Abstract

Mutual antipathies are characterized by reciprocated disliking. The current study identifies behavioral attributes that forecast participation in mutual antipathies. Participants were 313 (170 girls, 143 boys) Florida public school students (9–14 years old; M_age = 11.09, SD_age = 0.90) who thrice nominated disliked classmates during a single school year (approximately 6.5 weeks apart). Behavioral attributes assayed in the fall semester identified those currently involved in mutual antipathies (N = 101 dyads) and those prospectively involved in new mutual antipathies (N = 124 dyads). Youth involved in existing and new mutual antipathies were characterized by (a) low peer-reported academic achievement and prosocial behavior (prospective only, p = 0.06), (b) high peer-reported disruptiveness and aggression, and (c) high self-reported emotional problems (concurrent only) and emotional reactivity (prospective only). Thus, youth who behave in unattractive ways are disliked and they tend to return the sentiment.

错误的东西：青少年相互反感同伴关系的特点

相互反感的特点是相互不喜欢。目前的研究确定了预测相互反感参与的行为属性。参与者是313名（170名女孩，143名男孩）佛罗里达州公立学校的学生(9-14岁；法师= 11.09,SDage = 0.90)，他在一个学年（大约间隔6.5周）内提名了三次不喜欢的同学。在秋季学期进行的行为特征分析确定了那些目前参与相互反感的人（N = 101对）和那些可能参与新的相互反感的人（N = 124对）。涉及现有和新的相互反感的青少年具有以下特征：(a)低同伴报告的学业成就和亲社会行为（仅前瞻性，p = 0.06）， (b)高同伴报告的破坏性和攻击性，以及(c)高自我报告的情绪问题（仅并发）和情绪反应（仅前瞻性）。因此，那些行为不吸引人的年轻人不受欢迎，他们倾向于回报这种情绪。

期刊介绍： Journal of Youth and Adolescence provides a single, high-level medium of communication for psychologists, psychiatrists, biologists, criminologists, educators, and researchers in many other allied disciplines who address the subject of youth and adolescence. The journal publishes quantitative analyses, theoretical papers, and comprehensive review articles. The journal especially welcomes empirically rigorous papers that take policy implications seriously. Research need not have been designed to address policy needs, but manuscripts must address implications for the manner society formally (e.g., through laws, policies or regulations) or informally (e.g., through parents, peers, and social institutions) responds to the period of youth and adolescence.
