This study investigated the concurrent and longitudinal relations among children's peer victimization, empathy, and emotional symptoms. The sample consisted of 175 children (85 girls, mean age = 6.1 years) recruited from kindergartens in Switzerland and followed for 1 year (Time 2). Parents and teachers reported on the children's emotional symptoms, empathy, and victimization. Children reported their empathy and victimization experiences. Peer victimization was a predictor of emotional symptoms at Time 1; this association was stronger for children with average or high levels of empathy. Increases in peer victimization predicted increases in boys' emotional symptoms, and increases in victimization were related to decreases in empathy. The results emphasize the role of negative peer relations and children's social-emotional information processing for the development of emotional symptoms.
本研究调查了儿童同伴侵害、同理心和情绪症状之间的并发和纵向关系。样本包括来自瑞士幼儿园的 175 名儿童（85 名女孩，平均年龄=6.1 岁），并在 1 年后（时间 2）进行了随访。家长和教师报告了儿童的情绪症状、同理心和受害情况。儿童报告了他们的同理心和受害经历。同伴侵害是时间 1 时情绪症状的预测因素；对于具有中等或高水平同理心的儿童，这种关联更强。同伴侵害的增加预测了男孩情绪症状的增加，而侵害的增加与同理心的降低有关。研究结果强调了消极同伴关系和儿童社会情感信息处理在情绪症状发展中的作用。
