African American youth living in low-resourced communities are at high risk for bullying victimization which is positively associated with suicidal ideation. This study explored whether positive future orientation mediated the relationship between bullying victimization and suicidal ideation. This study engaged 627 African American adolescents and measured bullying victimization, internalizing problems, suicidal ideation, future orientation, and several covariates. Major findings indicated that controlling for gender, socioeconomic status, school motivation, and perceived teacher support, internalizing problems mediated the relationship between bullying victimization and suicidal ideation. Furthermore, both the effect of bullying victimization on suicidal ideation and the mediating effect of internalizing problems were moderated by future orientation. The effects were weakened when the level of future orientation increased. The implications for future research and supporting resiliency are discussed based on these findings.
生活在资源匮乏社区的非裔美国青少年遭受欺凌的风险很高，而这与自杀意念呈正相关。本研究探讨了积极的未来取向是否介导了欺凌受害与自杀意念之间的关系。本研究招募了627名非裔美国青少年，并测量了欺凌受害、内化问题、自杀意念、未来取向以及几个协变量。主要研究结果表明，在控制了性别、社会经济地位、学校动机和教师支持感知后，内化问题介导了欺凌受害与自杀意念之间的关系。此外，欺凌受害对自杀意念的影响以及内化问题的中介作用都受到未来取向的调节。当未来取向水平提高时，这些影响会减弱。基于这些发现，讨论了对未来研究和支持复原力的启示。
