The Effect of Loneliness on Bullying Victimization:The Chain Mediating Role of Alienation and Negative Coping style
This paper explores the chain mediating effects of alienation and negative coping style between loneliness on bull-ying victimization in middle school students.By using the method of convenient cluster sampling,870 middle school students from 4 middle schools in Jiangxi Province were selected as the research subjects.The results show that:the correlation analysis found that,loneliness,alienation,negative coping style and bullying victimization correlated significantly with each other.Path analysis indicated that the direct effect of loneliness on bullying victimization was significant;loneliness affected bullying vic-timization indirectly not only through the mediating effect of alienation,but also through the chain mediating effect of alienation and negative coping style.Therefore,loneliness not only directly affects bullying victimization,but also indirectly influences their bullying victimization through the chain mediating effects of alienation and negative coping style.
