Abstract
Verbal bullying is a prevalent issue among adolescents, with significant implications for their emotional well-being. This research aims to explore the correlation between verbal bullying, emotion regulation, and forgiveness among high school students in Singkawang. The research used quantitative methods and involved 669 students at a high school, consisting of students aged 15 to 18 years in Singkawang, Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia. The measurement tools employed were the Multidimensional Peer-Victimization Scale (MPVS) for verbal bullying, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) for emotion regulation, and the Transgression Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory (TRIM-18) for forgiveness. A Spearman correlation analysis was conducted due to non-normally distributed data. The results reveal no meaningful relationship between verbal bullying and emotion regulation with r = 0.078 and p < 0.05, as the correlation coefficient is very close to zero despite reaching statistical significance. However, a negative correlation was found between verbal bullying and forgiveness with r = - 0.193 and p < 0.01, suggesting that students who experience more verbal bullying tend to exhibit lower forgiveness. Additionally, no significant correlation was found between emotion regulation and forgiveness with r = - 0.031 and p = 0.431. These findings highlight the complex dynamics between bullying, emotional coping mechanisms, and forgiveness among victims, emphasizing the need for interventions that address emotional regulation and forgiveness skills to support victims of bullying. Further research is recommended to explore potential mediating factors that could explain the relationships between these variables.
