Expect the unexpected: A study on the relation between bullying victimization and hostile attribution bias, and the mediating roles of positive parenting and alexithymia.

Master thesis | Psychology (MSc)

The relation between bullying victimization and hostile attribution bias (HAB) and the possible mediation of positive parenting and alexithymia were examined in the current study with a sample of 44 middle school children. The used data was obtained through the SCARS study, a cross-sectional study that conducted both fMRI and survey measures for neural activity and behaviour in relation to bullying victimization. The current study solely uses the survey data obtained through both child and parent report. Findings suggest that the expected relations do not exist, although indications that bullying victimization and HAB are associated are described. Further research on this relation is advised.
