Abstract

The study aimed to determine the mediating and/or moderating associations of perceived parent attachment and peer attachment dimensions (trust, communication, alienation) with bullying experiences (perpetration and/or victimisation). Data were collected from 465 Sesotho-speaking learners (10 – 12 years; female = 274; male = 191). Participants completed the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment Revised for Children and the Adolescent Peer Relations Instrument: Bully/Target. Multiple hierarchical regression analyses indicated a significant negative association between parent attachment and bullying perpetration only, and between peer attachment and bullying perpetration and/or victimisation (except for peer alienation and bullying perpetration). Parent attachment was not differentially associated with bullying experiences among boys and girls. Peer attachment dimensions did not mediate or moderate the association between parent attachment and bullying perpetration and/or victimisation. Anti-bullying interventions should prioritise peer attachment resources, which is proximal in the development of pre-adolescents and their lived school life.

学龄前青少年欺凌经历中的父母依恋和同伴依恋

本研究旨在确定感知父母依恋和同伴依恋维度(信任、沟通、异化)与欺凌经历(犯罪和/或受害)之间的中介和/或调节关系。数据收集自465名说塞索索语的学习者(10 - 12岁;女性= 274;男性= 191)。参与者完成了《儿童父母与同伴依恋量表》和《青少年同伴关系量表:欺负者/目标》。多元层次回归分析表明，父母依恋与霸凌行为之间存在显著负相关，同伴依恋与霸凌行为和/或受害行为之间存在显著负相关(同伴疏远和霸凌行为除外)。父母依恋与男孩和女孩的欺凌经历没有差异。同伴依恋维度并没有调解或调节父母依恋与欺凌行为和/或受害之间的关联。反欺凌干预应优先考虑同伴依恋资源，这在青春期前的发展和他们的学校生活中是最接近的。
