There is a robust association between friendship quality and victimization in adolescence; yet, it remains unclear whether friendship quality may be linked causally with different forms of victimization in middle adolescence. To fill this gap, this study examines the bidirectional associations of friendship quality and relational/verbal victimization with data collected at two time points, 6 months apart, in a sample of 671 middle Chinese adolescents ( = 15.63, = 0.73, 49% males). Cross-lagged panel analyses revealed a two-way relationship between friendship quality and victimization, which existed in both verbal and relational victimization. Multi-group panel analyses observed that the cross-lagged associations between friendship quality and relational/verbal victimization were only found for males, but not for females. This result suggests that adolescent males' victimization is both affected by and a predictor of friendship quality, with implications for youth prevention programs.
友谊质量与青少年受侵害之间存在密切关联；然而，目前尚不清楚友谊质量是否可能与青少年中期的不同形式受侵害存在因果关系。为弥补这一空白，本研究利用 671 名中国青少年在两次相隔 6 个月的时间点收集的数据，通过双向关联分析检验了友谊质量和关系/言语侵害之间的关系。交叉滞后面板分析显示，友谊质量和受侵害之间存在双向关系，言语侵害和关系侵害均存在这种关系。多群组面板分析发现，友谊质量和关系/言语侵害之间的交叉滞后关联仅存在于男性青少年中，而不存在于女性青少年中。这一结果表明，男性青少年的受侵害不仅受到友谊质量的影响，也是友谊质量的预测因素，这对青少年预防项目具有启示意义。
