Peer victimization is a known risk factor for various forms of maladjustment; however, the specific type of maladjustment may depend on individual differences in youth. This 2-wave longitudinal study examined the hypothesis that social approach-avoidance motivation, together with sex, would moderate the contribution of 3rd-grade victimization to 4th-grade maladjustment. Children (N = 574, M age = 8.94, SD = 0.37) reported on their victimization exposure, social approach-avoidance motivation, and depressive symptoms. Teachers reported on students' victimization exposure and aggressive behavior. Victimization predicted aggressive behavior only in boys with moderate to high approach motivation; victimization predicted depressive symptoms only in girls with moderate to high avoidance motivation. This research elucidates the diverse consequences associated with peer victimization and informs efforts to address these consequences in a targeted manner.
同伴侵害是各种适应不良形式的已知风险因素；然而，具体的适应不良类型可能取决于青少年的个体差异。这项两阶段纵向研究检验了以下假设：社交趋近-回避动机与性别共同作用，会调节三年级时的受侵害经历对四年级适应不良的影响。儿童（N = 574，年龄M = 8.94，标准差SD = 0.37）报告了他们遭受侵害的经历、社交趋近-回避动机和抑郁症状。教师报告了学生遭受侵害的经历和攻击行为。只有在趋近动机中等至高的男孩中，受侵害经历才会预测攻击行为；只有在回避动机中等至高的女孩中，受侵害经历才会预测抑郁症状。这项研究阐明了与同伴侵害相关的各种后果，并为有针对性地应对这些后果的努力提供了信息。
