The impact of stress on psychological adjustment may be mediated by cognitive interpretations (i.e., appraisals) of events for individuals. Defining characteristics of loneliness suggest that appraisals of blame, threat, and perceived control may be particularly important in this domain.
To evaluate the extent to which cognitive appraisals (perceived control, threat, and blame) can mediate the effect of peer victimization on loneliness.
One hundred and ten children (54 boys, 56 girls) aged 8-12 years attending mainstream schools in Scotland.
Self-report measures of peer victimization, appraisal, and loneliness.
Perceived control partially mediated the effects of peer victimization on loneliness, but neither blame nor threat were mediators. All three measures of control were significantly associated with loneliness at the bivariate level, but only perceived control was significant when the appraisals were entered as predictors in a hierarchical multiple linear regression.
The results highlight the importance of research designs assessing multiple categories of appraisal. Furthermore, they suggest that intervention efforts aiming to combat feelings of loneliness within a peer victimization context should address children's appraisals of perceived control.
对于个体来说，压力对心理适应的影响可能是通过对事件的认知解释（即评价）来介导的。孤独感的定义特征表明，责备、威胁和感知控制的评价在这一领域可能尤为重要。
评估认知评价（感知控制、威胁和责备）在多大程度上可以调节同伴侵害对孤独感的影响。
110 名年龄在 8 至 12 岁之间的儿童（54 名男孩，56 名女孩），他们在苏格兰的主流学校就读。
自我报告的同伴侵害、评价和孤独感测量。
感知控制部分中介了同伴侵害对孤独感的影响，但责备和威胁都不是中介。在双变量水平上，所有三种控制措施都与孤独感显著相关，但只有在将评价作为分层多元线性回归中的预测因子输入时，感知控制才具有显著意义。
研究结果强调了评估多种评价类别的研究设计的重要性。此外，它们表明，在同伴侵害背景下，旨在消除孤独感的干预措施应针对儿童对感知控制的评价。
