Abstract

Abstract:The goal of this study was to examine how individual differences in physiological arousal and reactivity moderated the relation between peer victimization and reactive and proactive aggression. Participants were 58 adolescents (61.2% boys; 54.9% African American) in the age range of 12–15. Participants self-reported peer victimization, reactive aggression, and proactive aggression. Cortisol and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) were measured from participants before and during an online game in which they were socially rejected by unfamiliar peers. Results indicated that the relation between peer victimization with reactive aggression was significant and positive at low levels of resting RSA and when RSA withdrawal after rejection was high. The association between peer victimization with reactive and proactive aggression was also significant and positive at high levels of anticipatory cortisol. Findings provide further insight into the moderating role that physiological processes may have in understanding individual differences to peer adversity.

同伴伤害与攻击:生理唤醒和反应的调节作用

摘要:本研究旨在探讨生理唤醒和反应性的个体差异如何调节同伴伤害与反应性和主动性攻击之间的关系。参与者为58名青少年(61.2%为男孩;54.9%是非裔美国人)，年龄在12-15岁之间。参与者自我报告同伴伤害、反应性攻击和主动攻击。皮质醇和呼吸性窦性心律失常(RSA)是在参与者被不熟悉的同伴拒绝的网络游戏之前和期间测量的。结果表明，同伴伤害与反应性攻击之间存在显著正相关。在高水平的预期皮质醇水平下，同伴伤害与反应性和主动性攻击之间的关联也显著且正。研究结果进一步揭示了生理过程在理解个体差异对同伴逆境的调节作用。
