This study explored the victimization experiences of urban elementary school students to determine whether subsets of youth emerged with similar victimization profiles (e.g., no victimization, multiple types of victimization). It also evaluated whether multiple victimization was associated with greater psychological distress and lower academic performance.
Participants were 689 fifth grade students from an urban, ethnically diverse school district in the Northeast. Youth completed self-report measures in school about bullying victimization, victimization in the home and community, and psychosocial functioning.
Cluster analysis suggested the existence of three distinct youth profiles: those with minimal victimization, those victimized primarily by their peers, and those with multiple types of victimizations. As hypothesized, youth with multiple victimizations experienced more psychological distress and earned lower grades than their peers.
Findings highlight the heterogeneity of youth victimization experiences and their relations to functioning, and have implications for treatment planning among practitioners working with youth.
本研究探讨了城市小学生的受害经历，以确定是否出现了具有相似受害特征的青少年亚群体（例如，未遭受受害、遭受多种类型的受害）。研究还评估了多重受害是否与更大的心理困扰和更低的学业成绩相关。
参与者是来自东北部一个种族多样的城市学区的689名五年级学生。青少年在学校完成了关于欺凌受害、家庭和社区受害以及心理社会功能的自我报告测量。
聚类分析表明存在三种不同的青少年特征：受害程度最小的青少年、主要受同龄人侵害的青少年以及遭受多种类型侵害的青少年。正如所假设的那样，遭受多重侵害的青少年比同龄人经历了更多的心理困扰，成绩也更低。
研究结果突出了青少年受害经历的异质性及其与功能的关系，并对从事青少年工作的从业者的治疗计划具有启示意义。
