Retrospective peer victimization reports may be inaccurate. With an ethnically and sexually diverse sample, this study compared adolescents' self-reported peer victimization in 6th grade to their own retrospective reports of 6th-grade victimization when they were in the 12th grade, controlling for past and current adjustment. Overall, 12th graders' retrospective victimization reports correlated with their own earlier 6th-grade self-reports and there was a general tendency to underreport retrospectively. Underreporters were distinguished by worse past 6th-grade adjustment, whereas overreporters were distinguished by worse current (12th-grade) adjustment. Higher current depressive symptoms and social anxiety, and lower current self-worth may be important control variables when collecting retrospective reports of victimization because current adjustment may augment participants' recollection of past experiences.
回顾性同伴受害报告可能不准确。本研究在一个具有种族和性别多样性的样本中,将青少年在 6 年级时的自我报告的同伴受害与他们在 12 年级时对 6 年级受害的回顾性报告进行了比较,同时控制了过去和现在的适应情况。总的来说,12 年级学生的回顾性受害报告与他们自己早期的 6 年级自我报告相关,并且普遍存在低估的趋势。低估者的过去 6 年级适应情况较差,而高估者的当前(12 年级)适应情况较差。当收集受害的回顾性报告时,较高的当前抑郁症状和社交焦虑,以及较低的当前自我价值感可能是重要的控制变量,因为当前的适应情况可能会增强参与者对过去经历的记忆。
