Predicting Adolescent Bullying Victimization based on Attachment to Parents and Peers, and Self-Compassion with the Mediating Role of Problem Solving

The study was carried out to predict the bullying victimization of adolescents based on attachment to parents and peers and self-compassion with the mediating role of problem solving in junior high school students of Tehran in the academic year 2020-2021. Purposive sampling was used to select 320 students in a crosssectional correlational design with the help of Klein's formula. The data collected from 312 questionnaires was analyzed in SPSS 19 and PLS 3. Path analysis results indicated that 88.7% of the changes in the victims of bullying are caused by the changes in attachment and self-compassion, and all the variables (except attachment to father) have a significant effect on the victim of bullying. According to the results, problem solving has a mediating role in the relationship between adolescent bullying victims and types of attachment, and self-compassion.
