This study explores the complex interplay between parental emotional warmth, social support, emotional regulation, and school bullying among students. Using a chain mediation model, we investigate how parental emotional warmth indirectly influences school bullying through the mediating roles of social support and emotional regulation. A sample of 566 students aged 10-13 participated in this study. The results indicate that parental emotional warmth significantly enhances social support, which in turn positively influences emotional regulation, thereby reducing school bullying behaviors. However, the direct effect of parental emotional warmth on school bullying was not significant. These findings highlight the importance of social support and emotional regulation as mechanisms through which parental emotional warmth affects school bullying. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of the impact of family dynamics on children's behavior and provides practical insights for developing multi-faceted interventions to prevent and reduce school bullying. Future research should employ longitudinal designs and diverse populations to further validate these findings and explore cultural variations.
本研究探讨了父母情感温暖、社会支持、情绪调节与学生校园欺凌之间复杂的相互作用。我们采用链式中介模型，研究父母情感温暖如何通过社会支持和情绪调节的中介作用间接影响校园欺凌。566名10至13岁的学生参与了本研究。结果表明，父母情感温暖显著增强社会支持，而社会支持又对情绪调节产生积极影响，从而减少校园欺凌行为。然而，父母情感温暖对校园欺凌的直接影响并不显著。这些发现凸显了社会支持和情绪调节作为父母情感温暖影响校园欺凌的机制的重要性。该研究有助于从理论上理解家庭动态对儿童行为的影响，并为制定多方面的干预措施以预防和减少校园欺凌提供了实践见解。未来的研究应采用纵向设计和不同人群，以进一步验证这些发现并探索文化差异。
