Abstract: To examine the effect of family functioning and parenting style on the mechanism of bullying in junior middle school students, 429 junior high school students were assessed with the Family Cohesion and Adaptability of Scale-Chinese Version, the s-EMBU, and the Olweus Bully Questionnaire. The results showed that family functioning and parental rejection negatively predicted bullying respectively, that parental rejection mediated the relationship between family functioning and bullying, and that the latter half path of the mediating effect of "family function → parental rejection → bullying" was moderated by gender. More specifically, this mediating effect was only observed in male students.

Key words: family functioning, parenting style, bullying, junior middle school students, gender
