Bullying victimization is common in adolescence and has been associated with a broad variety of psychopathology and alcohol use. The present study assessed time-varying associations between bullying victimization and alcohol use through internalizing and externalizing symptoms and whether this indirect association throughout time is moderated by personality. This 5-year longitudinal study (3,800 grade 7 adolescents) used Bayesian multilevel moderated mediation models: independent variable was bullying victimization; moderators were four personality dimensions (anxiety sensitivity, hopelessness, impulsivity, and sensation seeking); internalizing symptoms (anxiety, depressive symptoms) and externalizing symptoms (conduct, hyperactivity problems) were the mediators; and alcohol use, the outcome. Results indicated significant between, within, and lagged effects on alcohol use through internalizing and externalizing symptoms. There were significant between and within effects on alcohol use through internalizing symptoms for adolescents with high anxiety sensitivity and hopelessness, and significant between, within, and lagged effects on alcohol use through externalizing symptoms for adolescents with high impulsivity and sensation seeking. These findings implicate two risk pathways that account for how bullying victimization enhances alcohol use risk and emphasize the importance of personality profiles that can shape the immediate and long-term consequences of victimization.

欺凌受害在青春期很常见，并且与多种精神病理学和酗酒有关。本研究通过内化和外化症状来评估欺凌受害与饮酒之间随时间变化的关联，以及这种随时间变化的间接关联是否受到个性的调节。这项为期 5 年的纵向研究（3,800 名七年级青少年）使用贝叶斯多级调节中介模型：自变量是欺凌受害；调节者是四个人格维度（焦虑敏感、绝望、冲动和寻求感觉）；内化症状（焦虑、抑郁症状）和外化症状（品行、多动问题）是中介因素；和饮酒，结果。结果表明，通过内化和外化症状对酒精使用产生显着的间、内和滞后影响。对于具有高度焦虑敏感性和绝望的青少年来说，通过内化症状对酒精使用存在显着的之间和内部影响，对于具有高冲动和寻求感觉的青少年来说，通过外化症状对酒精使用存在显着的之间、内部和滞后影响。这些发现暗示了两种风险途径，解释了欺凌受害如何增加饮酒风险，并强调了可以塑造受害的直接和长期后果的人格特征的重要性。
