“…One explanation is that the females’ EI is higher than the males’ EI is [ 62 , 63 ]. Another explanation could be that the prevalence of bullying victimization is lower among females than it is among males [ 64 , 65 , 66 ]. Friendships are valued highly among adolescents, particularly among females [ 82 ], and as a result, females may be less likely to report bullying incidents perpetrated by a friend for fear of social rejection [ 83 ], which weakens the correlation between EI and school victimization among females.…”

School victimization among children and youth is a global public health issue that has long-term adverse effects on the victims’ mental health and behavioral development. Theories and research suggest that emotional intelligence may operate as a buffer against school bullying victimization. However, the strength of the association between emotional intelligence and bullying victimization is controversial. Therefore, we aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the exact association between Emotional intelligence and school bullying victimization. We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations, Google Scholar, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from inception to March 2022 for relevant studies that examine the association between emotional intelligence and school bullying victimization without a language limit. Twenty-four articles were included in our meta-analysis (n = 27,438). There was a small, negative, and significant association between emotional intelligence and school victimization among children and youth students. Sex and emotional intelligence measurement tools were variables that significantly moderated the link between emotional intelligence and bullying victimization. The findings indicated that improving students’ emotional intelligence could be a crucial strategy to lower the students’ risk of being bullied in school and online. It would be more effective among male students.

“…This finding contrasts with the previous studies since most researchers found moderate to high bullying perpetration. For instance, the study of Elmahdy et al (2022) has shown that bullying is higher among adolescents in the Jazan region while Farrell & Vaillancourt (2020) revealed that a small number of adolescents have moderate level of bullying perpetration. In fact, AlBuhairan et al ( 2016) also reported that 26% of 9073 adolescents in their study have experienced bullying in a span of 30 days.…”
