This research examined the development of stress responses across second to sixth grades and whether exposure to peer victimization alters stress response trajectories. Youth (338 girls; 298 boys; M = 7.97 years, SD = .37) reported on stress responses; teachers and youth reported on peer victimization. Latent growth curve modeling revealed an increase in effortful engagement responses and a decrease in disengagement and involuntary engagement responses during this period. Peer victimization disrupted these normative trajectories, resulting in less effortful engagement and more effortful disengagement and involuntary stress responses in early adolescence. These findings suggest that early peer victimization sensitizes youth to stress by interfering with the development of effective coping and fostering maladaptive stress responses.
本研究考察了二年级至六年级学生应激反应的发展情况，以及遭受同伴欺凌是否会改变应激反应轨迹。青少年（338名女孩；298名男孩；平均年龄M = 7.97岁，标准差SD = 0.37）报告了他们的应激反应；教师和青少年报告了同伴欺凌情况。潜在增长曲线模型显示，在此期间，努力参与反应增加，而脱离接触和非自愿参与反应减少。同伴欺凌扰乱了这些正常轨迹，导致青少年早期努力参与减少，更多地努力脱离接触和出现非自愿应激反应。这些发现表明，早期的同伴欺凌通过干扰有效应对方式的发展和助长适应不良的应激反应，使青少年对应激更加敏感。
