Abstract

Bullying victimization remains to be a public health concern in the United States, especially among sexual and ethnic minority youth. However, few studies have examined how school outcomes might be associated with bullying victimization among heterosexual and sexual minority African American youth and the factors that may attenuate that relationship. To address this gap, this study surveyed 462 heterosexual and 102 sexual minority African American youth residing in Chicago’s Southside neighborhoods, who participated in the Resiliency Project. Study variables included bullying victimization, school outcomes (i.e., school connectedness, and academic grades), and future orientation. Bullying victimization was associated with a significant increase in feeling disconnected from school among both heterosexual and sexual minority adolescents; however, there was no significant association observed between bullying victimization and receiving low grades among either group. Future orientation did not moderate the association between bullying victimization and school outcomes among heterosexual adolescents; however, positive future orientation did attenuate the association between bullying victimization and feeling disconnected from school among sexual minority adolescents. Prevention programs that focus on promoting school connectedness need to consider the role of future orientation for sexual minority youth.

作为欺凌受害者和学校成绩的调节者的未来取向：城市非裔美国异性恋和性少数群体青少年的比较

在美国，欺凌受害者仍然是一个公共卫生问题，尤其是在性青年和少数族裔青年中。然而，很少有研究调查学校成绩如何与异性恋和性少数族裔非裔美国青年的欺凌受害有关，以及可能削弱这种关系的因素。为了解决这一差距，这项研究调查了居住在芝加哥南区的462名异性恋和102名性少数族裔非裔美国青年，他们参与了韧性项目。研究变量包括欺凌受害情况、学校成绩（即学校联系和学业成绩）和未来取向。在异性恋和性少数群体青少年中，欺凌受害者与与学校脱节的感觉显著增加有关；然而，在任何一组中，欺凌受害与获得低分之间都没有观察到显著的关联。在异性恋青少年中，未来取向并不能缓和欺凌受害与学校成绩之间的联系；然而，在性少数群体青少年中，积极的未来取向确实削弱了欺凌受害和与学校脱节之间的联系。侧重于促进学校联系的预防计划需要考虑性少数群体青年未来取向的作用。

期刊介绍： Education and Urban Society (EUS) is a multidisciplinary journal that examines the role of education as a social institution in an increasingly urban and multicultural society. To this end, EUS publishes articles exploring the functions of educational institutions, policies, and processes in light of national concerns for improving the environment of urban schools that seek to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. EUS welcomes articles based on practice and research with an explicit urban context or component that examine the role of education from a variety of perspectives including, but not limited to, those based on empirical analyses, action research, and ethnographic perspectives as well as those that view education from philosophical, historical, policy, and/or legal points of view.lyses.
