Building a friendship with peers is an important developmental task. However, peer victimization and social anxiety are among the most disturbing problems and have impaired adolescents' adaptive development. A total of 942 adolescents completed the survey. The results showed that peer victimization was related to social anxiety and that this effect was mediated by cognitive flexibility and moderated by affect intensity. Specifically, the damage of peer victimization and social anxiety was aggrevated for those with high levels of affect intensity. The current study provides evidence for the association between peer victimization and social anxiety. It contributes to the literature by clarifying the equivocal findings and uncovering the underlying mechanisms of the relationship between peer victimization and social anxiety. In the future, researchers and teachers should pay attention to adolescents' peer social status as early as possible, especially for adolescents with higher levels of affect intensity.
与同龄人建立友谊是一项重要的发展任务。然而,同伴受害和社交焦虑是最令人困扰的问题之一,已经损害了青少年的适应性发展。共有942名青少年完成了调查。结果表明,同伴受害与社交焦虑有关,并且这种影响是由认知灵活性介导的,并受情感强度调节。具体而言,对于情感强度较高的人来说,同伴受害和社交焦虑的损害更为严重。当前的研究为同伴受害与社交焦虑之间的关联提供了证据。它通过澄清模棱两可的研究结果并揭示同伴受害与社交焦虑之间关系的潜在机制,为该文献做出了贡献。未来,研究人员和教师应尽早关注青少年的同伴社会地位,尤其是对于情感强度较高的青少年。
