Abstract：
Bullying has been associated with status goals among peers, but this research has not distinguished among forms of bullying, nor included actual status or popularity among peers in an integrated analysis. To this aim, in concurrent correlational data, we examined adolescent status goals as predictors of peer-reported physical, verbal, exclusionary and electronic bullying, and these further as predictors of popularity and peer rejection (N = 256; 67.2% girls; M age = 12.2 years). We also explored potential indirect associations of status goals with popularity and peer rejection via forms of bullying. The findings indicated that verbal bullying was the most common form of bullying. Status goals were positively related to all but physical bullying, yet only verbal bullying partially mediated this association with popularity. Electronic bullying was unrelated to popularity and peer rejection, when controlling for other bullying forms (but was positively related to rejection at the bi-variate level). The findings underscore the importance of assessing bullying as a heterogeneous construct, as related goals and adjustment among peers may depend on its specific form.
摘要：
欺凌与同龄人之间的地位目标有关，但是这项研究没有区分欺凌的形式，也没有在综合分析中包括同行之间的实际地位或受欢迎程度。为了这个目标,在并发相关数据中，我们检查了青少年状态目标作为同伴报告的身体预测因子，口头,排斥性和电子欺凌，这些进一步预测了受欢迎程度和同伴排斥（N=256；67.2％的女孩；M年龄=12.2岁）。我们还通过欺凌的形式探索了状态目标与受欢迎程度和同伴拒绝之间的潜在间接关联。研究结果表明，言语欺凌是最常见的欺凌形式。状态目标与身体欺凌呈正相关，然而，只有口头欺凌部分介导了这种与受欢迎程度的联系。电子欺凌与受欢迎程度和同伴拒绝无关，当控制其他欺凌形式时(但在双变量水平上与拒绝呈正相关)。这些发现强调了将欺凌评估为异质结构的重要性，因为相关的目标和同行之间的调整可能取决于其具体形式。
