This study uses polynomial regression and response surface analyses to investigate the joint effects of agentic and communal goals on bullying and the moderating role of prosocial strategies. The sample included 917 adolescents (M = 13.54, = 1.02) from rural, suburban, and urban areas in China. The findings revealed that higher agentic and lower communal goals were associated with a linear rise in bullying. Surprisingly, when both social goals were higher simultaneously, bullying followed an inverted U-shaped pattern. Furthermore, prosocial strategies moderated the joint effects of the two social goals. Adolescents who are more likely to use prosocial strategies do not show significant changes in bullying when both goals are at a higher level. In contrast, those who are less likely to do so show a linear rise in bullying, regardless of changes in social goals. This study improves our understanding and intervention of bullying behavior, emphasizing a non-pathological perspective.
本研究采用多项式回归和响应面分析，以探讨进取型目标和共享型目标对欺凌行为的联合影响以及亲社会策略的调节作用。样本包括来自中国农村、郊区和城市地区的917名青少年（M = 13.54， = 1.02）。研究结果显示，较高的进取型目标和较低的共享型目标与欺凌行为呈线性上升相关。令人惊讶的是，当两种社会目标同时较高时，欺凌行为呈倒U形模式。此外，亲社会策略调节了两种社会目标的联合影响。更有可能使用亲社会策略的青少年在两种目标都处于较高水平时，欺凌行为没有显著变化。相比之下，那些不太可能这样做的青少年，无论社会目标如何变化，欺凌行为都呈线性上升。本研究增进了我们对欺凌行为的理解和干预，强调了一种非病理学的视角。
