在青春期，被同伴拒绝与攻击性呈正相关。然而，被同伴拒绝或接受的自我认知以及这些认知中的偏见是否与攻击性有关仍不清楚，因为文献指出了两个观点：当青年（a）知道或相信他们被拒绝或（B）高估他们的接受程度时，他们更有可能具有攻击性。通过解决一些以前的研究的局限性，本研究的目的是澄清如何自我感知的地位是与并发和未来的侵略，以及是否高水平的侵略是有偏见的自我感知的接受和拒绝的预测。数据收集于连续2个学年的572名高中生（法师= 15.06，SD = 0.75; 55.4%为女生）。样本的种族/人种组成为47.5%亚裔、43.1%拉丁裔/西班牙裔、4.0%白色和5.3%其他。对于喜欢的青年，意识到自己的接受与并发的关系侵略呈正相关，而高度拒绝的青年，意识到自己的拒绝与并发的公开侵略呈正相关。被拒绝的意识（即，高水平的自我感知和实际拒绝）与随着时间的推移而升高的攻击水平有关。没有证据表明，青年与高水平的侵略有更多的偏见的看法，他们的地位（同时或纵向）比青年与低水平的侵略。这些发现有助于澄清青年的地位相关的看法与侵略的发展。
In adolescence, being rejected by one’s peers is positively associated with aggression. However, whether self-perceptions of being rejected or accepted by peers, and biases in these perceptions, are linked to aggression remains unclear, as the literature points to 2 perspectives: Youth are more likely to be aggressive when they (a) know or believe that they are rejected or (b) overestimate their acceptance. By addressing some of the limitations of prior studies, this study aimed to clarify how self-perceptions of status are related to concurrent and future aggression, and whether high levels of aggression are predictive of biased self-perceptions of acceptance and rejection. Data were collected in 2 consecutive school years from 572 high school students (Mage = 15.06, SD = .75; 55.4% girls). The ethnic/racial composition of the sample was 47.5% Asian, 43.1% Latino/Hispanic, 4.0% White, and 5.3% other. For well-liked youth, awareness of one’s acceptance was positively associated with concurrent relational aggression, whereas for highly rejected youth, awareness of one’s rejection was positively associated with concurrent overt aggression. Awareness of being rejected (i.e., high levels of both self-perceived and actual rejection) was associated with elevated levels of aggression over time. There was no evidence that youth with high levels of aggression had more biased perceptions of their status (concurrently or longitudinally) than youth with low levels of aggression. These findings help clarify how youth’s status-related perceptions relate to the development of aggression.
