Bullying is found to be associated with various negative psychosocial outcomes. However, few studies have explored the association between bullying involvement and sexually-risky behaviors. Youth were recruited from three high schools, one youth church group, two community youth programs, and four public venues. Six hundred-and-thirty-eight urban African American adolescents (aged 12-22) in Chicago completed a self-report questionnaire. Major findings indicated that males were more likely than females to have sex with someone in exchange for drugs. Bullying perpetration, victimization, and perpetration-victimization were negatively associated with having sex with a condom. Older youth, and those identified as perpetrators and perpetrator-victims were more likely to have impregnated someone or been pregnant. Stress and coping framework should be considered. Bullying prevention should provide youth with several healthy coping strategies for reducing sexually-risky behaviors. Community-based and school-based violence prevention programs need to consider sexual risk outcomes associated with involvement in bullying.
研究发现,欺凌行为与各种负面的心理社会后果相关。然而,很少有研究探讨参与欺凌与性风险行为之间的关联。研究对象来自三所高中、一个青年教会团体、两个社区青年项目和四个公共场所。638名来自芝加哥的城市非裔美国青少年(年龄在12至22岁之间)完成了一份自我报告问卷。主要研究结果表明,男性比女性更有可能为了毒品与他人发生性行为。欺凌行为的实施、受欺凌以及既是欺凌者又是受害者的情况与使用避孕套发生性行为呈负相关。年龄较大的青少年,以及那些被认定为欺凌者和既是欺凌者又是受害者的人更有可能使他人怀孕或自己怀孕。应考虑压力与应对框架。预防欺凌应向青少年提供多种健康的应对策略,以减少性风险行为。基于社区和学校的暴力预防项目需要考虑与参与欺凌相关的性风险后果。
