The current longitudinal study was designed to examine one of the possible underlying mechanisms that can help account for why low gender typicality (i.e., not feeling like a typical boy or girl) is related to subsequent psychosocial adjustment problems: peer victimization. Relying on a large (N = 5,991, 52% female), ethnically diverse U.S. sample, the results suggested that peer victimization at 7th grade partially accounts for associations between 7th grade gender typicality and 8th grade social anxiety, somatic complaints, and externalizing behavior, when controlling for earlier (e.g., 6th grade) levels of adjustment. Associations were similar across ethnic groups. Peer victimization mediated associations for boys and girls across all outcomes; however, girls showed stronger associations with somatic complaints and boys showed stronger associations with externalizing behavior. These results suggest that attempts to improve adjustment for youth feeling low gender typicality should focus in part on reducing peer victimization.
当前的纵向研究旨在探讨一种可能的潜在机制，该机制有助于解释为何低性别典型性（即感觉不像典型的男孩或女孩）与随后的心理社会适应问题相关：同伴侵害。基于一个规模较大（N = 5991，52%为女性）、种族多样的美国样本，研究结果表明，在控制早期（如六年级）的适应水平后，七年级时的同伴侵害在一定程度上解释了七年级性别典型性与八年级社交焦虑、躯体不适及外化行为之间的关联。不同种族群体间的关联相似。同伴侵害在所有结果中均介导了男孩和女孩的关联；然而，女孩与躯体不适的关联更强，男孩与外化行为的关联更强。这些结果表明，对于感觉性别典型性较低的青少年，改善其适应状况的努力应部分聚焦于减少同伴侵害。
