ABSTRACT

Research is sparse on who targets whom in peer aggression. In this study, we investigated the harm associated with the type of relationship between aggressed and aggressor with an international sample of over 5,000 students aged 11–16, living in 12 nations. Best friends and individuals with whom the respondent had no relationship were the least likely to engage in aggression, while one-third of peer aggression could be attributed to friends (not best friends), and classmates/peers. Greater harm was experienced between best friends only when it involved relational aggression, such as spreading rumors and being left out. Harm from aggression varied by world location and number of different experiences of aggression, while gender and age differences were inconsistent. Intervention programs could take advantage of the vital role that friends play as socializing agents during adolescence that focus on the harmfulness of aggression undertaken in the guise of a joke.

摘要

在同伴攻击中，针对谁针对谁的研究很少。在这项研究中，我们调查了12个国家/地区的5,000多名11-16岁学生的国际样本，研究了与侵略者和侵略者之间的关系类型相关的危害。与被访者没有亲密关系的最好的朋友和个人进行攻击的可能性最小，而同伴攻击的三分之一可归因于朋友（不是最好的朋友）以及同学/同伴。最好的朋友之间只有在涉及到关系侵略（例如散布谣言和被拒之门）时才会遭受更大的伤害。侵略造成的危害因世界位置和侵略经历的数量而异，而性别和年龄差异却不一致。
