目的:调查 9 年级遭受性骚扰的发生率和类型的性别差异,以及它如何影响 2.5 年后的关系受害和心理调整。方法:来自 23 所学校的 1734 名学生在 9 年级入学和 11 年级结束时完成了自我报告调查。收集了有关受害经历(性骚扰、身体约会暴力、同伴暴力和关系受害)和调整的自我报告数据(情绪困扰、药物滥用、自残、自杀念头、适应不良的节食、在学校感到不安全以及暴力犯罪)。预先指定了按性别进行的单独分析。结果:9 年级男孩 (42.4%) 和女孩 (44.1%) 中性骚扰受害很常见,女孩报告的性笑话、评论和不想要的触摸比男孩多,男孩报告更多同性恋诽谤或接收不受欢迎的性内容。对于女孩来说,九年级的性骚扰受害与自残、自杀念头、适应不良节食、过早约会、药物滥用和在学校感到不安全的风险增加有关。除了节食和自残行为之外,男孩也存在类似的风险模式。调整后的比值比 (AOR) 表明,这些学生比未受到骚扰的学生更有可能在 2.5 年后报告受到同龄人和约会伙伴的伤害(男孩和女孩的 AOR 分别;所有 p < .01),包括性骚扰(AOR:2.45;2.9)、身体约会暴力(AOR:2.02;3.73)和同伴身体暴力(AOR:2.75;2.73)。 2.79)。 Gr 9 性骚扰还显着导致 2.5 年后的情绪困扰(AOR:2.09;2.24)、问题药物使用(AOR:1.79;2.04)和暴力犯罪(AOR:2.1;3.34)(分别为男孩和女孩;所有 p < .01)。结论:高中开始时的性骚扰是是女孩和男孩未来遭受同龄人和约会伙伴伤害的有力预测因素,因此需要加大预防和干预力度。 (c) 2009 年青少年医学学会。版权所有。
Purpose: To examine gender differences in prevalence and types of sexual harassment victimization experienced in grade 9 and how it contributes to relationship victimization and psychological adjustment 2.5 years later.Methods: A total of 1734 students from 23 schools completed self-report surveys at entry to grade 9 and end of grade 11. Self-report data were collected on victimization experiences (sexual harassment, physical dating violence, peer violence, and relational victimization) and adjustment (emotional distress, problem substance use, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, maladaptive dieting, feeling unsafe at school, and perpetration of violent delinquency). Separate analyses by sex were prespecified.Results: Sexual harassment victimization was common among boys (42.4%) and girls (44.1%) in grade 9, with girls reporting more sexual jokes, comments, and unwanted touch than among boys, and with boys reporting more homosexual slurs or receiving unwanted sexual content. For girls, sexual harassment victimization in grade 9 was associated with elevated risk of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, maladaptive dieting, early dating, substance use, and feeling unsafe at school. A similar pattern of risk was found for boys, with the exception of dieting and self-harm behaviors. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) indicated these students were significantly more likely than nonharassed students to report victimization by peers and dating partners 2.5 years later (AOR for boys and girls, respectively; all p < .01), including sexual harassment (AOR: 2.45; 2.9), physical dating violence (AOR: 2.02; 3.73), and physical peer violence (AOR: 2.75; 2.79). Gr 9 sexual harassment also contributed significantly to emotional distress (AOR: 2.09; 2.24), problem substance use (AOR: 1.79; 2.04), and violent delinquency perpetration (AOR: 2.1; 3.34) 2.5 years later (boys and girls, respectively; all p < .01).Conclusions: Sexual harassment at the beginning of high school is a strong predictor of future victimization by peers and dating partners for both girls and boys, and warrants greater prevention and intervention efforts.
