Family and school environments are pivotal in adolescent development. However, the simultaneous examination of adversities in both domains remains understudied. Based on bioecological and spillover theories, this study aimed to bridge this research gap by using latent profile analysis to identify distinct patterns of family adversity and bullying involvement among Chinese adolescents. This study also explored mental health problems associated with these patterns.
This study was conducted in June (T1) and December (T2) 2023, with a 6-month interval, in Henan Province, China, and involved 2,568 adolescents (50.3% girls, M = 13.46 ± 0.72). Participants completed questionnaires assessing family adversity and bullying involvement at T1, as well as assessments of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, suicide risk, and complex posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms at both T1 and T2.
Six profiles were identified: low adversity and bullying (69.0%, n = 1,771), abuse only (10.9%, n = 279), neglect only (4.5%, n = 115), bullying involvement only (3.7%, n = 96), moderate adversity and bullying with severe abuse (6.9%, n = 176), and moderate adversity and bullying with severe neglect (5.1%, n = 131). Importantly, the severity of mental health problems varied significantly across these profiles.
The study enriches our understanding of concurrent family adversity and bullying involvement and their impact on adolescent mental health, offering insights for tailored intervention strategies for affected groups.
家庭和学校环境在青少年发展中起着关键作用。然而，对这两个领域中的逆境同时进行研究仍未得到充分关注。基于生物生态学和溢出理论，本研究旨在通过潜在剖面分析来识别中国青少年家庭逆境和受欺凌情况的不同模式，以填补这一研究空白。本研究还探讨了与这些模式相关的心理健康问题。
本研究于2023年6月（T1）和12月（T2）在中国河南省进行，间隔6个月，共纳入2568名青少年（女生占50.3%，平均年龄M = 13.46 ± 0.72岁）。参与者在T1时完成评估家庭逆境和受欺凌情况的问卷，并在T1和T2时完成抑郁症状、焦虑症状、自杀风险和复杂性创伤后应激障碍症状的评估。
识别出六种模式：低逆境和低受欺凌（69.0%，n = 1771）、仅遭受虐待（10.9%，n = 279）、仅遭受忽视（4.5%，n = 115）、仅受欺凌（3.7%，n = 96）、中度逆境和受欺凌且伴有严重虐待（6.9%，n = 176）、中度逆境和受欺凌且伴有严重忽视（5.1%，n = 131）。重要的是，这些模式中心理健康问题的严重程度差异显著。
本研究丰富了我们对家庭逆境和受欺凌情况并发及其对青少年心理健康影响的理解，为针对受影响群体的量身定制干预策略提供了见解。
