Purpose. The goal of the article is to empirically study the psychological factors of bullying among adolescents in the school environment.Methods. The following diagnostic tools were used in the study: questionnaire method (author’s questionnaire); methods of diagnosis of acceptance of others; express diagnostics of the level of self-esteem; methods of diagnostics of indicators and forms of aggression by A. Bass and A. Darka (adaptation by A.K. Osnytskyi). The following methods were used to process empirical data: descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analyzes.Results. The authors include the level of self-esteem, aggression, hostility, and acceptance of others among the personal psychological factors and characteristics of bullying among adolescents. The study found that most adolescents have low self-esteem, average acceptance of others with a tendency to low or low, their level of aggression and hostility is equal to the average and in some cases found a high rate of aggression and hostility to others. Correlation analysis revealed a link between others’ self-esteem, self-esteem, and level of aggression. That is, low levels of acceptance of others and low self-esteem are associated with increased levels of aggression and hostility towards others, hostility towards peers, difficulties in establishing friendly relations, envy, unwillingness to work in a group, and so on. An empirical study has found that adolescents who have been involved in bullying, either as a passive observer or as bullies themselves, have the highest levels of hostility. That is why the hostility rate was chosen as a dependent variable for multiple regression analysis in the study of bullying. The results of multiple regression analysis show that adolescents’ hostility is due to low levels of acceptance of others, which is manifested in judgmental, contemptuous or critical attitude towards others, aggression, and inadequate self-esteem.Conclusions. The obtained results show that among the factors of bullying can be distinguished inadequate self-esteem, high levels of aggression, and adolescents’ hostility to their environment.Key worlds: bullying, psychological factors, adolescence, self-esteem, hostility, aggression. Мета статті полягає вемпіричному дослідженні психологічних чинників булінгу серед школярів підліткового віку у шкільному середовищі.Методи. У дослідженні використано діагностичний інструментарій: метод анкетування (авторська анкета); методику діагностики прийняття інших (шкала В. Фейя); експрес-діагностику рівня самооцінки, методику діагностики показників і форм агресії А. Басса й А. Дарки (адаптація А.К. Осницького). Для оброблення емпіричних даних було застосовано описову статистику, кореляційний та мно-жинний регресійний аналізи.Результати. До особистісних психологічних чинників та характеристик булінгу серед школярів підліткового віку автори статті відносять рівень самооцінки, агресивності, ворожості та прийняття інших. У процесі дослідження виявлено, що переважно підлітки мають низький рівень самооцінки, середній рівень прийняття інших із тенденцією до низького або ж низький, їхній рівень агресивності та ворожості дорівнює середньому показнику; в окремих випадках виявлено високий показник агресії і ворожого ставлення до оточення. За допомогою кореляційного аналізу виявлено зв’язок між показником прийняття інших, самооцінкою та рівнем агресії. Тобто низький рівень прийняття інших і низька самооцінка пов’язані зі збільшенням рівня агресії та ворожості до оточення, ворожого ставлення до однолітків, труднощів у налагодженні дружніх стосунків, заздрощів, небажання працювати у групі тощо. За результатами емпіричного дослідження визначено, що серед підлітків, які були причетні до булінгу, у ролі пасивного спостерігача або в ролі самих булерів, найвищі показники за рівнем ворожості. Саме тому показник ворожості обрано за залежну змінну для проведеннямножинного регресійного аналізуу вивченні булінгу. Результати множинного регресійного аналізу свідчать, що ворожість дітей підліткового віку зумовлюється низьким рівнем прийняття інших, що проявляється в осудливому, зневажливому або критичному ставленні до оточення, агресивністю та неадекватним рівнем самооцінки.Висновки. Отримані результати демонструють, що серед чинників виникнення булінгу можна виокремити неадекватну самооцінку, високий рівень агресивності та ворожості підлітків до свого оточення.Ключові слова:булінг, психологічні чинники, підлітковий вік, самооцінка, ворожість, агресія

The purpose of the current study was to examine the attitudes of Nigerians towards physically challenged persons. The population of the study constituted civil servants. A total of two hundred and twenty participants comprising males and females were randomly selected from the Enugu and Kogi states civil service as the research participants. Data for the study was generated using three research instruments, including the 24-item Scale of Attitude Toward Disabled Persons (SADP), The Religious commitment inventory (RCI-10), and Rosenbergs self-esteem scale (R-SES). The multiple regression analysis results showed that religious commitment significantly predicted attitude towards physically challenged persons. However, the findings also found no significant influence of self-esteem on attitude towards the physically challenged. It is recommended that more research be conducted to fully understand the determinants of attitudes towards the physically challenged in society.

A volunreer sample of 50 competitive field hockey players completed the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory at pre- and postseason and prospectively collected injury data over a 20-wk. season. Multiple regression analysis showed no relationship between scores on Self-esteem and the number of injuries, the participation time affected due to injury, and sex of players. Further multiple regression analysis showed that frequency of the more severe injuries significantly predicted scores on Self-esteem. This finding can be interpreted as evidence of the relationship between low self-esteem and injury in sport.

Recently, death anxiety, or dread of death, has been proposed as a key transdiagnostic process underlying the anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, somatic disorders, and trauma and stressor-related disorders. In fact, it has been argued that death anxiety underlies all psychopathology, and is more fundamental than perfectionism, a process which was previously considered the root of mental illness. However, there has been a paucity of research examining the relationship between death anxiety and the eating disorders, although these conditions have been found to be strongly related to perfectionism. The present study therefore aimed to examine whether death anxiety is related to disordered eating, and whether death anxiety is a better predictor of disordered eating than perfectionism. A sample of 164 participants (132 female), average age 33.55 years (SD= 15.45 years), completed an online survey comprising background questions (age, sex, diagnosed psychiatric disorder), the Eating Attitudes Test — 26 item version (EAT-26), the Almost Perfect Scale — Revised (APS-R), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Death Anxiety Scale (DAS). The findings of a hierarchical multiple regression analysis with EAT-26 as the dependent variable, age entered at Step 1, the RSES and APS-R entered at Step 2, and the DAS entered at Step 3 showed that only death anxiety and self-esteem were independent predictors of disordered eating at Step 3. A simultaneous multiple regression analysis was subsequently run with age and the APS-R alone as predictors of EAT-26 scores. This analysis showed that perfectionism was only a predictor of disordered eating when death anxiety and self-esteem were not included in the regression model. Death anxiety and self-esteem both appear to be important transdiagnostic processes.

This shows that H0 is rejected and H3 is accepted, which means that leadership (X1) and supervision (X2) jointly influence employee performance (Y).
