The relation between peer victimization and depressive symptoms is complex, requiring the use of methodologically rigorous designs to examine these relations and potential mediating factors. The current study used a random intercepts cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) to investigate both between-person and within-person associations in peer victimization, depressive symptoms, and family cohesion across five waves in a sample of adolescents ( = 801, ages 13-15 years at recruitment) in the Northeast. We also investigated the moderating effects of sex and victimization status (i.e., bullying victimization vs. peer victimization). Overall, findings revealed a reciprocal relation between peer victimization and depressive symptoms for females, but no relation for males. A reciprocal relation between peer victimization and family cohesion was found for males. No significant differences were found by victimization status. Future research on peer victimization and associated outcomes and the role of family should account for both between-person and within-person variance.
同伴侵害与抑郁症状之间的关系较为复杂，需要采用严谨的方法设计来检验这些关系和潜在的中介因素。本研究使用随机截距交叉滞后面板模型（RI-CLPM），在东北的一个青少年样本（n=801，招募时年龄为 13-15 岁）中，在五个时间点上，调查了同伴侵害、抑郁症状和家庭凝聚力在个体间和个体内的关联，同时还调查了性别和受害情况（即欺凌受害与同伴受害）的调节作用。总的来说，研究结果表明，女性的同伴侵害与抑郁症状之间存在相互关系，但男性没有这种关系。对于男性，同伴侵害与家庭凝聚力之间也存在相互关系。受害情况没有显著差异。未来关于同伴侵害及相关结果和家庭作用的研究，应该考虑个体间和个体内的差异。
