This study used a sample of 551 children surveyed yearly from ages 6 to 13 to examine the longitudinal associations among early behavior, middle-childhood peer rejection and friendedness, and early-adolescent depressive symptoms, loneliness, and delinquency. The study tested a sequential mediation hypothesis in which (a) behavior problems in the early school years are associated with middle-childhood peer rejection and (b) rejection, in turn, leads to lower friendedness and subsequently higher adolescent internalizing--but not externalizing--problems. Results supported this sequential mediation model for internalizing outcomes and revealed an additional path from early disruptiveness to loneliness via peer rejection alone. No evidence of sequential mediation was observed for delinquency.
本研究对551名儿童进行了抽样，从他们6岁到13岁每年进行调查，以检验早期行为、童年中期同伴拒绝与受欢迎程度，以及青少年早期抑郁症状、孤独感和犯罪行为之间的纵向关联。该研究检验了一个顺序中介假设，即：（a）早年的行为问题与童年中期的同伴拒绝有关，以及（b）同伴拒绝反过来会导致受欢迎程度降低，进而导致青少年内化问题增加——但外化问题不会增加。研究结果支持了内化结果的这一顺序中介模型，并揭示了一条从早期破坏行为单独通过同伴拒绝到孤独感的额外路径。未观察到犯罪行为存在顺序中介的证据。
