Psychological mechanisms that may explain the link between peer victimization and its adverse outcomes are still understudied. The current study aimed to apply the Self-Regulatory Executive Function (S-REF) model of psychopathology (Wells & Matthews, 1994, 1996) to help explain this link in a sample of adolescents. A total of 1,169 Italian adolescents (47.7% females; = 15.79, = 1.07) completed self-report measures of peer victimization, metacognitions, thinking styles (worry and rumination), and adjustment indices (somatic symptoms, anxiety, depression). The hypothesized model based on the S-REF model was tested through path analysis. Results confirmed that peer victimization was positively associated with both positive and negative metacognitions that, in turn, were linked to worry and rumination, which were associated with higher psychological and somatic problems. The strongest indirect links were found between peer victimization and anxiety via negative metacognitions and worry, and between victimization and depression via negative metacognitions and rumination. Overall, the results support to the application of the S-REF model to peer victimization experiences during adolescence. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
可能解释同伴侵害与其不良后果之间联系的心理机制仍未得到充分研究。本研究旨在应用精神病理学的自我调节执行功能（S-REF）模型（Wells & Matthews，1994年，1996年）来帮助解释青少年样本中的这种联系。共有1169名意大利青少年（47.7%为女性；平均年龄 = 15.79岁，标准差 = 1.07）完成了同伴侵害、元认知、思维方式（担忧和沉思）以及适应指标（躯体症状、焦虑、抑郁）的自我报告测量。基于S-REF模型的假设模型通过路径分析进行了检验。结果证实，同伴侵害与积极和消极元认知均呈正相关，而积极和消极元认知又与担忧和沉思相关联，担忧和沉思与更高的心理和躯体问题相关。在同伴侵害与焦虑之间，通过消极元认知和担忧发现了最强的间接联系；在侵害与抑郁之间，通过消极元认知和沉思发现了最强的间接联系。总体而言，研究结果支持将S-REF模型应用于青少年时期的同伴侵害经历。讨论了这些发现的临床意义。
