ABSTRACT: School bullying has emerged as a pervasive global issue with profound impacts on adolescent mental health and social development. Utilizing CiteSpace-based bibliometric analysis, this study systematically examines 449 peer-reviewed articles on school bullying published in China (2010-2024). Key findings include: 1) An upward trajectory in publication output, with significant growth post-2017; 2) Identified research hotspots through co-occurrence analysis, with “school climate” and “bullying prevention” as dominant themes; 3) A temporal shift in focus from legal frameworks to victim-centered interventions. The study underscores the need for cross-disciplinary approaches to develop evidence-based anti-bullying strategies in educational settings.
