本研究的目的是调查青少年早期的性骚扰，现有数据表明，同龄人之间的性骚扰在高中很普遍，并且与受害者和肇事者的心理社会问题有关。就目前的研究而言。我们采用了一个发展背景模型来研究这种行为在小学后期和中学阶段发展的可能性，并与此时发生的生物和社会变化有关。来自加拿大中南部一个大城市的七所小学和中学的6-8年级的青少年（N = 1.213）被要求报告他们与同性和异性同龄人的性骚扰行为：他们的青春期发展。以及同伴网络的性别构成。结果显示，跨性别骚扰与同性骚扰明显不同，从6年级到8年级的频率有所增加。并且与青春期成熟和参与混合性别同伴群体有关。本文讨论了发展情境模型对理解这种问题行为在青春期出现的影响。
The goal of this study was to examine sexual harassment in early adolescence, Available data indicate that peer to peer sexual harassment is prevalent in high school and is associated with psychosocial problems for both victims and perpetrators. For the present study. we adopted a developmental contextual model to examine the possibility that this behavior develops during the late elementary and middle school years and is linked to the biological and social changes that occur at this time. Youths from Grades 6-8 (N = 1.213) enrolled in seven elementary and middle schools in a large south-central Canadian city were asked to report on their sexual harassment behaviors with same-and cross-gender peers: their pubertal development. and the gender composition of their peer network. The results revealed that cross-gender harassment was distinct from same-gender harassment, increased in frequency from Grade 6 to Grade 8. and was linked to pubertal maturation and participation in mixed-gender peer groups. The implications of a developmental contextual model for understanding the emergence of this problematic behavior in adolescence are discussed.
