Victimization during school years can have detrimental effects on individuals' adjustment, lasting even into adulthood. In the current study, we examine whether there is an indirect effect of victimization on adult depression and aggression, via sad and angry rumination about past victimization. Participants included 1,319 Finnish individuals (59.5% identified as women; 97.4 native Finns) who were followed from adolescence into adulthood ( = 25.78, = 1.35). Victimization was indirectly associated with adult depression and aggression, through sad and angry ruminations, respectively. The findings suggest that intervention efforts targeting rumination could help victimized individuals avoid lasting ill effects from their experiences.

受欺凌经历对个体的适应会产生负面影响,甚至会持续到成年期。在本研究中,我们通过对过去受欺凌经历的悲伤和愤怒反刍,检验受欺凌经历对成年期抑郁和攻击行为的间接影响。参与者包括 1319 名芬兰人(59.5%为女性;97.4%为芬兰本地人),他们从青春期一直随访到成年期( = 25.78, = 1.35)。受欺凌经历通过悲伤和愤怒的反刍分别与成年期的抑郁和攻击行为呈间接相关。研究结果表明,针对反刍的干预措施可能有助于受欺凌的个体避免其经历带来的持久不良影响。
