Despite increased research on bullying over the past few decades, researchers still have little understanding of how bullying differentially affects racial and ethnic minority and immigrant youth. To facilitate efforts to better evaluate the impact of bullying among racial and ethnic minority youth and improve interventions, we integrated research from multiple disciplines and conducted a systematic search to review relevant cross-cultural research on the prevalence of bullying, risk and protective factors, and differences in behaviors and outcomes associated with bullying in these populations. Studies measuring differences in bullying prevalence by racial and ethnic groups are inconclusive, and discrepancies in findings may be explained by differences in how bullying is measured and the impact of school and social environments. Racial and ethnic minorities and immigrants are disproportionately affected by contextual-level risk factors associated with bullying (e.g., adverse community, home, and school environments), which may moderate the effects of individual-level predictors of bullying victimization or perpetration (e.g., depressive symptoms, empathy, hostility, etc.) on involvement and outcomes. Minority youth may be more likely to perpetrate bullying, and are at much higher risk for poor health and behavioral outcomes as a result of bias-based bullying. At the same time, racial and ethnic minorities and immigrants may be protected against bullying involvement and its negative consequences as a result of strong ethnic identity, positive cultural and family values, and other resilience factors. Considering these findings, we evaluate existing bullying interventions and prevention programs and propose directions for future research.
尽管在过去几十年里对欺凌行为的研究有所增加,但研究人员对欺凌行为如何对少数族裔和移民青少年产生不同影响仍知之甚少。为了更好地评估欺凌行为对少数族裔青少年的影响并改进干预措施,我们整合了多学科研究,并进行了系统的检索,以回顾有关欺凌行为的发生率、风险和保护因素,以及这些人群中与欺凌行为相关的行为和结果差异的相关跨文化研究。按种族和族裔群体衡量欺凌行为发生率差异的研究尚无定论,研究结果的差异可能是由于欺凌行为的测量方式不同以及学校和社会环境的影响。少数族裔和移民受与欺凌行为相关的背景层面风险因素(如不良社区、家庭和学校环境)的影响尤为严重,这些因素可能会缓和欺凌受害或实施的个体层面预测因素(如抑郁症状、同理心、敌意等)对参与情况和结果的影响。少数族裔青少年可能更有可能实施欺凌行为,并且由于基于偏见的欺凌行为,他们健康状况不佳和出现行为问题的风险要高得多。与此同时,少数族裔和移民可能由于强烈的种族认同感、积极的文化和家庭价值观以及其他复原力因素而免受欺凌行为及其负面后果的影响。考虑到这些研究结果,我们评估了现有的欺凌干预和预防项目,并提出了未来研究的方向。
