Bullying is a major risk factor for poor psychological development for both children and adolescents worldwide. The current study, based on data from the International Survey of Children's Well-Being (ISCWeB), explores the association between bullying victimization and subjective well-being as well as the moderating role of the child religiosity in this context among a sample of 2733 children aged 10-12 years old in Israel. Data was collected from children using self-reporting questionnaires, adopting a random stratified sampling method. A PROCESS moderation analysis was performed using SPSS for assessing the part played by child religiosity in moderating bullying victimization and the subjective well-being of children. This produced two key findings: first, children's subjective well-being is negatively associated with bullying victimization; second, children's religiosity serves as a protective factor by moderating the association between the child's bullying victimization and subjective well-being. In light of the results, we recommend professionals who work with children to incorporate spiritual and religious resources into school-based interventions aiming at strengthening the child's inner resilience and help overcome difficulties in their lives, based on a religious coping strategies.
欺凌是全世界儿童和青少年心理健康发展不良的一个主要风险因素。本研究基于《儿童福利国际调查》（ISCWeB）的数据，探讨了在以色列一个由 2733 名 10-12 岁儿童组成的样本中，受欺凌与主观幸福感之间的关系，以及儿童宗教信仰在这种情况下对这两者关系的调节作用。通过采用随机分层抽样方法，使用自我报告问卷从儿童那里收集数据。使用 SPSS 进行 PROCESS 调节分析，以评估儿童宗教信仰在调节欺凌受害与儿童主观幸福感方面所扮演的角色。这产生了两个关键发现：第一，儿童的主观幸福感与欺凌受害呈负相关；第二，儿童的宗教信仰起到了保护作用，调节了儿童受欺凌与主观幸福感之间的关系。鉴于这些结果，我们建议从事儿童工作的专业人员将精神和宗教资源纳入以学校为基础的干预措施中，目的是根据宗教应对策略，增强儿童的内在适应力并帮助他们克服生活中的困难。
