Abstract

This study aims to examine co-occurrence patterns of depression and anxiety among Chinese adolescents and their associations with various forms of peer victimization. We collected longitudinal data from 1005 middle school students using the Multidimensional Peer Victimization Scale, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Then we conducted latent profile analysis, latent transition analysis, and logistic regression analysis. The results reveal the presence of three depression-anxiety profiles among participants: low depression-anxiety group, moderate depression-anxiety group, and high depression-anxiety group. As verbal and relational victimization increase, adolescents are more likely to transition to a higher level of depression-anxiety profile. However, an increase in physical and property victimization predicts a transition to a lower level of depression-anxiety profile. The diverse effects resulting from different forms of victimization exhibit gender differences. For boys, an increase in relational victimization made participants in the moderate depression-anxiety group more likely to transition to the high depression-anxiety group, whereas this effect was not significant among girls. This study is theoretically significant for understanding the link between depression, anxiety, and their influencing factors. It suggests that educators, while addressing verbal and relational harm in adolescents, should reconsider the potential impact of physical and property harm. Opportunities to transform negative events into positive ones should be explored. Educators should tailor their focus based on gender, with a particular emphasis on addressing relational harm among male students. This underscores the need for differentiated approaches to effectively support students.

解码不同形式的同伴伤害对中国青少年抑郁和焦虑的影响:通过潜在转变分析进行探索。
本研究旨在探讨中国青少年抑郁和焦虑的共存模式及其与各种形式的同伴伤害之间的关联。我们使用多维同伴伤害量表、流行病学研究中心抑郁量表和状态-特质焦虑量表收集了 1005 名中学生的纵向数据。然后,我们进行了潜在特征分析、潜在转换分析和逻辑回归分析。结果显示,参与者存在三种抑郁-焦虑特征:低度抑郁-焦虑组、中度抑郁-焦虑组和高度抑郁-焦虑组。随着言语和关系伤害的增加,青少年更有可能过渡到较高的抑郁-焦虑状况。然而,身体和财产伤害的增加则预示着青少年会过渡到较低的抑郁-焦虑程度。不同形式的受害所产生的不同影响表现出性别差异。对于男生来说,关系伤害的增加使中度抑郁焦虑组的参与者更有可能过渡到高度抑郁焦虑组,而这一影响在女生中并不显著。这项研究对于理解抑郁、焦虑及其影响因素之间的联系具有重要的理论意义。它建议教育工作者在处理青少年的言语和关系伤害时,应重新考虑身体和财产伤害的潜在影响。应探索将消极事件转化为积极事件的机会。教育工作者应根据性别调整工作重点,尤其要重视解决男学生中的关系伤害问题。这凸显了采取不同方法有效支持学生的必要性。
