This study investigates the distinctive direct and indirect relationship between peer victimization, online victimization, and adolescents’ psychological distress through the potential chain mediation of social anxiety and withdrawal and the moderating role of gender differences. A total of 974 students from 6 elementary and junior high schools completed the self-report questionnaire in a cross-sectional survey. This study adopts structural equation modeling to examine the hypothesized model. Results show that peer victimization directly influences adolescents’ psychological distress, with stronger effects of peer victimization than online victimization. Social anxiety and social withdrawal mediate the relationship between peer victimization, online victimization, and psychological distress. In addition, the chain mediating mechanism of social anxiety and withdrawal functions in the relationship between peer victimization, online victimization, and psychological distress. Finally, females are more vulnerable to the effect of peer victimization on adolescents’ psychological distress. The research deepens the knowledge of the unique effects of peer and online victimization, as well as the underlying mechanisms of social anxiety and withdrawal. This study also provides practical implications for policies, schools, and social workers for the prevention and intervention of victimization in adolescents and the promotion of their well-being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 107989"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to present an overview of research-based knowledge on the intervention in the Nordic countries. A thorough integrative literature review for the period January 2010 to September 2022 produced 16 scientific publications. There were no academic publications available for Denmark during this period. The review focused on research carried out in Sweden (10 publications), Finland (5), and Norway (1). All studies on the CPI are descriptive and explorative and mainly focus on tracing the historical background of the intervention.
