Prospective associations linking parental responses to peer victimization (i.e., coping suggestions, school contact) with adolescents’ coping and experiences of peer victimization were examined. Participants were 203 adolescents ( X ¯ a g e = 12.16 years, SD = 0.98) and a parent (81% mothers). At Time 1, parents provided open-ended responses to a hypothetical peer victimization scenario. At Time 1 and Time 2, adolescents reported on peer victimization and coping with peer victimization. Parents’ active-engaged responses to the hypothetical scenario (e.g., approaching the school) predicted more adolescent-reported conflict resolution and support seeking, whereas parents’ passive-disengaged responses (e.g., tell an adult) predicted less adolescent-reported support seeking over time. Somewhat surprisingly, parents’ positive and negative appraisals predicted less conflict resolution and revenge seeking, respectively. Parents’ suggestions to be assertive predicted more peer victimization over time. Some gender differences emerged in associations between parents’ responses and adolescents’ coping and peer victimization. Implications of these findings and future directions are discussed.

父母对同伴受害的反应：与青少年早期应对和同伴受害的关联

研究了将父母对同伴受害的反应（即应对建议、学校接触）与青少年的应对和同伴受害经历联系起来的前瞻性关联。参与者是 203 名青少年（X 年龄 = 12.16 岁，SD = 0.98）和父母（81% 为母亲）。在时间 1，父母对假设的同伴受害情景提供了开放式的回应。在时间 1 和时间 2，青少年报告了同伴受害和应对同伴受害的情况。父母对假设情景（例如，接近学校）的积极参与反应预测更多青少年报告的冲突解决和支持寻求，而父母的被动脱离反应（例如，告诉成人）预测青少年报告的更少的支持寻求超过时间。有点意外，父母的正面和负面评价分别预示着较少的冲突解决和报复行为。随着时间的推移，父母对自信的建议预示着更多的同伴受害。在父母的反应与青少年的应对和同伴受害之间的关联中出现了一些性别差异。讨论了这些发现和未来方向的影响。
