Abstract

Abstract:Childhood peer victimization is prevalent and harmful; thus, it is critical to carefully assess this construct. We extended an existing measure to create the Forms of Peer Victimization Scale (FPVS), which assesses multiple forms of peer victimization via self and teacher report. Participants included 1,440 fourth-and fifth-grade children (50% girls; M age = 10.1 years) and their teachers. They completed the FPVS in the fall and spring of one school year, as well as additional measures of peer victimization and psychosocial functioning. Results supported identical four-factor models for the self-and teacher-report scales. The four factors, aggregated as subscales (physical victimization, verbal victimization, social victimization, and property attacks), demonstrated internal consistency, temporal stability, and concurrent and convergent validity. The FPVS evidenced promising psychometric properties and stands out from other measures by assessing peer victimization (not bullying), including experiences of social rebuff, demonstrating temporal stability, and offering self-and teacher-report scales.

同伴受害量表的编制与验证

摘要:儿童同伴受害现象普遍存在，危害严重;因此，仔细评估这个结构是至关重要的。我们扩展了现有的测量方法，创建了同伴伤害形式量表(FPVS)，该量表通过自我和教师报告来评估多种形式的同伴伤害。参与者包括1440名四年级和五年级儿童(50%是女孩;年龄= 10.1岁)和他们的老师。他们在一个学年的秋季和春季完成了FPVS，以及同伴受害和心理社会功能的额外测量。结果支持相同的四因素模型的自我和教师报告量表。这四个因素以子量表(身体伤害、言语伤害、社会伤害和财产攻击)的形式汇总，表现出内部一致性、时间稳定性、并发效度和收敛效度。FPVS证明了有希望的心理测量特性，并通过评估同伴受害(不是欺凌)从其他测量中脱颖而出，包括社会拒绝的经历，展示时间稳定性，提供自我和教师报告量表。
