ABSTRACT

This study examined how anxious rejection sensitivity and need to belong mediate the relationship between parent-child conflicts and conformative behaviors in bullying situations. For this research, we collected the self-report data of 335 elementary school students (boys: 177, girls: 158) in Seoul and Gimpo. Data were analyzed by gender, using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that parent-child conflicts influenced anxious rejection sensitivity and need to belong, which consequently contributed to conformative behaviors only among girls. The mediating effect of need to belong was non-significant regardless of gender. This study suggests the importance of gender-specific approaches to reduce conformative behaviors in bullying situations. Based on these findings, effective prevention/intervention strategies were discussed.
