据推测，为欺凌受害者辩护对年轻人来说是一种压力，可能会导致那些经常干预以保护受害同龄人的人心理健康状况不佳。然而，迄今为止，现存的文献主要限于相关的，单一的信息研究。目前的研究检查了同时和预期的心理健康成本（例如，4085名青少年（43.9%为男生;法师= 14.56，SD = 0.75）同伴报告的防御行为中的社交焦虑、抑郁症状。此外，我们研究了两个潜在的主持人（受害和流行）之间的关联防御和内化的问题。分析显示，没有证据表明防御和内化症状之间存在直接的正相关关系。然而，一个积极的，同时协会之间的防御和社交焦虑，但只有在青年谁报告说，他们也是受害者-协会是负面的非受害青年。此外，同侪报告的受害和社会地位被发现缓和防御和后来的抑郁症症状之间的纵向关系。具体来说，在低地位的高度受害的青年，捍卫与经历抑郁症症状的风险增加，而高地位的青年谁很少被视为受害者报告减少抑郁症症状在T2，如果他们也有一个为他人辩护的声誉。研究结果表明，为他人辩护可能不是已经脆弱和/或没有高地位保护的青年的风险因素，实际上可能对这些青年有保护作用。
It has been speculated that defending victims of bullying is stressful for youth, and may contribute to poor mental health among those who regularly intervene to defend their victimized peers. However, the extant literature is thus far primarily limited to correlational, single-informant studies. The current study examined the concurrent and prospective mental health costs (e.g., social anxiety, depressive symptoms) of peer-reported defending among 4085 youth (43.9% boys; Mage = 14.56, SD = 0.75). Moreover, we examined two potential moderators (victimization and popularity) of the association between defending and internalizing problems. Analyses revealed that there was no evidence of a direct, positive relationship between defending and internalizing symptoms. However, a positive, concurrent association was found between defending and social anxiety, but only among youth who reported that they were also victims – the association was negative among non-victimized youth. In addition, both peer-reported victimization and social status were found to moderate the longitudinal relationship between defending and later symptoms of depression. Specifically, among low-status highly victimized youth, defending was associated with an increased risk of experiencing symptoms of depression, whereas high-status youth who were rarely seen as victims reported decreased symptoms of depression at T2 if they also had a reputation for defending others. The findings suggest that defending others is likely not a risk factor for youth who are not already vulnerable and/or have the protection of high status, and may actually have a protective effect for these youth.
