Abstract

This study examines to what extent peer relationships mitigate the effects of emotional maltreatment on self-esteem among adolescents who remained with their parents after a child maltreatment investigation. Its second aim is to explore how gender, race, and ethnicity moderate the association between peer relationships and self-esteem. The study sample consists of adolescents between 11 and 17 living with a biological parent after the initial CPS investigation from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-being II. The analysis is limited to the cases with valid responses on youth-reported emotional maltreatment, negative self-esteem, and peer relationships at Wave 2 and demographic data and child welfare involvement in Wave 1, yielding 393 adolescents. Findings confirm the protective effects of peer relationships and the adverse effects of emotional maltreatment on self-esteem. The impact of peer relationships is significantly more robust among female and Hispanic adolescents. Implications for practice include peer-based interventions and preventive services.

研究同伴关系对高风险青少年消极自尊的保护作用：性别与种族的相互作用

本研究探讨了同伴关系在多大程度上减轻了情感虐待对青少年自尊心的影响，这些青少年在接受虐待儿童调查后仍与父母在一起。研究的第二个目的是探讨性别、种族和民族如何调节同伴关系与自尊之间的关系。研究样本由《全国儿童和青少年福利调查 II》（National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-being II）中接受 CPS 初步调查后仍与亲生父母生活在一起的 11 至 17 岁青少年组成。分析对象仅限于在第二波中对青少年报告的情感虐待、负自尊和同伴关系做出有效回答的案例，以及在第一波中对人口统计学数据和儿童福利参与情况做出有效回答的案例，共计 393 名青少年。研究结果证实了同伴关系的保护作用和情感虐待对自尊的负面影响。同伴关系对女性和西班牙裔青少年的影响明显更大。对实践的影响包括基于同伴的干预和预防服务。
