Feelings of rejection and humiliation in interpersonal interaction are strongly related to aggressive behavior. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between social status, shaming experiences, gender and adolescent aggressive behavior by using a status-shaming model. A population-based sample of 5,396 adolescents aged from 15 to 18 completed a questionnaire that asked questions regarding psychosocial background, shaming experiences, social status of family, peer group and school and involvement in physical or verbal aggression at school. Shaming experiences, i.e. being ridiculed or humiliated by others, were strongly related to aggressive behavior. Social status and shaming were related in the prediction of aggressive behavior, suggesting that a person's social status may influence the risk for taking aggressive action when subjected to shaming experiences. Medium social status seemed to have a protective function in the association between shaming experiences and aggression. This study confirms the importance of further evaluation of the role of perceived social status and shaming experiences in the understanding of aggressive behavior. Moreover, the results indicate the need for different kinds of status measures when investigating the associations between status and behavior in adolescent populations. The results may have important implications for the prevention of bullying at school as well as other deviant aggressive behavior among adolescents.
人际交往中的被排斥感和羞辱感与攻击行为密切相关。本研究的目的是通过使用地位羞辱模型来调查社会地位、羞辱经历、性别与青少年攻击行为之间的关联。一项基于人群的研究，对5396名年龄在15至18岁之间的青少年进行了调查，他们完成了一份问卷，问卷内容涉及心理社会背景、羞辱经历、家庭、同龄人群体和学校的社会地位以及在学校参与身体攻击或言语攻击的情况。羞辱经历，即被他人嘲笑或羞辱，与攻击行为密切相关。社会地位和羞辱在攻击行为的预测中存在关联，这表明当一个人遭受羞辱经历时，其社会地位可能会影响采取攻击行为的风险。中等社会地位似乎在羞辱经历与攻击行为的关联中具有保护作用。本研究证实了进一步评估感知到的社会地位和羞辱经历在理解攻击行为中的作用的重要性。此外，研究结果表明，在调查青少年群体中社会地位与行为之间的关联时，需要采用不同类型的地位测量方法。这些结果可能对预防校园欺凌以及青少年中的其他异常攻击行为具有重要意义。
