With the aim of investigating the impact of gender-related personality characteristics on bullying perceptions and outcomes, a correlational study was designed with 114 individuals who had used a public health service aimed at harassed workers identifying themselves as victims of mobbing in central Italy. The study was conducted using the following questionnaires: the Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ), a measure of workplace bullying; the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2), used to provide information to measure personality dimensions for workplace screening; the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BRIEF) which assesses four domains assumed to represent the quality of life construct; and the Suicidal Potential Scale (SPS) used to assess suicidal ideation. MMPI-2 profile results show a significant elevation of specific MMPI scales and gender differences. When compared to women, men who complain of being the victims of negative actions at work are more depressed, paranoid, introverted, anxious, and obsessive, and have higher anger levels and lower self-esteem. Many different MMPI-2 scales are also predictors of quality of life (QoL) perceptions and suicidal tendencies. The NAQ total score, however, predicts quality of life and suicide risk. Perceptions of negative actions have a serious effect on life outcomes. The results provide useful indications on personality profiles and gender differences, which can be understood as antecedents in the perception of negative events, and factors capable of modulating the effect of perceived bullying actions on outcomes.
本研究旨在探讨性别相关人格特征对欺凌感知和结果的影响，采用相关性研究设计，对 114 名曾使用公共卫生服务的个体进行研究，这些个体在意大利中部将自己识别为骚扰工作者的受虐者。研究采用以下问卷进行：负面行为问卷（NAQ），一种工作场所欺凌的衡量标准；明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI-2），用于提供信息以衡量工作场所筛查的人格维度；世界卫生组织生活质量（WHOQOL-BRIEF），评估假设代表生活质量结构的四个领域；自杀倾向量表（SPS），用于评估自杀意念。MMPI-2 特征结果显示特定 MMPI 量表显著升高和性别差异。与女性相比，抱怨工作中受到负面行为影响的男性更抑郁、偏执、内向、焦虑和强迫，愤怒水平更高，自尊心更低。许多不同的 MMPI-2 量表也是生活质量（QoL）感知和自杀倾向的预测因素。然而，NAQ 总分预测生活质量和自杀风险。对负面行为的感知对生活结果有严重影响。研究结果提供了有用的人格特征和性别差异的指示，这些特征可以被理解为对负面事件的感知的前因，以及能够调节感知欺凌行为对结果的影响的因素。
