To examine the relationship between peer victimization and child and parent reports of psychosocial adjustment and physical activity in a clinical sample of at-risk-for-overweight and overweight children and adolescents.
The Schwartz Peer Victimization Scale, Children's Depression Inventory-Short Form, Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, Social Physique Anxiety Scale, PACE+ Adolescent Physical Activity Measure, and Asher Loneliness Scale were administered to 92 children and adolescents (54 females) aged 8-18 years. The youth's parent/guardian completed the Child Behavior Checklist.
Peer victimization was positively related to child-reported depression, anxiety, social physique anxiety, and loneliness, and parent-reported internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Peer victimization was negatively related to physical activity. Depressive symptoms and loneliness mediated the relations between peer victimization and physical activity.
Recognition of the magnitude of the problem and the means of evaluating for peer victimization is important for clinicians who work with overweight youth. Assessing peer experiences may assist in understanding rates of physical activity and/or past nonadherence to clinician recommendations.
在超重及有超重风险的儿童和青少年临床样本中，研究同伴侵害与儿童及家长报告的心理社会适应及身体活动之间的关系。
对92名8至18岁的儿童和青少年（54名女性）施测施瓦茨同伴侵害量表、儿童抑郁量表简版、儿童多维焦虑量表、社交体型焦虑量表、PACE+青少年身体活动测量量表及阿舍尔孤独量表。青少年的家长/监护人完成儿童行为检查表。
同伴侵害与儿童报告的抑郁、焦虑、社交体型焦虑及孤独呈正相关，与家长报告的内化和外化症状呈正相关。同伴侵害与身体活动呈负相关。抑郁症状和孤独在同伴侵害与身体活动之间起中介作用。
对于治疗超重青少年的临床医生而言，认识到该问题的严重程度以及评估同伴侵害的方法很重要。评估同伴经历可能有助于理解身体活动水平和/或过去不遵循临床医生建议的情况。
