寄宿护理环境中同伴之间的言语和间接暴力是研究不足的社会问题。本研究以32个RCSs中1,324名11-19岁的犹太和阿拉伯青少年为样本，探讨了RCSs中同龄人的口头（如咒骂）和间接（如社会排斥）形式的受害者的患病率和多层次相关性。青少年在他们的设施完成了一份自我报告的匿名问卷。分层线性模型（HLM）被用来研究青少年受害，个人层面的特征（性别，年龄，调整困难，自我效能，工作人员虐待的经验和感知机构的社会气候），和RCS水平的特征（设置类型的照顾，大小，结构和种族联系）之间的联系。大多数青少年报告说，在填写问卷之前的一个月里，他们的同龄人至少有一次口头（73%）和间接（62%）受害。女孩和对自己的社会自我效能感低的女孩更容易遭受间接暴力。年龄较小的青少年，青少年与更高水平的整体调整困难，那些经历了高水平的身体虐待的RCS工作人员和那些认为在他们的RCS儿童友好的水平为穷人，都更容易受到同伴的口头和间接的受害。口头受害与居住在犹太RCS和间接受害是正相关的治疗环境中，其中包含更高浓度的弱势青年相比，康复环境中的居住。这些发现可以帮助设计针对研究中确定的风险儿童和机构的反欺凌干预和预防计划。(c)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Verbal and indirect violence among peers in residential care settings (RCSs) are understudied social problems. This study, based on a sample of 1,324 Jewish and Arab adolescents aged 11-19 in 32 RCSs, examines the prevalence and multilevel correlates of verbal (such as cursing) and indirect (such as social exclusion) forms of victimization by peers in RCSs. Adolescents completed a self-report anonymous questionnaire in their facility. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) is used to examine the links between adolescents victimization, individual-level characteristics (gender, age, adjustment difficulties, self-efficacy, staff maltreatment experiences and perceived institutional social climate), and RCS-level characteristics (setting type of care, size, structure, and ethnic affiliation). Most adolescents reported having been verbally (73%) and indirectly (62%) victimized by their peers at least once in the month prior to filling out the questionnaire. Vulnerability to indirect violence is higher among girls and those with low perception of their social self-efficacy. Younger adolescents, adolescents with higher levels of overall adjustment difficulties, those experiencing high levels of physical maltreatment by RCS staff and those perceiving levels of child friendliness in their RCS as poor, were all more vulnerable to verbal and indirect victimization by peers. Verbal victimization is positively associated with residence in Jewish RCSs and indirect victimization is positively associated with residence in therapeutic settings which contain higher concentrations of vulnerable youth compared with rehabilitative settings. The findings can assist in designing anti-bullying intervention and prevention programs tailored for the at-risk children and institutions identified in the study. (c) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
