ABSTRACT

Research suggests many youth report being victimized in school due to ptheir social identities (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation). We compared the consequences of social identity-based victimization (SIBV) to general victimization wherein adolescents are victimized by peers for other reasons (e.g., competition, a perceived insult). An online survey administered to 471 high school students yielded 777 victimization reports. 71.2% of the students reported at least one recent vicitimization, with 53.8% reporting SIBV. Race-based victimization was the most prevalent, and SIBV was more common online than offline. Psychological reactions (i.e., negative affect, self-esteem, and perceived costs) and behavioral responses (i.e., avoidant, antisocial, prosocial, and self-harm behavior), were heightened for youth reporting SIBV. As anticipated, psychological reactions significantly mediated the effect of SIBV on behavioral responses.

摘要

研究表明，许多青年报告说由于他们的社会身份（例如种族、性别、性取向）而在学校成为受害者。我们比较了基于社会身份的受害（SIBV）与一般受害的后果，其中青少年因其他原因（例如，竞争，感知侮辱）受到同龄人的伤害。对 471 名高中生进行的在线调查产生了 777 份受害报告。71.2% 的学生报告了最近至少一次受害，53.8% 的学生报告了 SIBV。基于种族的受害是最普遍的，SIBV 在线上比离线更常见。报告 SIBV 的青少年的心理反应（即负面影响、自尊和感知成本）和行为反应（即回避、反社会、亲社会和自残行为）得到了加强。正如预期的那样，
