Researchers examined the effect of experiencing bullying in childhood on mental health in adolescence.
By Dr. Sushama R. Chaphalkar, PhD.Feb 15 2024Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in Nature Mental Health, researchers examined the effect of experiencing bullying in childhood on mental health in adolescence. They found that bullying led to increased mental health problems in late adolescence, partially mediated by the development of interpersonal distrust during middle adolescence, aligning with the predictions of the social safety theory .
Peer bullying, a widespread issue globally, significantly affects both physical and mental health in children and adolescents. Previous research indicates causal links between bullying and various mental health challenges, including substance use, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal behaviors, along with negative academic outcomes such as low achievement and self-esteem.
About the study The study used the Millennium Cohort Study’s sampling, representing socioeconomically diverse wards and ethnicities across the United Kingdom. Data were collected through interviews of one parent and self-completion questionnaires. The cohort consisted of 10,000 members, primarily singletons or first-born twins or triplets, who provided valid data on self-reported peer bullying at age 11. About 51% of the cohort members were female.
Related StoriesAlong with interpersonal distrust, the other mediators considered were diet , sleep , and physical activity. Control variables included sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic characteristics, body mass index, neighborhood ecology, maternal mental health, vocabulary ability, prior mental health difficulties, and area air pollution levels, all known to be associated with adolescent mental health outcomes.
