Abstract

Previous studies have indicated that youth in care may represent a high-risk group for bullying victimization. So far, research has focused primarily on problem behavior rather than on potential personal or social resources of youth in care, particularly in the context of bullying victimization. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether youth in care are more likely to experience bullying victimization. Furthermore, it was analyzed if personal and social resources were protective of bullying victimization and whether these associations were moderated by family placement while controlling for lifetime poly-victimization. An online survey was completed by n = 119 youth in care and n = 110 youth in biological families in Germany - with or without a social/biological caregiver. Overall, the results showed that youth in care were 7.41 times more likely to experience bullying victimization than youth in biological families. Personal and social resources did add to the explained variance of current bullying victimization beyond lifetime poly-victimization in the child’s report. In particular, low levels of child-reported parental support and school integration were associated with more bullying victimization. These associations were not moderated by family placement, indicating similar effects for both, youth in care and youth in biological families.

欺凌受害者与家庭外护理：个人和社会资源的作用？

以往的研究表明，受看护青少年可能是遭受欺凌的高危人群。迄今为止，研究主要集中在问题行为上，而不是受照料青少年潜在的个人或社会资源上，尤其是在欺凌受害的背景下。因此，本研究的目的是探讨受照料青少年是否更有可能遭受欺凌。此外，研究还分析了个人和社会资源是否对欺凌受害具有保护作用，以及在控制终生多重受害的情况下，这些关联是否会受到家庭安置的调节。在德国，有或没有社会/生身父母照顾者的 119 名被照顾青少年和 110 名生身父母家庭的青少年完成了一项在线调查。总体而言，调查结果显示，与亲生家庭中的青少年相比，受监护青少年遭受欺凌的可能性要高出7.41倍。在儿童的报告中，个人和社会资源确实增加了当前欺凌受害情况的解释变异，超过了终生多重受害的解释变异。特别是，儿童报告的父母支持和学校融合程度低与更多的欺凌受害相关。这些关联并不受家庭安置的影响，这表明对受照料青少年和亲生家庭青少年的影响相似。

期刊介绍： Journal of Child and Family Studies (JCFS) international, peer-reviewed forum for topical issues pertaining to the behavioral health and well-being of children, adolescents, and their families. Interdisciplinary and ecological in approach, the journal focuses on individual, family, and community contexts that influence child, youth, and family well-being and translates research results into practical applications for providers, program implementers, and policymakers. Original papers address applied and translational research, program evaluation, service delivery, and policy matters that affect child, youth, and family well-being. Topic areas include but are not limited to: enhancing child, youth/young adult, parent, caregiver, and/or family functioning; prevention and intervention related to social, emotional, or behavioral functioning in children, youth, and families; cumulative effects of risk and protective factors on behavioral health, development, and well-being; the effects both of exposure to adverse childhood events and assets/protective factors; child abuse and neglect, housing instability and homelessness, and related ecological factors influencing child and family outcomes.
