This study examined gender differences in a moderated-mediation model examining whether perceived social support moderated depressive symptom and academic achievement mediation pathways from peer victimization to substance use among 1,334 U.S. early adolescents (11-14 years, 50% girls, 51% White). Surveys were administered in schools at three 6-month intervals. Multiple group analyses suggested that the moderated-mediation model differed for boys and girls. Indirect effects suggested that declines in academic achievement mediated the relationship between peer victimization and substance use for girls and boys, while elevated depressive symptoms mediated this relationship for girls only. Higher family and friend support attenuated the relationship between overt victimization and academic achievement for boys and between relational victimization and depressive symptoms for girls. These findings implicate two risk pathways that account for why peer victimization enhances substance use risk and emphasize the importance of perceived support following peer victimization during early adolescence. Gender differences require replication.

感知到的家庭和朋友支持从同伴受害到青春期早期女孩和男孩的物质使用的适度途径：适度的中介分析

这项研究检查了调节中介模型中的性别差异，研究了感知的社会支持是否在 1,334 名美国早期青少年（11-14 岁，50% 女孩，51% 白人）中调节了从同伴受害到物质使用的抑郁症状和学业成绩调节途径。调查以三个 6 个月为间隔在学校进行。多组分析表明，男孩和女孩的调节调解模型不​​同。间接影响表明，学业成绩的下降介导了女孩和男孩的同伴受害与物质使用之间的关系，而抑郁症状的升高仅介导了女孩的这种关系。更高的家庭和朋友支持减弱了男孩的公开受害与学业成绩之间的关系，以及女孩的关系受害与抑郁症状之间的关系。这些发现暗示了两种风险途径，它们解释了为什么同伴受害会增加物质使用风险，并强调了在青春期早期同伴受害后感知支持的重要性。性别差异需要复制。
