本研究调查了276名主要是非裔美国人在所有城市公立学校就读中学的八年级学生中两种形式的同伴伤害，身体和关系，以及包括吸毒、攻击和犯罪行为在内的外化行为之间的联系。回归分析表明，身体伤害与吸烟和饮酒有显著关系，但与酒精和大麻的重度使用无显著关系；在控制身体伤害后，关系伤害对所有类别的药物使用都有独特的贡献。身体伤害也与身体和关系攻击和犯罪行为显著相关。关系受害在这些行为的并发预测中起到了独特的作用。与女孩相比，男孩的身体伤害与酒精使用、攻击性和犯罪行为的关系更强。相比之下，关系受害与身体攻击和大麻使用的关系在女孩中比在男孩中更强，但与关系攻击的关系在男孩中比在女孩中更强。这些发现提供了关于先前研究的普遍性的信息，并对干预工作具有重要意义。
This study examined associations between two forms of peer victimization, physical and relational, and externalizing behaviors including drug use, aggression, and delinquent behaviors among a sample of 276 predominantly African American eighth graders attending middle school in all urban public school system. Regression analyses indicated that physical victimization was significantly related to cigarette and alcohol use but not to advanced alcohol and marijuana use; relational victimization contributed uniquely to all categories of drug use after controlling for physical victimization. Physical victimization was also significantly related to physical and relational aggression and delinquent behaviors. and relational victimization made a unique contribution in the concurrent prediction of these behavior. Physical victimization was more strongly related to both categories of alcohol use, aggression, and to delinquent behaviors among boys than among girls. In contrast, relational victimization was more strongly related to physical aggression and marijuana use among girls than among boys, but more strongly related to relational aggression among boys than among girls. These findings provide information about the generalizability of prior research and have important implications for intervention efforts.
