Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the link between suicidal ideation, psychological morbidity and experiences with peer violence (victim or perpetrator) among adolescents. This study examined direct and indirect violence separately. A sample of 361 high school students from France completed a self-administered survey consisting of the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the General Health Questionnaire. Indirect peer victimization experienced by girls and direct peer victimization experienced by boys were more strongly linked to suicidal thoughts. Indirect aggression was also related to suicidal ideation among boys only. Indirect victimization at school was linked to a drop in self-esteem, a factor strongly related to the level of suicidal ideation, particularly for boys. These findings show that adolescent peer violence must be given particular attention in educational institutions due to its links not only with suicidal ideation, but also more broadly with students’ psychological distress.

法国青少年同伴暴力、心理健康和自杀意念的研究

本研究旨在探讨青少年自杀意念、心理疾病和同伴暴力经历(受害者或施暴者)之间的关系。这项研究分别调查了直接暴力和间接暴力。以361名法国高中生为研究对象，完成了自杀意念问卷、罗森博格自尊量表和一般健康问卷的自我调查。女孩经历的间接同伴伤害和男孩经历的直接同伴伤害与自杀念头的联系更强。间接攻击也仅与男孩的自杀意念有关。学校里的间接受害与自尊心的下降有关，自尊心的下降与自杀意念的水平密切相关，尤其是对男孩而言。这些发现表明，教育机构必须特别关注青少年同伴暴力，因为它不仅与自杀意念有关，而且更广泛地与学生的心理困扰有关。
