A study conducted by researchers from the University of Texas Arlington explores the relationship between past bullying victimization and depressive symptoms in college students. The study, which included 362 participants from colleges in the South Central and Midwest regions of the United States, found that past bullying experiences were positively associated with later-life depression, partially mediated by lowered self-esteem. The research suggests that a moderate or low level of parental monitoring, combined with high family support, can buffer the negative impact of past bullying victimization on college students' mental health. However, excessive parental monitoring without adequate family support may increase depression among college students who have experienced bullying. [Extracted from the article]
