目标。本研究的目的是从一项多代研究中描述儿童中欺凌行为(即欺凌和欺负)的流行率，并检验这些童年行为与亲密伴侣暴力暴露之间的关系。方法：对112名6至13岁的社区儿童进行自我报告，以了解他们在过去一年中经历的身体、言语和关系类型的欺凌和欺负。父母使用Achenbach的儿童行为检查表中的条目报告了他们的孩子在过去6个月中的外化和内化行为。用冲突策略量表条目测量前5年中父母在前两个时间点发生亲密伴侣暴力、实施暴力和受伤害的频率。调查了亲密伴侣暴力和父母报告的儿童行为问题之间的联系，其次是暴露于亲密伴侣暴力和儿童报告的欺凌或受害。结果：82名儿童(73.2%)报告受到同伴欺负，38名儿童(33.9%)报告在过去一年中有欺负行为。女孩的报告比男孩多(55%的人受到伤害，61%的人受到欺凌)。几乎所有(97%)欺凌儿童的人本身也是受害者。在这两个时间点中，53个(50.5%)家庭的父母报告了亲密伴侣的暴力行为。暴露于亲密伴侣暴力与儿童报告的关系欺凌行为或同伴受害无关，然而，暴露于亲密伴侣暴力的儿童更容易出现问题程度的外化行为/身体攻击和内化行为。结论：在我们的样本中，6至13岁的儿童报告了大量的欺凌和受害；大多数是欺凌受害者和女性。回归分析没有表明，接触亲密伴侣暴力的儿童更有可能参与关系欺凌。然而，暴露在亲密伴侣暴力中的儿童更有可能内化行为和身体攻击。
OBJECTIVE. Our objectives with this study were to describe the prevalence of bullying involvement (ie, bullying and victimization) among children from a multigenerational study and to examine the relationship of these childhood behaviors and exposure to intimate partner violence.METHODS. A community-based cohort of 112 children (aged 6 to 13 years) was asked to self-report on physical, verbal, and relational types of bullying and victimization experienced in the past year. Parents reported on their child's externalizing and internalizing behaviors during the previous 6 months using items from Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist. The frequency of parental experiences of intimate partner violence perpetration and victimization at 2 time points during the preceding 5 years was measured using Conflict Tactics Scale items. The association of intimate partner violence and parent-reported child behavioral problems was examined, followed by exposure to intimate partner violence and child-reported bullying or victimization. Parental risk factors (eg, race/ethnicity, education, problem drinking) that predispose to intimate partner violence were controlled for using propensity score statistical modeling.RESULTS. Eighty-two (73.2%) children reported being victimized by peers, and 38 (33.9%) children reported bullying behaviors in the past year. More reports came from girls than from boys (55% for victimization and 61% for bullying). Almost all (97%) child bullies were also victims themselves. Intimate partner violence was reported by parent respondents in 53 (50.5%) households at any or both of the 2 time points. Exposure to intimate partner violence was not associated with child-reported relational bullying behaviors or victimization by peers, However, intimate partner violence-exposed children were at increased risk for problematic levels of externalizing behavior/physical aggression and internalizing behaviors.CONCLUSIONS. In our sample, children who were 6 to 13 years of age reported a substantial amount of bullying and victimization; a large majority were bully-victims and female. Regression analyses did not show that children who were exposed to intimate partner violence were more likely to engage in relational bullying. However, children who are exposed to intimate partner violence have a higher likelihood of internalizing behaviors and physical aggression.
