童年期儿童同情与同伴侵害:应对策略的中介效应

Children’s Sympathy and Peer Aggression:Mediating Effect of Coping Strategy

以934名3—6年级儿童为被试,运用同情量表、应对策略问卷和多维同伴侵害量表进行测量,考察儿童同情的一般特征以及应对策略在儿童同情与同伴侵害关系间的中介作用。结果表明:(1)女生同情显著高于男生,且随年龄增长而下降,男生同情发展相对稳定;(2)儿童同情显著负向预测外化策略;(3)儿童同情通过外化策略的中介间接作用于同伴侵害。这表明小学阶段,女生同情显著高于男生,同情通过外化策略的中介间接影响同伴侵害。

The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of children’s sympathy and further explored the mediating role of coping. The participants were 934 children graded 3 to 6 from two primary schools, and three questionnaires were used in this study: Child-Report Sympathy Scale, The Self-Report Coping Measure, and Multidimensional Peer Victimization Scale(revised Chinese version). The results indicated:(1) Girls had higher levels of sympathy than boys. The level of girls’ sympathy decreased with ages while that of the boys’ sympathy was relatively stable.(2) Children’s sympathy had significant negative effect on externalizing.(3) Children’s sympathy had indirect effect on peer victimization through externalizing. This Shows that Girls had higher levels of sympathy than boys in primary schools. Sympathy had indirect effect on peer victimization through externalizing.
