Abstract

Psychologically violent behavior among children in sports is often studied within two separate silos: psychological violence (PV) and psychological bullying. This division has resulted in largely isolated fields of research and intervention. Examining the operationalization of both PV and psychological bullying together can contribute to the development of more comprehensive interventions for preventing psychologically violent behavior among children in sports. This systematic review aims to explore how qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies have operationalized and measured psychologically violent behavior in youth sports. Twenty-five publications, published between 2008 and 2022, were analyzed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The findings highlight the need to address a broader range of psychologically violent behaviors among children in sports, including inciting peers to engage in doping practices and promoting harmful weight-gain or weight-cutting behaviors. The results suggest the importance of adopting an integrated prevention approach to tackle PV and psychological bullying in youth sports. Such an approach should consider the roles of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders, while also accounting for the influence of peer relationships and the critical need for adequate support and education. Fostering a safe sports environment requires collaborative efforts, where young athletes are encouraged to use their influence constructively, and responsibility is shared among coaches, athletes, parents, and other key stakeholders within the sports community.

体育运动中儿童的心理暴力和心理欺凌：一项系统综述

体育运动中儿童的心理暴力行为通常分为两个独立的领域：心理暴力（PV）和心理欺凌。这种划分导致了研究和干预领域在很大程度上是孤立的。同时检查PV和心理欺凌的操作可以有助于制定更全面的干预措施，以预防儿童在体育运动中的心理暴力行为。本系统综述旨在探讨定性、定量和混合方法研究如何在青少年体育运动中运作和测量心理暴力行为。使用系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南对2008年至2022年间发表的25篇出版物进行了分析。研究结果强调，需要解决儿童在体育运动中更广泛的心理暴力行为，包括煽动同龄人服用兴奋剂，促进有害的体重增加或减肥行为。结果表明，采取综合预防措施来解决青少年体育运动中的PV和心理欺凌的重要性。这种办法应考虑到受害者、加害者和旁观者的作用，同时也考虑到同伴关系的影响以及对充分支持和教育的迫切需要。营造一个安全的体育环境需要共同努力，鼓励年轻运动员建设性地运用他们的影响力，教练、运动员、家长和体育界的其他关键利益相关者共同承担责任。
