This study examined the risks and protective factors for experiencing bullying and especially racist bullying among internationally adopted children in Finland. Factors examined were related to children's background, adoptive family, children's social problems and social skills, and their associations with bullying experiences. About 56.9% of children reported bullying victimization and 24.2% racist bullying victimization. Boys were at bigger risk of becoming bullied (B = 0.14, p < .05), as were children with disability (B = 0.11; p < .05). The continent of birth (European; B = 0.51; p < .001) and adoptive family's lower socioeconomic status (SES; B = 0.16; p < .05) were associated with increased victimization. Child's social problems increased the likelihood of victimization for both general (B = 0.59, p < .001) and racist bullying (B = 0.10, p < .001). Child's social skills appeared as a protective factor against general bullying (B = 3.87; p > .001). This study shows that interventions for tackling children's social problems and improving their social skills may reduce children's risk for bullying involvement.

国际收养者中的欺凌行为：测试风险和保护因素

这项研究调查了芬兰国际收养儿童中遭受欺凌特别是种族主义欺凌的风险和保护因素。所考察的因素与儿童的背景，收养家庭，儿童的社会问题和社会技能以及他们与欺凌经历的关联有关。约有56.9％的儿童报告有欺凌行为，有24.2％的种族主义欺凌行为是儿童。男孩和被欺凌的儿童被欺负的风险更大（B = 0.14，p <.05）（B = 0.11； p <.05）。出生大陆（欧洲； B = 0.51； p <.001）和收养家庭较低的社会经济地位（SES； B = 0.16； p <.05）与受害增加有关。儿童的社会问题增加了双方受害的可能性（B = 0.59，p <。001）和种族主义霸凌（B = 0.10，p <.001）。儿童的社交能力似乎是预防普遍欺凌的保护因素（B = 3.87； p> .001）。这项研究表明，针对儿童的社会问题和提高其社交能力的干预措施可以降低儿童遭受欺凌的风险。
