To explore psychological health and behaviors indicative of direct, indirect and coercive bullying in a sample of adolescent offenders.
One hundred two juvenile (aged 15-17 years) and 100 young (aged 18-21 years) offenders took part. All completed the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and a revised version of the Direct and Indirect Prisoner behaviour Checklist (DIPC-R). Offenders were classified into one of four categories: "pure bullies" (solely reporting behaviors indicative of bullying others); "bully/victims" (reporting behaviors indicative of bullying others and of being bullied); "pure victims" (only reporting "victim" behaviors); "not-involved" (not reporting any "bully" or "victim" behaviors). The data was analyzed using Kuder-Richardson-20, LOGIT Analysis, ANOVA, MANOVA, and correlations.
Juveniles reported perpetrating and experiencing more bullying behavior than young offenders. Pure victims and bully/victims reported more symptoms associated with somatic concerns, severe depression, anxiety and insomnia in comparison with pure bullies and those not involved. Bully/victims reported more somatic symptoms and pure victims more social dysfunction. The psychological health profiles of pure bullies and those not involved were broadly similar. Indirect, direct and coercive victimization all correlated positively with psychological health.
The current study provides evidence for an association between self-reported psychological health and direct, indirect and coercive bullying behavior among an incarcerated adolescent sample. It also highlights the importance of viewing the "bully/victim" group as a victim group.
探讨青少年罪犯样本中与直接、间接和胁迫性欺凌行为相关的心理健康及行为表现。
102名青少年(15 - 17岁)和100名青年(18 - 21岁)罪犯参与了研究。所有人都完成了一般健康问卷(GHQ - 28)以及直接和间接囚犯行为检查表修订版(DIPC - R)。罪犯被分为四类之一:“纯粹欺凌者”(仅报告表明欺凌他人的行为);“欺凌者/受害者”(报告表明欺凌他人和被欺凌的行为);“纯粹受害者”(仅报告“受害者”行为);“未涉及者”(未报告任何“欺凌者”或“受害者”行为)。使用库德 - 理查森 - 20公式、逻辑分析、方差分析、多变量方差分析和相关性分析对数据进行分析。
青少年报告实施和经历的欺凌行为比青年罪犯更多。与纯粹欺凌者和未涉及者相比,纯粹受害者和欺凌者/受害者报告了更多与躯体问题、严重抑郁、焦虑和失眠相关的症状。欺凌者/受害者报告更多躯体症状,纯粹受害者报告更多社交功能障碍。纯粹欺凌者和未涉及者的心理健康状况大致相似。间接、直接和胁迫性受害经历均与心理健康呈正相关。
本研究为被监禁青少年样本中自我报告的心理健康与直接、间接和胁迫性欺凌行为之间的关联提供了证据。它还强调了将“欺凌者/受害者”群体视为受害者群体的重要性。
