Childhood adversity and peer influence in adolescent bullying perpetration

Article scientifique 2024 Anglais

Résumé

Bullying among South African adolescents is a critical public health issue. This study explores the relationship between childhood adversity, peer influence, and personality traits in predicting bullying perpetration. Data from 769 high school learners were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling. Findings indicate that childhood adversity predicts bullying perpetration, mediated by peer influence and moderated by personality traits like conscientiousness, extraversion, and emotional stability. These results support Social Learning Theory, emphasising observed behaviours and peer dynamics in bullying. Practical implications include targeted interventions addressing childhood adversity and fostering positive peer interactions and personality development.
