The aim of this study was to examine the psychiatric correlates of bullying behavior in the United States. Data were derived from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions, a nationally representative sample of US adults. Structured psychiatric interviews (N = 43,093) were completed by trained lay interviewers between 2001 and 2002. Six percent of US adults reported a lifetime history of bullying others. Respondents who were men, 18 to 34, Asian/Native American, earned <or=$35,000 annually, were born in the US, and received no college education had significantly higher rates of bullying. Multivariate logistic regression analyses identified significant associations between bullying and bipolar disorder, lifetime alcohol and marijuana use disorders, nicotine dependence, conduct disorder, antisocial, paranoid, and histrionic personality disorders, and family history of antisocial behavior. Prevention and treatment targeting bullying behaviors, comorbid conditions, and their precursors could potentially reduce the prevalence and consequences of bullying.
本研究旨在探讨美国欺凌行为的精神科相关因素。数据来源于全国酒精和相关条件的流行病学调查，这是一个具有全国代表性的美国成年人样本。2001 年至 2002 年期间，由经过培训的非专业调查员完成了结构化的精神科访谈（N=43093）。6%的美国成年人报告称曾有过欺负他人的经历。报告中，男性、18 至 34 岁、亚裔/美国原住民、年收入<或=$35000、在美国出生和未接受过大学教育的受访者，其欺凌他人的比率明显更高。多元逻辑回归分析确定了欺凌行为与双相情感障碍、终生酒精和大麻使用障碍、尼古丁依赖、品行障碍、反社会、偏执和戏剧型人格障碍以及反社会行为家族史之间存在显著关联。针对欺凌行为、合并症及其前体的预防和治疗可能会降低欺凌行为的发生率和后果。
