Abstract

This study examined three models (relationship-driven model, symptom-driven model and transactional model) testing the across-time bidirectional relations between psychological maltreatment by teachers and early adolescents' psychosocial adjustment (i.e., internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and academic achievement) during early adolescence. A total of 4169 Chinese early adolescents (M_age = 9.93 years, SD = 0.73, 54% males) completed assessments across five waves, every six months. Employing autoregressive latent trajectory models with structured residuals (ALT-SR), the results revealed that adolescents’ internalizing problems and academic achievement were predicted by psychological maltreatment by teachers (supporting the relationship-driven model), whereas externalizing problems and psychological maltreatment by teachers were bidirectionally related (supporting the transactional model). Moreover, sex moderated the relations between psychological maltreatment by teachers and psychosocial adjustment. The finding of differential relations between psychological maltreatment by teachers and three components of psychosocial adjustment (i.e., internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and academic achievement) indicated that prevention and interventions should be tailored to different psychosocial adjustment difficulties.

教师心理虐待与青少年早期社会心理适应之间的纵向双向关系

本研究通过三个模型（关系驱动模型、症状驱动模型和交易模型）检验了教师心理虐待与青少年早期心理社会适应（即内化问题、外化问题和学业成绩）之间的跨时间双向关系。共有4169名中国早期青少年（年龄=9.93岁，SD=0.73，54%为男性）完成了每六个月一次的五波评估。通过自回归潜在轨迹结构残差模型（ALT-SR），研究结果表明，青少年的内化问题和学业成绩受教师心理虐待的预测（支持关系驱动模型），而外化问题和教师心理虐待是双向关系（支持交易模型）。此外，性别也调节了教师心理虐待与心理社会适应之间的关系。教师的心理虐待与社会心理适应的三个组成部分（即内化问题、外化问题和学业成绩）之间的不同关系表明，应针对不同的社会心理适应困难采取相应的预防和干预措施。

期刊介绍： Social Science & Medicine provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of social science research on health. We publish original research articles (both empirical and theoretical), reviews, position papers and commentaries on health issues, to inform current research, policy and practice in all areas of common interest to social scientists, health practitioners, and policy makers. The journal publishes material relevant to any aspect of health from a wide range of social science disciplines (anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, policy, psychology, and sociology), and material relevant to the social sciences from any of the professions concerned with physical and mental health, health care, clinical practice, and health policy and organization. We encourage material which is of general interest to an international readership.
