The central objective of the study was to investigate a moderated mediation model addressing social cognitive mechanisms that account for the association between peer victimization and anxiety. A sample of 81 youth (M age = 12.78, SD = 0.88) completed questionnaires assessing peer victimization, anxiety, social self-efficacy, and peer perceptions. Reports of peer victimization were associated with anxiety symptoms. Moreover, social self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between peer victimization and anxiety. Lastly, the perception of school peers moderated the mediation process between peer victimization and anxiety via social self-efficacy. These findings suggest that social contextual variables (e.g., peer victimization and perception of school peers) and negative self-evaluations (e.g., social self-efficacy) are risk factors for anxiety symptom severity in youth. Limitations and practical implications were discussed.

这项研究的主要目的是研究一个适度的调解模型，该模型解决了社会认知机制，该机制解释了同伴受害与焦虑之间的关系。样本为81位青年（M年龄= 12.78，SD= 0.88）已完成的问卷调查，评估了同伴的受害，焦虑，社交自我效能感和同伴的知觉。同伴受害的报告与焦虑症状有关。此外，社会自我效能感部分地介导了同伴受害与焦虑之间的关系。最后，通过社会自我效能感，对同龄人的感知减轻了同龄人受害与焦虑之间的调解过程。这些发现表明，社会背景变量（例如，同伴受害和对同龄人的感知）和负面的自我评价（例如，社会自我效能感）是青年人焦虑症状严重程度的危险因素。局限性和实际意义进行了讨论。
