Abstract

The aim of the present study is to delve into the mediating role of the mentalization and emotion regulation ability in relation to interparental conflict and bullying. The sample was comprised of 385 Spanish students aged between 12 and 17 years old (M=13.94; D.T.=1.80). The results obtained through Process made it possible to confirm how interparental conflict is indirectly associated with bullying through multiple mediation among the hypomentalization and emotion dysregulation variables, while the mediating effect of the latter was more notable. These results were mainly found with regard to victimization behaviors as well as for the total score of the bullying instrument. These results highlight the preventive role that the approach of mentalization and emotion regulation may have in the incidence of bullying in the interparental conflict context.
