Developing a Structural Equation Modeling for Prediction of Bullying Victim by Environmental Factors and Communication Skills with Psychological Crisis Intermediation

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between environmental factors and communication skills with sacrifice due to psychological crisis using structural equation modeling method.

The present study used a correlation and single-stage cluster sampling method to test the structural relationship between environmental factors and communication skills with the mediation of psychological distress and victims of bullying among 350 middle school students in Boukan city. For this purpose, the Iranian version of Moradi victimization scale (2009) and Lewinda's Depression (1995), Anxiety and Stress Scale for measuring psychological crisis, Samini's Social Support (1995), Queendom's Communication Skills (2004), and perception of the school atmosphere derived from the scale of the classroom environment of the Trickett and Moos (1973) Information gathering tools were used.

The results of the structural equation analysis showed that the conceptual model of the research with Chi-square test was 63/33 and the degree of freedom of 51 are well fitted. Psychological aesthetics, communication skills and environmental factors directly provide good predictors for the victimization of knowledge students were. Also, communication skills and environmental factors predicted indirectly by the psychological crisis of  the victim.

The results showed that, in line with the conceptual model, the dimensions of psychological crisis, communication skills and environmental factors directly and indirectly related to the victimization of students.
