How does school bullying influence adolescent social adaptation? a serial mediation model of school connectedness and self-disclosure

These findings suggest that adolescents who engage in bullying are less likely to disclose personal information, which in turn hinders their sense of belonging at school, ultimately impairing their positive social adaptation. The results highlight the interplay between individual (self-disclosure) and environmental (school connectedness) factors in the outcomes of school bullying. Both limitations and implications are discussed in the end.
