Abstract

Objective: The main aim of this study was to investigate the mutual relationship between perceptions of peer relationship quality and position in positive and negative peer networks among young people from late childhood to early adolescence. Method: A cross-lagged panel model of three waves of data was conducted using a large representative sample of Polish students from third grade to sixth grade ( N = 4 673). Results: The results proved a reciprocal relationship between position in positive (Like) and negative (DisLike) peer networks and the perceived quality of peer relationships (PPI). The effect found of position on the perceived quality of peer relationships is in line with the existing state of knowledge. Since previous research has yielded divergent results, this demonstration of the prospective impact of perceived relationship quality on peer network position fills an important cognitive gap. The study also revealed the following: (1) in the first (W1→W2) and second period (W2→W3) the strength of the prospective effects of position in the peer network on its perceived quality (Like→PPI and DisLike→PPI), and the strength of the prospective effects of perceived quality on position (PPI→Like and PPI→DisLike), were not statistically significantly different; (2) the effect size of the cross-lagged coefficients ranged from small to medium; (3) all constructs showed greater stability in the second period than in the first; (4) in both periods stability of PPI was lower than the stability of sociometric indicators. Conclusion: This research confirms the presence of a self-reinforcing loop: a low position in peer networks→poor perceived quality of relations→decrease of position in peer networks. The findings are discussed in relation to the evolutionary theory of loneliness (ETL), which assumes a potentially active role of the perception of peer relationships in forming a position in a peer network. Practical implications of the results are discussed.
从童年晚期到青春期早期对同伴关系质量和在同伴网络中地位的感知:采用交叉滞后面板模型的三波纵向研究
研究目的本研究的主要目的是调查童年晚期至青春期早期青少年对同伴关系质量的看法与在积极和消极同伴网络中的位置之间的相互关系。研究方法使用具有代表性的波兰三年级至六年级学生大样本(N = 4 673),对三轮数据进行交叉滞后面板模型分析。结果结果证明,在积极(喜欢)和消极(不喜欢)同伴网络中的位置与同伴关系感知质量(PPI)之间存在相互关系。位置对同伴关系感知质量的影响符合现有的知识水平。由于之前的研究得出了不同的结果,因此本研究证明了感知关系质量对同伴网络位置的前瞻性影响,填补了一项重要的认知空白。研究还揭示了以下几点:(1)在第一阶段(W1→W2)和第二阶段(W2→W3),同伴网络中的位置对其感知质量的前瞻性影响强度(Like→PPI 和 DisLike→PPI),以及感知质量对位置的前瞻性影响强度(PPI→Like 和 PPI→DisLike),在统计学上没有显著差异;(2) 交叉滞后系数的效应大小从小幅到中幅不等;(3) 所有构念在第二阶段都比第一阶段表现出更大的稳定性;(4) 在两个阶段,PPI 的稳定性都低于社会计量指标的稳定性。结论这项研究证实了自我强化循环的存在:在同伴网络中的地位低→对关系质量的感知差→在同伴网络中的地位下降。研究结果结合孤独进化论(ETL)进行了讨论,该理论认为对同伴关系的感知对形成同伴网络中的地位具有潜在的积极作用。还讨论了这些结果的实际意义。
