FEATURED CNP RESEARCH SUMMARY
Although bullying is known to negatively affect the victims’ quality of life and psychological health, Albaladejo-Blázquez et al. (2018) comment that studies have not yet investigated the effects of bullying on dietary habits, nor its relationship with psychological outcomes (such as depression). Thus, the objective of this present study was to determine if bullying, dietary habits, and depression are interrelated in a sample of Spanish adolescents. The results did demonstrate a link between victimization and less healthy eating habits and increased risk of depression. Dietary habits were also found to moderate the relationship between bullying and depression. In conclusion, diet seems to be highly relevant to bullying, particularly in victims. It is believed to possibly be connected with the high levels of depression experienced by bully victims. Therefore, intervention programs may want to tailor their approach when supporting bully victims to increase their chances of helping them manage their depression.
