Abstract

Abstract:

A 1.5-year follow-up longitudinal design was used to explore the patterns change of victimization and aggression from the perspective of individual attributes among 1135 Chinese middle school students. The results showed that: 1) Four distinct patterns of victimization and aggression, that is, uninvolved group, high victimization - low aggression, medium victimization - high aggression, and medium victimization - low aggression (wave 1)/ high victimization - high aggression (wave 2), were identified. There were stability and transitions among patterns of victimization and aggression. 2) Friends’ victimization and aggression had significant impacts on the changing patterns of adolescents’ victimization and aggression. Specifically, if adolescents’ friends experienced more victimization at wave 1, the probability of these adolescents transforming from the uninvolved group to the high victimization - low aggression group was higher. If Adolescents’ friends experienced more aggression at wave 1, the probability of these adolescents transforming from the uninvolved group to the medium victimization - high aggression group and high victimization - high aggression group was higher. 3) Friendship quality played different roles in the above relationships. High friendship quality strengthened the impact of friends’ victimization, while low friendship quality intensified the impact of friends’ aggression. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the diversity of patterns of change in victimization and aggression among middle school students and facilitate the development of targeted preventive intervention programs.

摘要：

以1135名初中学生为被试进行为期一年半的追踪研究，采用潜在剖面分析与潜在转变分析方法考察了受侵害与攻击的类型与转变情况，以及朋友的受侵害与攻击、友谊质量对其的影响。结果发现：(1)受侵害与攻击在两个时间点上均分为4种类型(即“未卷入组”、“高受侵害低攻击组”、“中受侵害高攻击组”和“中受侵害低攻击组”(第一个时间点)/“高受侵害高攻击组”(第二个时间点)。受侵害与攻击类型随着时间推移兼具稳定性与转变性。(2)朋友的高受侵害水平会促进初中生由“未卷入组”向“高受侵害低攻击组”转化；朋友的高攻击水平会促使初中生由“未卷入组”向“中受侵害高攻击组”和“高受侵害高攻击组”转化。(3)高友谊质量会加强朋友的受侵害水平所带来的影响，而低友谊质量会加剧朋友的攻击水平所带来的影响。研究结果有助于深化对初中生受侵害与攻击变化模式多样性的理解，有利于制定有针对性的预防干预方案。
