Background Children and adolescents with a history of developmental language disorder are at elevated risk of experiencing internalising and externalising symptoms. The existing literature suggests a link between developmental language disorder, bullying victimisation and low self-esteem, both of which are negatively associated with child and adolescent mental health more generally. Aim We examined the relationship between having a history of developmental language disorder and internalising and externalising symptoms in adolescence. We also tested whether bullying victimisation and self-esteem were associated with mental health outcomes, and whether they moderated the association between a history of developmental language disorder and psychological symptoms. Methods and procedures: Adolescents with a history of developmental language disorder (n = 20, 10–16 years, 10% female, 90% male) were compared to a group of typically developing peers (n = 22, 10–16 years, 36.4% female, 63.6% male). Receptive and expressive language, internalising and externalising symptoms, bullying victimisation and self-esteem were assessed with well-validated measures. Outcomes and results: Contrary to our predictions, a history of developmental language disorder was not directly associated with internalising or externalising symptoms. However, in terms of internalising symptoms, there was a significant interaction between a history of developmental language disorder and bullying victimisation (β = 1.01, p = .02). Specifically, there was a significant association between a history of developmental language disorder and internalising symptoms at high levels of bullying victimisation [t(41) = 2.52, p = .02] but not at low levels of bullying victimisation [t(41) = –.67, p = .51). Conclusions and implications: Bullying victimisation appears to increase the risk of internalising symptoms in adolescents with a history of developmental language disorder. Future research should examine whether anti-bullying interventions can help prevent the development of internalising problems for children with developmental language disorder. These findings may aid clinicians in developing their understanding of developmental language disorder and reinforces the importance of holistic client management in speech language therapy.

有发育性语言障碍史的青少年的心理健康：欺凌受害的调节作用

背景技术有发展性语言障碍史的儿童和青少年经历内在和外在症状的风险较高。现有文献表明，发展性语言障碍，欺凌行为受害和自卑感之间存在联系，而这两者与儿童和青少年的心理健康状况普遍存在负相关。目的我们研究了具有发展性语言障碍史与青春期内在化和外在化症状之间的关系。我们还测试了欺凌受害和自尊是否与心理健康结果相关，以及它们是否缓解了发展性语言障碍史与心理症状之间的联系。方法和步骤：将具有发展性语言障碍史的青少年（n = 20、10-16岁，女性10％，男性90％）与一组典型的同龄人（n = 22、10-16岁，36.4％女性，63.6）进行比较％男性）。接受和表达语言，内在和外在症状，欺凌受害和自尊进行了有效验证的措施进行了评估。结果和结果：与我们的预测相反，发展性语言障碍的历史与症状的内在化或外在化没有直接关系。然而，就内在症状而言，发展性语言障碍史与欺凌受害之间存在显着的相互作用（β= 1.01，p = .02）。特别，在高水平的欺凌受害[t（41）= 2.52，p = .02]时，发展性语言障碍的历史与内在化症状之间存在显着相关性，而在低水平的欺凌受害[t（41）= –不存在。 67，p = .51）。结论和启示：欺凌受害似乎增加了具有发展性语言障碍史的青少年内在化症状的风险。未来的研究应该检查反欺凌干预措施是否可以帮助预防发育性语言障碍儿童的内在化问题的发展。这些发现可能有助于临床医生发展对发育性语言障碍的理解，并增强整体客户管理在言语治疗中的重要性。02]，但在欺凌受害程度不低的情况下[t（41）= –.67，p = .51）。结论和启示：欺凌受害似乎增加了具有发展性语言障碍史的青少年内在化症状的风险。未来的研究应该检查反欺凌干预措施是否可以帮助预防发育性语言障碍儿童的内在化问题的发展。这些发现可能有助于临床医生发展对发育性语言障碍的理解，并增强整体客户管理在言语治疗中的重要性。02]，但在欺凌受害程度不低的情况下[t（41）= –.67，p = .51）。结论和启示：欺凌受害似乎增加了具有发展性语言障碍史的青少年内在化症状的风险。未来的研究应该检查反欺凌干预措施是否可以帮助预防发育性语言障碍儿童的内在化问题的发展。这些发现可能有助于临床医生发展对发育性语言障碍的理解，并增强整体客户管理在言语治疗中的重要性。未来的研究应该检查反欺凌干预措施是否可以帮助预防发育性语言障碍儿童的内在化问题的发展。这些发现可能有助于临床医生发展对发育性语言障碍的理解，并增强整体客户管理在言语治疗中的重要性。未来的研究应该检查反欺凌干预措施是否可以帮助预防发育性语言障碍儿童的内在化问题的发展。这些发现可能有助于临床医生发展对发育性语言障碍的理解，并增强整体客户管理在言语治疗中的重要性。
