In terms of purpose, this study was applied research, and in terms of nature and method, it was a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population included all secondary school students in Educational Districts 1 and 3 of Tehran. The sample size was determined using the G*Power software. The sampling method employed in this study was systematic random sampling. The participants completed the Illinois Bullying Questionnaire, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale developed by Graeme J. Taylor and colleagues (1994), and the School Social-Emotional Climate Questionnaire developed by Karami et al. (2009). The findings indicated that the path coefficient between the school social-emotional climate and students’ alexithymia (-0.39) was negative, and 15% of the variance in students’ alexithymia was explained by the school social-emotional climate. Furthermore, there was a positive and significant path coefficient between alexithymia (0.36) and student bullying, and overall, the indirect path was statistically significant.</p> https://journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/prien/article/download/5496/9910
