本研究在典型发育青少年中考察了睡眠的多个指标作为同伴伤害和适应之间关系的调节因子。参与者包括252名青少年（M= 15.79岁；66%为欧洲裔美国人，34%为非洲裔美国人）及其父母。采用多方法、多信息设计来解决研究问题。客观地用活动记录仪（睡眠时间和睡眠效率）评估睡眠，主观地用自我报告评估。青少年报告同伴受害和内化症状。外化行为通过母亲和父亲的报告进行检查。主观睡眠/清醒问题调节同伴受害与内化和外化症状之间的关联。在报告睡眠/觉醒问题水平较高与较低的青少年中，同伴受害与内化症状之间存在更强的关系。睡眠/觉醒问题严重的青少年在同伴伤害范围内的外化症状水平较高。然而，对于那些睡眠/觉醒问题较少的人来说，同伴受害与外化症状之间存在正相关关系。基于活动记录的睡眠时间和睡眠效率也调节同伴伤害和内化症状之间的关系。虽然同伴受害与所有青少年较高程度的内化症状有关，但那些报告此类症状最低程度的人睡眠时间更长、效率更高，同时同伴受害程度也较低。研究结果新颖，强调了在预测青少年适应时考虑生物调节过程和同伴关系的重要性。
The present study examined multiple indices of sleep as moderators of the association between peer victimization and adjustment among typically developing adolescents. Participants included 252 adolescents (M= 15.79 years; 66 % European American, 34 % African American) and their parents. A multi-method, multi-informant design was employed to address the research questions. Sleep was assessed objectively with actigraphy (sleep minutes and sleep efficiency) and subjectively with self-reports. Adolescents reported on peer victimization and internalizing symptoms. Externalizing behaviors were examined with mother and father reports. Subjective sleep/wake problems moderated the associations between peer victimization and internalizing and externalizing symptoms. A stronger relation emerged between peer victimization and internalizing symptoms among adolescents who reported higher versus lower levels of sleep/wake problems. Adolescents with elevated sleep/wake problems had higher levels of externalizing symptoms across the range of peer victimization. However, for those with fewer sleep/wake problems, a positive relation between peer victimization and externalizing symptoms was observed. Actigraphy-based sleep minutes and sleep efficiency also moderated the relations between peer victimization and internalizing symptoms. Although peer victimization was associated with higher levels of internalizing symptoms for all youth, those who reported the lowest levels of such symptoms had longer and more efficient sleep in conjunction with low levels of peer victimization. Findings are novel and highlight the importance of considering both bioregulatory processes and peer relations in the prediction of adolescents’ adjustment.
