尽管在全国范围内学校安全有所改善，但学校中的受害现象仍在继续，并影响到大量学生的福祉。本研究使用加州健康儿童调查，全州范围内的监测工具，在年级7，9，11在加州（N = 70，600），以解决学生在学校的多重受害的经验。作者根据受害经历确定学生的亚组;评估由于偏见而成为目标的看法如何与集群成员关系;并将受害与学校安全，抑郁，成绩，逃学和内部资产的看法联系起来。受害率按年级、性别和种族列出。聚类分析揭示了五个受害亚组nonvictims，polyvictims，和受害者主要是性骚扰，主要是身体上的受害者，主要是戏弄。与非受害者相比，受害学生的心理社会调整措施的结果更差，与多受害者表现最差。受害者更有可能认为他们是由于性别或感知的性取向而成为目标。研究和实践的影响。
Despite nationwide improvements in school safety, victimization at school continues and affects the well-being of a significant number of students. This study uses the California Healthy Kids Survey, a statewide surveillance instrument administered to students in grades 7, 9, and 11 in California (N = 70,600) to address the multiple victimization experiences of students at school. The authors identify subgroups of students based on victimization experience; assess how perceptions of being targeted due to bias relate to cluster membership; and relate victimization to perceptions of school safety, depression, grades, truancy, and internal assets. Victimization rates are given across grade, gender, and ethnicity. Cluster analysis reveals five victimization subgroups-nonvictims, polyvictims, and victims who are predominantly sexually harassed, predominantly physically victimized, and predominantly teased. Compared to nonvictims, students who are victimized report worse outcomes on measures of psychosocial adjustment, with polyvictims faring the worst. Victims are more likely to perceive that they are targeted due to their gender or perceived sexual orientation. Implications for research and practice are provided.
