced and longer-lasting. These results are in line with previous studies for the internalizing path (Earnshaw et al, 2017;Marschall-lévesque et al, 2017;Rowe et al, 2019;Vannucci et al, 2020; .

“…For instance, structural equation modelling findings demonstrated that more frequent experiences of peer victimization in the 5th grade were associated with greater depressive symptoms in the 7th grade, which, in turn, were associated with a greater likelihood of alcohol use in the 10th grade (Earnshaw et al, 2017). In addition, Rowe et al (2019) found a significant mediation path between 10th grade peer victimization, 11th grade anxiety symptoms, and 12 th grade alcohol use (similar results were found for the 9 to 11 th grade path).…”

Peer victimization is common in adolescence and have been associated with a broad variety of psychopathology and alcohol use. The present study assessed whether peer victimization has a time-varying effect on alcohol use through internalizing and externalizing symptoms and whether this indirect association throughout time is moderated by personality. This 5-year longitudinal study (3,800 grade 7 adolescents) used Bayesian multilevel moderated mediation models: independent variable was peer victimization; moderators were four personality dimensions (anxiety sensitivity, hopelessness, impulsivity, and sensation seeking); internalizing symptoms (anxiety, depressive symptoms) and externalizing symptoms (conduct, hyperactivity problems) were the mediators; and alcohol use, the outcome. Results indicated significant between, within, and lagged effects on alcohol use through internalizing and externalizing symptoms. There was significant between and within effects on alcohol use through internalizing symptoms for adolescents with high anxiety sensitivity and hopelessness, and significant between, within, and lagged effects on alcohol use through externalizing for adolescents with high impulsivity and sensation seeking. These findings implicate two risk pathways that account for how peer victimization enhances alcohol use risk and emphasize the importance of personality profiles that can shape the immediate and long-term consequences of victimization. Keywords: multilevel moderated mediation model, victimization, personality, psychopathology, alcohol use.

“…Believing one's own characteristics or flaws caused victimization experiences might contribute to vulnerability to mental health problems. A recent study found that while anxiety and depression were significant mediators between peer victimization and alcohol use in White high school students, these indirect effects were not significant for African American students (Rowe, Zapolski, Hensel, Fisher, & Barnes-Najor, 2019). Further research is necessary to develop accurate and useful models of risk associated with peer victimization among racial and ethnic minority youth.…”

Despite increased research on bullying over the past few decades, researchers still have little understanding of how bullying differentially affects racial and ethnic minority and immigrant youth. To facilitate efforts to better evaluate the impact of bullying among racial and ethnic minority youth and improve interventions, we integrated research from multiple disciplines and conducted a systematic search to review relevant cross-cultural research on the prevalence of bullying, risk and protective factors, and differences in behaviors and outcomes associated with bullying in these populations. Studies measuring differences in bullying prevalence by racial and ethnic groups are inconclusive, and discrepancies in findings may be explained by differences in how bullying is measured and the impact of school and social environments. Racial and ethnic minorities and immigrants are disproportionately affected by contextual-level risk factors associated with bullying (e.g., adverse community, home, and school environments), which may moderate the effects of individual-level predictors of bullying victimization or perpetration (e.g., depressive symptoms, empathy, hostility, etc.) on involvement and outcomes. Minority youth may be more likely to perpetrate bullying, and are at much higher risk for poor health and behavioral outcomes as a result of bias-based bullying. At the same time, racial and ethnic minorities and immigrants may be protected against bullying involvement and its negative consequences as a result of strong ethnic identity, positive cultural and family values, and other resilience factors. Considering these findings, we evaluate existing bullying interventions and prevention programs and propose directions for future research.

“…A study recruiting African adolescents revealed a predominant indirect pathway between bullying and tobacco and alcohol use through the mediation of loneliness [33]. Another paper reported that the effect of peer victimization on alcohol use was mediated by depression and anxiety among white youths [34]. Two previous studies have indicated that depressive symptoms mediate the effect of bullying on substance use in females but not in males [35,36].…”

Sedative/hypnotic use and homophobic bullying have become a big mental health concern for gay and bisexual men. However, few studies have investigated the mediators and moderators of the association between them. The current study aimed to build a conceptual model to estimate the mediating effect of emotional symptoms and the moderating effect of family support on this association among gay and bisexual men in Taiwan. A total of 500 gay or bisexual men were recruited for the study. Their history of homophobic bullying, their experience of sedative/hypnotic use, their perceived family support, and their current emotional symptoms were evaluated using self-reporting questionnaires. A moderated mediation model was developed to test the mediating effect of emotional symptoms and the moderating effect of family support. A higher level of homophobic bullying was significantly associated with sedative/hypnotic use among gay and bisexual men and this was mediated by a higher severity of emotional symptoms. A moderating effect of family support was identified, wherein the mediating effect of emotional symptoms was weaker when there was a higher level of perceived family support, thus revealing the protective effect of family support. The significant impact of emotional symptoms and family support on the association between homophobic bullying and sedative/hypnotic use was identified. Timely interventions for emotional symptoms and the enhancement of family support are crucial for gay and bisexual men.
