This study examined the relationship between racial discrimination by peers and aggression (i.e., self-reported and peer-nominated relational aggression and physical aggression) across one year through the moderation of social support from parents, friends, and teachers.
Participants were 606 Latinx adolescents from the United States (60% girls; M = 14.36, SD = 0.46). They completed self-report questionnaires on their perceived racial discrimination by peers, and self-reported and peer-nominated relational and physical aggression.
RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Racial discrimination by peers was negatively associated with social support from parents, friends, and teachers, as well as positively related to all forms of Time 2 (1 year) self-reported and peer-nominated relational aggression and physical aggression. Social support from parents, friends, and teachers were negatively related to all forms of Time 2 aggressive behaviors. Increases in social support from parents, friends, and teachers weakened the positive association between racial discrimination by peers and Time 2 self-reported and peer-nominated relational aggression, while lower levels of social support strengthened this association. There were no significant moderating effects of social support from parents, social support, and close friends found for Time 2 self-reported and peer-nominated physical aggression. These findings indicate that high social support from parents, friends, and teachers impacts Latinx adolescents reduces the impact of racial discrimination by peers on adolescents' relational aggression.
本研究通过父母、朋友和老师的社会支持的调节，考察了一年中同伴种族歧视与攻击行为（即自我报告和同伴提名的关系攻击和身体攻击）之间的关系。
参与者是来自美国的 606 名拉丁裔青少年（60%为女性；M=14.36，SD=0.46）。他们完成了关于同伴感知到的种族歧视、自我报告和同伴提名的关系和身体攻击的自我报告问卷。
同伴的种族歧视与父母、朋友和老师的社会支持呈负相关，与所有形式的第 2 时间（1 年）自我报告和同伴提名的关系攻击和身体攻击呈正相关。父母、朋友和老师的社会支持与所有形式的第 2 时间攻击行为呈负相关。父母、朋友和老师的社会支持增加，削弱了同伴种族歧视与第 2 时间自我报告和同伴提名的关系攻击之间的正相关，而社会支持水平较低则加强了这种关联。父母、社会支持和亲密朋友的社会支持对第 2 时间自我报告和同伴提名的身体攻击没有显著的调节作用。这些发现表明，来自父母、朋友和老师的高社会支持会影响拉丁裔青少年，减轻同伴种族歧视对青少年关系攻击的影响。
