The current study demonstrated that chronic peer victimization, as compared to time-limited victimization, is particularly associated with peer status and peer-reported adjustment at the adolescent transition. Using a cohort sequential design, a sample of 653 adolescents (48% female, 87% Caucasian) in Grades 6-8 were assessed at 3 annual time points; data captured indices of peer victimization, likeability, popularity, and several peer-reported indices of internalizing (e.g., sadness, worry) and externalizing (e.g., anger, fighting) symptoms across Grades 6-10. Four trajectories of victimization experiences were identified-chronic, high decreasing, low increasing, and low stable-suggesting instability in victimization experiences over time. Adolescents who experienced chronic victimization, as compared to those with low-stable, decreasing, or increasing levels of victimization, were rated by peers more often on indices of maladjustment and less often on measures of popularity and likeability. Findings highlight negative associations with chronic victimization and underscore the need for targeted interventions to prevent chronic victimization. Overall, findings further emphasize the role of chronicity in victimization and highlight the importance of identifying chronic victims for intervention and prevention efforts.
本研究表明，与限时受害相比，慢性同伴受害尤其与青少年过渡期的同伴地位和同伴报告的适应有关。采用队列序贯设计，对 6-8 年级的 653 名青少年（48%为女性，87%为白种人）进行了 3 次年度评估；数据捕获了同伴受害、可爱、受欢迎和几个同伴报告的内化（如悲伤、担忧）和外化（如愤怒、打架）症状的指数在 6-10 年级之间。确定了四种受害经历轨迹——慢性、高下降、低上升和低稳定——表明随着时间的推移，受害经历不稳定。与低稳定、下降或上升水平的受害相比，经历慢性受害的青少年往往在适应不良指数上得到同伴更多的评价，而在受欢迎和可爱程度上得到的评价则较少。研究结果强调了与慢性受害的负面关联，并强调需要有针对性的干预措施来预防慢性受害。总的来说，研究结果进一步强调了受害的慢性特征，并强调了确定慢性受害人为干预和预防工作的重要性。
