This study used a 2-month prospective research design to examine the bi-directional interplay between peer victimization and social anxiety among adolescents. Participants included 228 adolescents (58% female) in grades 10-12. Three types of peer victimization were examined: overt (physical aggression or verbal threats), relational (malicious manipulation of a relationship, such as by friendship withdrawal), and reputational (damaging another's peer relationships, such as through rumor spreading). Adolescents' self-reported feelings of social anxiety and peer victimization experiences were assessed at two time points, in November and January of the same school year. Peer victimization was strongly related to adolescents' social anxiety, and relational victimization explained additional unique variance. Moreover, peer victimization was both a predictor and consequence of social anxiety over time, with the most robust results found for relational victimization. Limited support was obtained for gender as a moderating variable. Findings highlight the deleterious effects of peer victimization, especially relational victimization, and suggest avenues for future research and clinical intervention for adolescents experiencing such victimization.
本研究采用为期2个月的前瞻性研究设计，以考察青少年中同伴侵害与社交焦虑之间的双向相互作用。研究对象包括228名10至12年级的青少年（58%为女性）。研究考察了三种类型的同伴侵害：公开型（身体攻击或言语威胁）、关系型（恶意操纵人际关系，如通过撤回友谊）和名誉型（破坏他人的同伴关系，如通过传播谣言）。在同一学年的11月和1月这两个时间点，评估了青少年自我报告的社交焦虑感受和同伴侵害经历。同伴侵害与青少年的社交焦虑密切相关，关系型侵害解释了额外的独特变异。此外，随着时间的推移，同伴侵害既是社交焦虑的预测因素，也是社交焦虑的后果，关系型侵害的结果最为显著。作为调节变量的性别仅获得了有限的支持。研究结果突出了同伴侵害尤其是关系型侵害的有害影响，并为未来针对遭受此类侵害的青少年的研究和临床干预提供了途径。
