Abstract

Objective: The study aims to investigate the impact of experiential avoidance and sleep quality on bullying victimization in school and suicidal ideation among adolescents.
Methods: The study recruited 767 middle school students to complete the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation.
Results: There were significant positive correlations between bullying victimization in school and experiential avoidance, sleep quality, or suicidal ideation. Bullying victimization in school can influence adolescent suicidal ideation through a mediating chain of experiential avoidance, sleep quality, experiential avoidance and sleep quality, with the mediating effects accounting for 27.707%, 13.535%, and 17.070% of the total effect, respectively.
Conclusion: There are multiple mediating effects of experiential avoidance and sleep quality between bullying victimization in school and adolescents' suicidal ideation, and reducing the level of bullying victimization in school can act on experiential avoidance and sleep quality, which in turn affects adolescents' suicidal ideation. This has some practical implications for helping adolescents grow up healthily and preventing and reducing suicidal behaviors.
