Objective

To examine the secondary effects of a personality-targeted intervention on bullying and harms among adolescent victims and bullies.

Method

Outcomes were examined for victims and bullies in the Climate and Preventure study, Australia. Participants completed self-report measures at baseline and four follow-up assessments (6, 12, 24, and 36 months). Thirteen intervention schools (n = 1,087) received Preventure, a brief personality-targeted cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention for adolescents with high-risk personality types (hopelessness, anxiety sensitivity, impulsivity, sensation seeking). Thirteen control schools (n = 1,103) received health education as usual. Bullying was examined for high-risk victims (n = 143 in Preventure schools versus n = 153 in control schools) and bullies (n = 63 in Preventure schools versus n = 67 in control schools) in the total sample. Harms were examined for high-risk victims (n = 110 in Preventure schools versus n = 87 in control schools) and bullies (n = 50 in Preventure schools versus n = 30 in control schools) in independent schools.

Results

There was no significant intervention effect for bullying victimization or perpetration in the total sample. In the subsample, mixed models showed greater reductions in victimization (b = −0.208, 95% CI −0.4104 to −0.002, p < .05), suicidal ideation (b = −0.130, 95% CI −0.225 to −0.034, p < .01), and emotional symptoms (b = −0.263, 95% CI −0.466 to −0.061, p < .05) among high-risk victims in Preventure versus control schools. Conduct problems (b = −0.292, 95% CI −0.554 to −0.030, p < .05) showed greater reductions among high-risk bullies in Preventure versus control schools, and suicidal ideation showed greater reductions among high-risk female bullies in Preventure versus control schools (b = −0.820, 95% CI −1.198 to −0.442, p < .001).

Conclusion

The findings support targeting personality in bullying prevention.

解决学校中欺负行为的新方法：针对澳大利亚青少年受害者和欺负者的针对性干预

客观的

研究针对性的干预对青少年受害者和欺凌者的欺凌和伤害的辅助影响。

方法

在澳大利亚的气候与预防研究中，对结局中的受害者和欺凌者进行了检查。参与者在基线和四次随访评估（6、12、24和36个月）时完成了自我报告措施。13所干预学校（n = 1,087）接受了预防-一种针对性格针对性高的青少年（绝望，焦虑感，冲动，寻求感觉）的简短针对性的针对性的认知行为疗法干预措施。照例，有13所控制学校（n = 1,103）接受了健康教育。在样本中，对高风险受害者（预防学校中的n = 143，对照学校中的n = 153）和欺凌者（预防学校中的n = 63，对照学校中的n = 67）进行了欺凌检查。

结果

在总样本中，对于欺凌受害者或犯罪没有明显的干预效果。在子样本中，混合模型显示出更大的受害减少（b = -0.208，95％CI -0.4104至-0.002，p  <.05），自杀意念（b = -0.130，95％CI -0.225至-0.034，p 预防学校与对照学校中的高风险受害者之间的 情感症状（<.01）和情绪症状（b = -0.263，95％CI -0.466至-0.061，p <.05）。行为问题（b = −0.292，95％CI −0.554至−0.030，p  <.05）表明，与预防学校相比，在丹比泰高中的高风险欺凌者减少得更多，而在高风险地区，自杀意念表明高风险的女欺负者减少得更多。与对照学校（b = −0.820，95％CI −1.198至−0.442，p  <.001）。

结论

这些发现支持在欺凌预防中针对性格。
