Previous research has demonstrated a strong link between peer victimization and suicidal ideation and aggression. This study examined interpersonal rejection sensitivity as a mediator of these associations.
Diagnostic interviews and assessments were administered to 80 psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents and their parents.
Interpersonal rejection sensitivity mediated the association between peer victimization and suicidal ideation as well as aggression after controlling for participant sex and mood disorder diagnosis.
Interpersonal rejection sensitivity influences the relation between peer victimization and mental health symptoms, including suicidal ideation and aggression. Assessing for and addressing heightened interpersonal rejection sensitivity among adolescents who have been victimized by peers may decrease the likelihood of negative mental health outcomes. Implications, especially for clinicians, are further discussed.
先前的研究已证明同伴欺凌与自杀意念及攻击行为之间存在紧密联系。本研究将人际拒绝敏感性作为这些关联的中介因素进行了考察。
对80名住院接受精神科治疗的青少年及其父母进行了诊断访谈和评估。
在控制了参与者的性别和情绪障碍诊断后，人际拒绝敏感性介导了同伴欺凌与自杀意念以及攻击行为之间的关联。
人际拒绝敏感性影响同伴欺凌与心理健康症状（包括自杀意念和攻击行为）之间的关系。评估并解决受同伴欺凌青少年中增强的人际拒绝敏感性，可能会降低出现负面心理健康结果的可能性。文中进一步讨论了其意义，尤其是对临床医生的意义。
