| Abstract: | This study used latent class analysis to explore the diverse nature of school bullying, the adverse psychological effects, and the efficacy of coping strategies performed by the targets who experienced various types of bullying. Of the Japanese students, 39,167 (19,167 girls) from fourth to ninth grade participated in our study. The findings revealed a five-class structure of school bullying and demonstrated its different correlations with depression and the efficacy of coping strategies. Most of the targets of severe school bullying were at a high risk of developing a depressive disorder and losing their will to resist, while the others who attempted to cope achieved little success. In addition, this study also found a preference for using specific coping strategies for different types of school bullying. These results demonstrated a critical situation for Japanese students and re-emphasized the urgency of early intervention for school bullying. |
