Although many studies have explored the effects of peer rejection on bullying and victimization, the specific targets of bullying and victimization in adolescents after experiencing rejection have not been identified. This study adopts longitudinal social network analysis to examine whether the effects of peer rejection on bullying and victimization are only for peers in the rejecting relationship or involve other peers. This two-wave longitudinal study included 2,223 Chinese junior high school students. Students reported rejection, bullying, and victimization at the end of the first semester of eighth grade (M = 13.93 years, SD = 0.60, 48.6% girls) and the end of the second semester of eighth grade (M = 14.38 years, SD = 0.59, 49.0% girls). After fitting the data to stochastic actor-oriented models, the results revealed that rejected adolescents are more likely to be victimized by peers who reject them but not by others. Conversely, rejected adolescents tend to bully peers who do not reject them. These findings suggest that rejected adolescents simultaneously are at risk of both developing as bullies and being forced to become victims. They target different peers in each context, reflecting the complexity of bullying and victimization among adolescents after being rejected by peers.
尽管许多研究探讨了同伴排斥对欺凌和受欺负行为的影响，但在经历排斥后青少年中欺凌和受欺负行为的具体对象尚未明确。本研究采用纵向社会网络分析，以检验同伴排斥对欺凌和受欺负行为的影响是否仅针对处于排斥关系中的同伴，还是涉及其他同伴。这项两波次的纵向研究纳入了2223名中国初中生。学生们在八年级第一学期末（M = 13.93岁，标准差 = 0.60，48.6%为女生）和八年级第二学期末（M = 14.38岁，标准差 = 0.59，49.0%为女生）报告了排斥、欺凌和受欺负情况。在将数据拟合到随机行为者导向模型后，结果显示，被排斥的青少年更有可能受到排斥他们的同伴的欺负，而不是其他同伴。相反，被排斥的青少年倾向于欺负那些不排斥他们的同伴。这些发现表明，被排斥的青少年同时面临成为欺凌者和被迫成为受害者的风险。他们在每种情况下针对不同的同伴，反映了青少年在被同伴排斥后欺凌和受欺负行为的复杂性。
