虽然先前的研究已经证明同伴影响青少年时期的身体攻击和暴力暴露，但很少有研究调查同伴在身体攻击和暴力暴露之间的关系中发挥作用的程度。这项纵向研究考察了同伴对打架的压力、朋友的犯罪行为和朋友对打架的支持，作为目睹和受害的暴力暴露与青少年身体攻击频率之间关系的中介。参与者是在三所城市中学就读的2,707名青少年（性别= 12.4；52%为女性；79%为非裔美国人，17%为西班牙裔/拉丁裔）。参与者在同一学年的四个阶段完成了身体攻击频率、目睹社区暴力、暴力受害、负面生活事件和同伴变量的测量。交叉滞后分析表明，同伴变量作为中介的作用随着暴露类型和影响方向的变化而变化。而同伴压力在目睹暴力与身体攻击变化之间起中介作用，朋友不良行为在目睹暴力与受害变化之间起中介作用。相比之下，当暴力受害与目睹暴力被纳入同一模型时，暴力受害与任何同伴因素的变化都没有关联。这些发现强调了同伴的作用，既是青少年攻击性行为和暴力暴露的原因，也是后果。他们建议将同伴变量作为干预的目标，以破坏青春期早期接触暴力和身体攻击之间的联系。
Although prior research has demonstrated that peers influence both physical aggression and exposure to violence during adolescence, few studies have investigated the extent to which peers play a role in relations between physical aggression and violence exposure. This longitudinal study examined peer pressure for fighting, friends’ delinquent behavior, and friends’ support for fighting as mediators of relations between exposure to violence through witnessing and victimization, and adolescents’ frequency of physical aggression. Participants were 2,707 adolescents attending three urban middle schools (Mage = 12.4; 52% female; 79% African American, 17% Hispanic/Latino). Participants completed measures of their frequency of physical aggression, witnessing community violence, victimization by violence, and negative life events, and peer variables at four waves within the same school year. Cross-lagged analyses indicated that the role of peer variables as mediators varied as a function of the type of exposure and the direction of effects. Whereas peer pressure for fighting mediated relations between witnessing violence and changes in physical aggression, friends’ delinquent behavior mediated relations between physical aggression and changes in witnessing violence and victimization. In contrast, violent victimization was not associated with changes in any of the peer factors when included in the same model as witnessing violence. These findings highlight the role of peers as both a cause and a consequence of adolescents’ aggressive behavior and exposure to violence. They suggest focusing on peer variables as targets for interventions to disrupt connections between exposure to violence and physical aggression during early adolescence.
