最近的研究表明,欺凌受害会增加青少年携带手枪的风险。然而,几乎没有研究考虑过不同类型的欺凌受害(即,物理,口头,网络)塑造年轻人携带手枪的行为。了解这些关系可以,然而,告知针对年轻人携带手枪的机会和动机的干预措施。这项研究的目的是双重的。首先,我们确定欺凌受害和青少年携带手枪之间是否有关系。第二,我们试图确定某些类型的欺凌受害是否与携带手枪的关系比其他类型更强,使用2022年佛罗里达州青少年药物滥用调查的数据(FYSAS,n=47,572),佛罗里达州中学生和高中生的全州代表性样本。多项回归模型的结果表明,在过去的12个月中,物理欺凌和网络欺凌受害与携带手枪的风险增加有关。强调全面反欺凌干预措施的重要性的干预措施不仅可以解决青少年的传统身体侵略问题,还可以减轻无人监督的数字空间带来的不断发展的挑战,这可能会降低携带手枪的风险。
Recent research suggests that bullying
victimization increases the risk of handgun carrying among adolescents. Yet, little to no research has considered whether different types of bullying
victimization (i.e., physical, verbal, cyber) shape handgun-carrying behaviors among youth. Understanding these relationships can, however, inform intervention efforts addressing youths\' access to and motives for carrying handguns. The purposes of this study are twofold. First, we establish whether there is a relationship between bullying
victimization and youth handgun carrying. Second, we seek to determine whether certain types of bullying
victimization are associated more strongly with handgun carrying than others, using data from the 2022 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey (FYSAS, n = 47,572), a statewide representative sample of Florida middle school and high school students. The results from multinomial regression models indicate that physical bullying and cyberbullying
victimization were associated with an elevated risk of carrying a handgun in the past 12 months. Interventions that underscore the importance of comprehensive anti-bullying interventions that not only address traditional physical aggression among adolescents but also mitigate the evolving challenges posed by unsupervised digital spaces may reduce the risk of handgun carrying.
