Abstract

This study aimed to explore the types of psychological abuse and their relationship with internalising and externalising behaviours among Chinese junior middle school students (n = 619; male = 49.1%, female = 50.9%; mean age = 13.5 years, SD = 1.152 years). Latent profile analysis revealed four psychological abuse profiles: low, medium-low, medium-high, and high. Those students with high psychological abuse profiles also reported high internalising and externalising behaviours compared to those with lower psychological abuse profiles. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that gender and school grade differences had a significant impact on psychological abuse profiles. This finding suggested that boys were more likely to have a high psychological abuse profile than girls, and students in Grade 8 were more likely to have a high psychological abuse profile than students in Grade 9. Our findings underscore the importance of designing and implementing psychological abuse treatment interventions by profiles of the children for higher efficacy in reducing the risk of internalising and externalising behaviours.

学生的心理虐待、内化和外化行为:一个潜在的侧面分析

本研究旨在探讨中国初中生心理虐待类型及其与内化和外化行为的关系(n = 619;男性= 49.1%，女性= 50.9%;平均年龄= 13.5岁，SD = 1.152岁)。潜在性分析揭示了四种心理虐待特征:低、中低、中高和高。与心理虐待程度较低的学生相比，那些心理虐待程度较高的学生也报告了较高的内化和外化行为。多元逻辑回归分析显示，性别和年级差异对心理虐待有显著影响。这一发现表明，男孩比女孩更有可能有高度的心理虐待档案，八年级的学生比九年级的学生更有可能有高度的心理虐待档案。我们的研究结果强调了设计和实施儿童心理虐待治疗干预措施的重要性，以提高降低内化和外化行为风险的有效性。
