Peer harassment can have serious implications for students' success and well-being, and prevention programs need to consider the school context. This study aimed to: (1) identify groups of similar schools based on their risk and protective factors and demographic characteristics and (2) examine associations between school profiles and students' bullying involvement.
Data came from 505 schools and 122,106 students who completed the 2013 Minnesota Student Survey. School-level risk and protective factors and demographic characteristics were included in a latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify profiles of schools. Multilevel logistic regression was used to assess associations between school profiles and peer harassment.
Six qualitatively different school profiles were identified. Unadjusted models showed that schools with higher levels of risk had greater odds of peer harassment. However, after controlling for student-level risk and protection, regardless of school-level risk, students in metro-area schools with a more diverse student body reported lower odds of bullying involvement.
These findings highlight the importance of the social environment into peer harassment. In addition to addressing student-level risk and protection, larger community factors and norms also need to be taken into account for developing, selecting, and implementing the most effective approaches to bullying prevention.
同伴骚扰会对学生的学业成就和幸福感产生严重影响，预防项目需要考虑学校环境。本研究旨在：（1）根据学校的风险因素、保护因素和人口统计学特征确定相似学校的类别，以及（2）研究学校概况与学生欺凌行为参与度之间的关联。
数据来自505所学校的122,106名学生，他们完成了2013年明尼苏达学生调查。学校层面的风险因素、保护因素和人口统计学特征被纳入潜在类别分析（LPA）以确定学校类别。多级逻辑回归用于评估学校类别与同伴骚扰之间的关联。
确定了六个性质不同的学校类别。未调整的模型显示，风险水平较高的学校发生同伴骚扰的几率更大。然而，在控制了学生层面的风险和保护因素后，无论学校层面的风险如何，学生群体更加多样化的大都市地区学校的学生参与欺凌行为的几率较低。
这些发现凸显了社会环境在同伴骚扰中的重要性。除了解决学生层面的风险和保护问题外，在制定、选择和实施最有效的欺凌预防方法时，还需要考虑更大范围的社区因素和规范。
