Abstract:
There is great value and significance to pay attention to the mental health status of children, especially those with special needs. This study examined the effects of self-confidence and campus bullying on anxiety in students, both with and without dyslexia. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 92 students in grades 3-5, half of whom had developmental dyslexia (DD). The results showed a significant positive moderating effect of self-confidence on the relationship between campus bullying and anxiety in students with DD. Specifically, the effect of campus bullying on anxiety was more pronounced in DD students with higher levels of self-confidence than in those with lower levels. For typically developing (TD) students, this moderating effect was not significant. Further analysis showed no significant differences in this moderating effect between DD and TD students. These findings highlight the need for educators and parents to closely monitor and address campus bullying and anxiety issues in students, especially in DD students with a high level of self-confidence and to implement timely interventions.
