欺凌和受害是儿童时期普遍存在的现象，可能对福祉产生严重影响。来自社会经济背景较低家庭的儿童发生这种行为的风险增加，但尚不清楚学校社区的社会经济地位是否也与欺凌行为有关。此外，由于之前的欺凌研究主要集中在年龄较大的儿童和青少年身上，因此尚不清楚欺凌和受害在多大程度上影响了年幼儿童的生活。本研究的目的是探讨小学生欺负行为的流行和社会经济差异。这项研究是荷兰一项基于人口的调查的一部分。教师报告的欺凌行为和指标的家庭和学校的SES为6 379名5-6岁的儿童。三分之一的儿童参与了欺凌，其中大多数是欺凌者（17%）或欺凌受害者（13%），而纯粹的受害者（4%）较少。低家庭社会经济地位和贫困的学校社区社会经济地位的所有指标都与成为欺凌者或欺凌受害者的风险增加有关。父母文化程度是社会经济地位与受害关系的唯一指标。学校邻里SES对欺凌的影响衰减到统计学上的非显着性，一旦调整家庭SES。欺凌和受害已经是小学早期的常见问题。来自社会经济弱势家庭的儿童，而不是在弱势社区上学的儿童，参与欺凌的风险特别高。这些发现表明，需要及时采取欺凌预防和干预措施，特别关注社会经济背景较低家庭的儿童。未来的研究是必要的，以评估这些方案的有效性。
Bullying and victimization are widespread phenomena in childhood and can have a serious impact on well-being. Children from families with a low socioeconomic background have an increased risk of this behaviour, but it is unknown whether socioeconomic status (SES) of school neighbourhoods is also related to bullying behaviour. Furthermore, as previous bullying research mainly focused on older children and adolescents, it remains unclear to what extent bullying and victimization affects the lives of younger children. The aim of this study is to examine the prevalence and socioeconomic disparities in bullying behaviour among young elementary school children. The study was part of a population-based survey in the Netherlands. Teacher reports of bullying behaviour and indicators of SES of families and schools were available for 6379 children aged 5–6 years. One-third of the children were involved in bullying, most of them as bullies (17%) or bully-victims (13%), and less as pure victims (4%). All indicators of low family SES and poor school neighbourhood SES were associated with an increased risk of being a bully or bully-victim. Parental educational level was the only indicator of SES related with victimization. The influence of school neighbourhood SES on bullying attenuated to statistical non-significance once adjusted for family SES. Bullying and victimization are already common problems in early elementary school. Children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families, rather than children visiting schools in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, have a particularly high risk of involvement in bullying. These findings suggest the need of timely bullying preventions and interventions that should have a special focus on children of families with a low socioeconomic background. Future studies are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of such programs.
