Many offenders against children use religion to facilitate abuse, which causes children spiritual harm. Moreover, child victims may generally suffer spiritual harm because abuse shakes their belief in a just and loving God. The spiritual harm is often exacerbated if the abuser is clergy and/or a congregation rallies around the abuser. Religion and spirituality can also be important resources for children’s recovery. This research assesses spiritual harm and healing encountered in Children’s Advocacy Centers (CAC), which coordinate the investigative and service response in thousands of child abuse cases. The project surveyed all 964 U.S. Children’s Advocacy Centers directors and 172 responded. The results indicate that, particularly in the Southern region, many CACs are seeing spiritual harm in their practice, and some are also witnessing spirituality used to help children heal. The most common responses to children raising a spiritual question were to recommend the child discuss it with their therapist and to refer the child to a local faith community, but the survey results suggest that most members of the multidisciplinary team, including therapists, lack training on spiritual care and most CACs have limited relationships with local faith communities. Over one-third of CAC directors either strongly or somewhat favored a spiritual care program or have implemented one, but a larger percentage were uncommitted. However, most respondents reported being interested in learning more and receiving resources and guidance, suggesting that the path is open for improvement in providing spiritual care to child victims in CACs.

许多侵犯儿童的罪犯利用宗教来促进虐待，这对儿童造成了精神伤害。此外，儿童受害者通常会遭受精神上的伤害，因为虐待动摇了他们对公正和慈爱的上帝的信仰。如果施虐者是神职人员和/或会众聚集在施虐者周围，精神伤害往往会加剧。宗教和精神也可以是儿童康复的重要资源。这项研究评估了儿童倡导中心（CAC）遇到的精神伤害和治疗，该中心协调了数千起儿童虐待案件的调查和服务反应。该项目调查了964名美国儿童倡导中心主任，其中172人做出了回应。结果表明，特别是在南部地区，许多cac在他们的实践中看到了精神上的伤害，有些人也看到了用于帮助儿童治愈的精神。对于孩子提出的精神问题，最常见的回应是建议孩子与他们的治疗师讨论这个问题，并将孩子转介到当地的信仰社区，但调查结果表明，包括治疗师在内的多学科团队的大多数成员缺乏精神护理方面的培训，而且大多数cac与当地信仰社区的关系有限。超过三分之一的CAC董事强烈或多少支持精神关怀计划，或者已经实施了一个，但更多的人没有承诺。然而，大多数答复者报告说，他们有兴趣了解更多情况并获得资源和指导，这表明，在为儿童福利院的受害儿童提供精神关怀方面，道路是开放的。

Violence against children (VAC) in alternative care settings, including foster care, residential care, and kinship care, is a significant global concern. This scoping review synthesises evidence from 77 studies published between 2014 and 2024 across high, middle, and low-income contexts, examining the forms, risk factors, consequences, protective features, and interventions associated with violence in care. In line with PRISMA-ScR guidance, the review maps patterns in the evidence base but does not estimate pooled prevalence across settings.

Neglect was the most frequently reported form of maltreatment, often linked to poverty and limited external support, including in some informal kinship care contexts. Residential settings were commonly associated with reports of physical abuse and peer violence, while findings on sexual abuse varied across contexts. Emotional abuse was reported in all care settings.

Identified risk factors included placement instability, inadequate caregiver support, poverty, and prior exposure to violence. Reported consequences ranged from poor mental health and disrupted relationships to heightened risks of revictimisation. Evidence on effective interventions was sparse, although supportive caregiver–child relationships and trauma-informed models were noted as protective.

Important gaps remain in longitudinal and disaggregated evidence, particularly in lowand middle-income contexts and with respect to peer violence, children with disabilities, and LGBTQI + youth. While this review focuses on violence, it is essential to caution that many children experience alternative care as protective and nurturing, and our findings should not be interpreted as suggesting that all care arrangements are harmful. Strengthening family-based care, ensuring robust oversight, embedding protective, child-centred practices, and prioritising reintegration where possible are critical to reducing risks and promoting children’s well-being.

在替代照料环境（包括寄养、寄宿照料和亲属照料）中对儿童的暴力行为是全球关注的一个重大问题。本范围审查综合了2014年至2024年期间在高、中、低收入背景下发表的77项研究的证据，审查了与护理中暴力相关的形式、风险因素、后果、保护特征和干预措施。与PRISMA-ScR指南一致，该综述绘制了证据库中的模式图，但没有估计不同环境下的总患病率。忽视是最常见的虐待形式，往往与贫穷和有限的外部支持有关，包括在一些非正式的亲属照料环境中。居住环境通常与身体虐待和同伴暴力的报告有关，而关于性虐待的调查结果因环境而异。所有护理机构都报告了精神虐待。确定的风险因素包括安置不稳定、照顾者支持不足、贫困和以前接触过暴力。报告的后果包括精神健康状况不佳和关系破裂，以及再次受害的风险增加。关于有效干预措施的证据很少，尽管支持性的照顾者-儿童关系和创伤知情模式被认为是有保护作用的。纵向和分类证据方面仍然存在重大差距，特别是在低收入和中等收入背景下以及同龄人暴力、残疾儿童和LGBTQI +青年方面。虽然这篇综述的重点是暴力，但有必要提醒的是，许多儿童经历了替代照料作为保护和培育，我们的研究结果不应被解释为表明所有照料安排都是有害的。加强以家庭为基础的照料，确保强有力的监督，嵌入保护性的、以儿童为中心的做法，并在可能的情况下优先考虑重返社会，这些对于减少风险和促进儿童福祉至关重要。

Although previous studies have confirmed that bystanders with high empathy are more inclined to actively intervene in bullying incidents. These investigations have primarily focused on the individual level, overlooking potential group-level influences and failing to explicitly distinguish between intervention tendency and actual intervention behavior. This study employed a longitudinal design to thoroughly investigate the mechanisms influencing bullying intervention behavior among elementary school students. During the initial measurement (T1), 1,105 students were systematically assessed for empathy, self-efficacy, peer networks, and bullying intervention tendency. A follow-up measurement (T2) conducted six weeks later involved 1,016 participants (M_age = 10.89, SD_age = 0.98) who were required to report their actual bullying intervention behavior during the preceding month. Social networks constructed through peer nominations identified 152 cliques, followed by multilevel linear model analysis. Results revealed that both T1 group empathy and T1 individual empathy significantly positively predicted T1 intervention tendency and T2 intervention behavior, while T1 intervention tendency itself positively predicted T2 intervention behavior. Furthermore, T1 self-efficacy moderated the relationship between T1 intervention tendency and T2 intervention behavior, indicating that self-efficacy facilitates the translation of intervention tendency into actual intervention behavior. This research transcends the individual-centered limitations of previous studies by revealing the independent effects of group empathy and the motivational regulatory mechanism of self-efficacy, thereby providing multi-level theoretical support for school bullying interventions.

虽然之前的研究已经证实，高同理心的旁观者更倾向于积极干预欺凌事件。这些调查主要集中在个人层面，忽视了潜在的群体层面的影响，未能明确区分干预倾向和实际干预行为。本研究采用纵向设计，深入探讨小学生欺凌干预行为的影响机制。在初始测量（T1）中，对1105名学生进行了共情、自我效能、同伴网络和欺凌干预倾向的系统评估。六周后进行的随访测量（T2）涉及1,016名参与者（Mage = 10.89, SDage = 0.98），他们被要求报告他们在前一个月的实际欺凌干预行为。通过同伴提名构建的社会网络确定了152个集团，然后进行了多层次线性模型分析。结果显示，T1群体共情和T1个体共情均显著正向预测T1干预倾向和T2干预行为，而T1干预倾向本身正向预测T2干预行为。T1自我效能调节T1干预倾向与T2干预行为的关系，说明自我效能有助于干预倾向转化为实际的干预行为。本研究突破了以往研究以个体为中心的局限，揭示了群体共情的独立作用和自我效能感的动机调节机制，为学校欺凌干预提供了多层次的理论支持。

Support for foster parents by youth welfare offices in Germany: a nationwide survey 德国青年福利机构对养父母的支持：一项全国性调查

Background

Caring for foster children is a challenging task that requires a broad scope of competencies, including parenting skills, navigation of the health, educational and legal system, to name but a few. In order to master this task, foster carers are in need of external support, which in most countries is mainly provided by youth welfare offices. For Germany, informative data on services for foster parents offered by youth welfare offices is lacking.

Objectives

This nationwide survey aimed to record (1) services offered to foster parents by youth welfare offices prior to and during placements, (2) predictors of service availability, (3) perceived needs for services beyond the current portfolio, and (4) current and future supply of foster parents.

Method

A self-designed questionnaire was mailed to all 577 youth welfare offices in Germany.

Results

A total of 215 responses (37.3%) were received. Prior to placements, counselling (94%), multi-session (77.2%) or single-session training events (63.7%), and informal exchange with other foster families (77.2%) were the services most frequently offered. During foster child placements, coaching and supervision were offered most frequently (74.2%). Regarding influencing factors, lower staff numbers were associated with reduced pre-placement counselling options, and rural office locations were associate with less counselling, coaching, family therapy and supervision offers. Suggestions for services beyond the current portfolio included self-help groups for foster carers, distinct parent trainings, support for specific audiences (e.g. kinship carers, families of origin), and respite care. Importantly, 90% of youth welfare offices reported current or imminent shortage of foster carers.

Conclusions

This study provides real-world insight into the spectrum of services available for foster carers in a large Western youth welfare system. Our results show that prior to placements, almost all youth welfares offices offer counselling for prospective foster carers, while during placements only about three quarters of offices provide coaching and supervision for foster carers. Given the substantial shortage of prospective foster carers in Germany, the portfolio of services on offer could be optimised, e.g. through online services for carers in rural areas, evidence-based parent training programs, and support options for specific audiences.

照顾寄养儿童是一项具有挑战性的任务，需要广泛的能力，包括育儿技能，健康，教育和法律体系的导航，仅举几例。为了完成这项任务，寄养照料者需要外部支持，在大多数国家，这种支持主要由青年福利办公室提供。就德国而言，缺乏关于青年福利办公室为养父母提供的服务的翔实数据。这项全国性的调查旨在记录(1)青少年福利办公室在安置前和安置期间为寄养父母提供的服务，(2)服务可用性的预测因素，(3)对当前组合之外的服务的感知需求，以及(4)寄养父母的当前和未来供应。方法自行设计问卷，邮寄至德国577个青少年福利办公室。结果共收到回复215份，占37.3%。在安置之前，咨询（94%）、多期（77.2%）或单期培训活动（63.7%）以及与其他寄养家庭的非正式交流（77.2%）是最常见的服务。在寄养儿童安置期间，指导和监督是最常见的（74.2%）。关于影响因素，工作人员人数较少与就业前咨询选择减少有关，农村办事处地点与咨询、指导、家庭治疗和监督服务减少有关。对现有组合之外的服务的建议包括为寄养照顾者提供自助小组、独特的父母培训、为特定对象（如亲属照顾者、原籍家庭）提供支持以及临时照顾。重要的是，90%的青少年福利办公室报告目前或即将短缺寄养照顾者。结论：本研究提供了对西方大型青年福利系统中寄养照顾者可用服务范围的真实见解。我们的研究结果表明，在安置之前，几乎所有的青年福利办公室都为未来的寄养照顾者提供咨询，而在安置期间，只有大约四分之三的办公室为寄养照顾者提供指导和监督。鉴于德国潜在寄养照顾者的严重短缺，可以优化所提供的服务组合，例如，通过为农村地区的照顾者提供在线服务、基于证据的父母培训计划以及为特定受众提供支持方案。

The present study examined the association between disability status and life satisfaction among young people (aged 15 to 24) in Canada, as well as interactions between resilience and disability status in relation to life satisfaction. Data from a cross-sectional national survey with Canadian participants were used to compare perceived life satisfaction among disabled and nondisabled young people (N = 1,323). Ordinary least squares regression was used to create four models representing the outcomes of life satisfaction with disability status, resilience, and the interaction between resilience and disability. Postestimation predictive margins and adjusted means were used to report differences in life satisfaction for disabled young people and their nondisabled peers across points of resilience. Life satisfaction was significantly lower for disabled young people compared with nondisabled young people, even after adjusting for health status, stress level, and sociodemographic characteristics (B = -3.621, t = -4.55, p < 0.001). After including resilience, disability status continued to be a significant predictor of life satisfaction, but the effect was mitigated (B = -2.39, t = -3.27, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in life satisfaction between disabled young people who reported high levels of resilience compared to nondisabled youth (z = 0.82, p = 0.41). These findings suggest that resilience may help narrow disparities in life satisfaction that reflect social and economic inequities rather than disability itself. Strengthening relational, community, and environmental supports that foster resilience may hold promise for promoting well-being among disabled young people within inclusive, supportive systems.

本研究考察了加拿大年轻人（15 - 24岁）残疾状况与生活满意度之间的关系，以及心理弹性和残疾状况与生活满意度之间的相互作用。来自加拿大参与者的横断面全国调查数据用于比较残疾和非残疾年轻人的生活满意度（N = 1,323）。利用普通最小二乘回归建立了生活满意度与残疾状况、心理弹性、心理弹性与残疾相互作用的四个模型。使用后估计预测边际和调整均值来报告残疾青年和他们的非残疾同龄人在弹性点上的生活满意度差异。即使在调整了健康状况、压力水平和社会人口特征后，残疾青年的生活满意度也显著低于非残疾青年（B = -3.621, t = -4.55, p < 0.001）。在纳入恢复力后，残疾状态仍然是生活满意度的重要预测因子，但效果有所减弱（B = -2.39, t = -3.27, p < 0.001）。与非残疾青年相比，报告高水平弹性的残疾青年在生活满意度方面没有显著差异（z = 0.82, p = 0.41）。这些发现表明，适应力可能有助于缩小反映社会和经济不平等的生活满意度差距，而不是残疾本身。加强关系、社区和环境方面的支持，培养韧性，可能有助于在包容、支持性的系统中促进残疾青年的福祉。

Federal and state policies have prioritized kinship care as a preferred placement for children needing child welfare services as kinship care homes result in better outcomes related to safety, permanency, and well-being compared to traditional non-relative foster care. However, research has noted that many kinship caregivers experience hardships when assuming the role of primary caretaker, such as limited peer support, increased financial stress, and decreased mental health wellness. Kinship navigator programs were developed to mitigate the negative outcomes kinship caregivers experience while maintaining the benefits experienced by children. The purpose of this process evaluation was to determine the functionality of the Kinship Navigator Program at Kids Central, Inc., a community-based care lead agency operating in a central region of Floria from the staff perspectives. Staff perceptions regarding organizational structure, caseload and workload, roles and responsibilities, and congruence between leadership and staff were primary themes that emerged throughout the qualitative interviews. Given the growing importance of kinship care within the child welfare system, continual evaluation and optimization of kinship care programs is critical to ensuring the benefit of these program for both caregivers and the children in their care.

联邦和州的政策优先考虑亲属关怀，将其作为需要儿童福利服务的儿童的首选安置，因为亲属关怀之家与传统的非亲属寄养相比，在安全性、持久性和福祉方面具有更好的结果。然而，研究指出，许多亲属照顾者在承担主要照顾者的角色时经历了困难，例如同伴支持有限，经济压力增加，心理健康状况下降。开发亲属导航程序是为了减轻亲属照顾者经历的负面结果，同时保持儿童所经历的利益。该过程评估的目的是从员工的角度来确定Kids Central， Inc.的亲属关系导航员项目的功能。Kids Central, Inc.是一家以社区为基础的护理领导机构，在佛罗里达州中部地区运营。员工对组织结构、案件数量和工作量、角色和责任以及领导和员工之间的一致性的看法是整个定性访谈中出现的主要主题。鉴于亲属关怀在儿童福利系统中的重要性日益增加，持续评估和优化亲属关怀计划对于确保这些计划对照顾者和他们所照顾的儿童都有利至关重要。

Despite the growing consensus that there is a contributory causal relationship between poverty and child abuse and neglect, no systematic review exists summarizing the magnitude, complexity, and degree of consensus of international research regarding the impact of individual and family level poverty on child maltreatment. A systematic review was therefore conducted investigating the relationship between individual and family level poverty and child abuse and neglect. Searches were conducted in Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO and PubMed from 01.01.2016 through to 31.08.2023. The 24 studies examined in this review, focusing on various aspects of individual and family level socio-economic circumstances and dimensions of child abuse and neglect, consistently demonstrated a significant association. The association between individual and family level poverty and child abuse and neglect held true for a range of socio-economic contexts, including both low resource levels and for situations involving insecure or fluctuating resources. The impact of poverty on the likelihood of child abuse and neglect in many studies was substantial. This review provides a comprehensive resource for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers which should inform evidence-based interventions and policies addressing the multifaceted interplay between individual and family level poverty and child maltreatment.

尽管越来越多的人认为贫困与儿童虐待和忽视之间存在因果关系，但目前还没有系统的综述来总结关于个人和家庭贫困对儿童虐待影响的国际研究的规模、复杂性和共识程度。因此，对个人和家庭层面的贫困与虐待和忽视儿童之间的关系进行了系统审查。检索于2016年1月1日至2023年8月31日在Web of Science、Embase、PsycINFO和PubMed进行。本综述审查了24项研究，重点关注个人和家庭层面的社会经济环境的各个方面以及儿童虐待和忽视的各个方面，一致表明两者之间存在显著关联。个人和家庭层面的贫穷与虐待和忽视儿童之间的联系适用于一系列社会经济情况，包括资源水平低和涉及不安全或资源波动的情况。在许多研究中，贫困对儿童遭受虐待和忽视的可能性的影响是实质性的。本综述为研究人员、从业人员和政策制定者提供了一个全面的资源，可以为基于证据的干预措施和政策提供信息，以解决个人和家庭层面的贫困与儿童虐待之间的多方面相互作用。

The increase in Unaccompanied Foreign Minors (UFMs) across Mediterranean countries has heightened the need to understand the emotional, cognitive, and developmental challenges associated with their migratory trajectories. These challenges—linked to trauma, affective deprivation, stimulation deficits, and inconsistent care systems—shape their adjustment and learning processes in the host country. This study aims to identify the main consequences of these experiences and the protective factors that best support UFMs’ development. An interpretative qualitative design was employed through a collective case study based on in-depth interviews with fourteen professionals from diverse roles and institutional contexts in Spain and Italy. Data were analysed using an inductive–deductive coding strategy in MAXQDA, supported by expert validation, member checking, triangulation, and a multi-layered reliability protocol. The findings highlight the central role of stable, supportive relationships and affective co-regulation in promoting recovery and facilitating adaptation. Other protective elements include early cognitive and linguistic stimulation, culturally sensitive practices, restorative institutional environments, and structured accompaniment during the transition to adulthood. In contrast, stimulation deficits, family pressure, and inadequately structured systems intensify vulnerability. Overall, the results underscore the need to rethink current intervention models through a trauma-aware perspective that strengthens emotional support, learning conditions, and early guidance to promote more sustainable inclusion trajectories for UFMs.

地中海国家中无人陪伴的外国未成年人（UFMs）的增加增加了了解与他们的移民轨迹相关的情感、认知和发展挑战的必要性。这些挑战与创伤、情感剥夺、刺激不足和不一致的护理系统有关，影响了他们在东道国的适应和学习过程。本研究旨在确定这些经历的主要后果以及最能支持UFMs发展的保护因素。通过对西班牙和意大利来自不同角色和制度背景的14位专业人士进行深入访谈的集体案例研究，采用了解释性定性设计。数据分析采用MAXQDA的归纳演绎编码策略，辅以专家验证、成员检查、三角测量和多层可靠性协议。研究结果强调了稳定、支持性关系和情感共同调节在促进康复和促进适应方面的核心作用。其他保护因素包括早期认知和语言刺激、文化敏感做法、恢复性机构环境以及向成年过渡期间的有组织陪伴。相反，刺激不足、家庭压力和结构不充分的系统加剧了脆弱性。总的来说，研究结果强调需要从创伤意识的角度重新思考当前的干预模式，加强情感支持、学习条件和早期指导，以促进ufm更可持续的包容轨迹。

Objectives

Guided by developmental autonomy and gender socialization frameworks, this study examines how age and gender are associated with parental and adolescent technoference and adolescent behavioral outcomes, tests their predictive contribution to technoference controlling for covariates, and assesses their moderating role in the associations between technoference and behavioral outcomes, offering a theoretically grounded perspective on demographic influences on adolescent adjustment.

Methods/Analysis

Data were collected from 450 adolescents (232 girls, 218 boys; aged 11–17 years) across private and public schools. Technoference was assessed with the Technoference Scale, and behavioral outcomes with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Analyses involved correlations, hierarchical regressions (controlling for socioeconomic status and device use), and PROCESS moderation tests for age and gender.

Findings

Age was positively associated with adolescent technoference, while gender exhibited no significant direct effect. Neither age nor gender predicted parental or adolescent technoference after adjusting for covariates. Gender moderated the impact of parental technoference on adolescent technoference and adolescent behavioral outcomes (internalizing, externalizing, prosocial). Age moderated the parental technoference → prosocial behavior link, and gender moderated the associations between adolescent technoference and internalizing and externalizing behaviors.

Novelty

Understanding technoference is challenging due to the differential roles of age and gender in adolescents’ behavioral outcomes. This study offers a novel integrated framework that demonstrates how gender moderates’ associations between parental and adolescent technoference and behavioral outcomes, while age uniquely moderates the parental technoference → prosocial behavior association. Findings advance Developmental Autonomy theory by underscoring age-linked prosocial vulnerability and extend Gender Socialization theory by demonstrating gendered behavioral patterns, providing insights that can inform theory and culturally sensitive interventions.

目的：在发展自主和性别社会化框架的指导下，本研究探讨了年龄和性别与父母和青少年技术干预和青少年行为结果的关系，测试了它们对协变量技术干预控制的预测贡献，并评估了它们在技术干预和行为结果之间的关联中的调节作用，为人口统计学对青少年适应的影响提供了一个理论基础视角。方法/分析从私立和公立学校的450名青少年（232名女孩，218名男孩，11-17岁）中收集数据。技术干预采用技术干预量表，行为结果采用优势与困难问卷。分析包括相关性、层次回归（控制社会经济地位和设备使用）以及年龄和性别的过程调节测试。结果表明，sage与青少年科技行为呈正相关，而性别无显著的直接影响。调整协变量后，年龄和性别都不能预测父母或青少年的技术倾向。性别调节了父母技术干预对青少年技术干预和青少年行为结果（内化、外化、亲社会）的影响。年龄调节父母技术干预→亲社会行为的关系，性别调节青少年技术干预与内化和外化行为的关系。由于年龄和性别在青少年行为结果中的不同作用，理解技术影响具有挑战性。本研究提供了一个新的整合框架，说明性别如何调节父母和青少年技术干预与行为结果之间的关联，而年龄如何独特地调节父母技术干预→亲社会行为的关联。研究结果通过强调与年龄相关的亲社会脆弱性，推进了发展自主理论，并通过展示性别行为模式，扩展了性别社会化理论，为理论和文化敏感干预提供了见解。

Purpose

This study aimed to examine the complex relationships among peer bullying, short video addiction, sleep deprivation, and life satisfaction in school-age children aged 10–12 years. It further explored the mediating roles of short video addiction and sleep in these associations.

Methods

A cross-sectional design was adopted with a sample of 854 students selected via simple random sampling from public middle schools. Data were collected using validated scales and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and bootstrapping techniques. Model fit indices and indirect effects were tested.

Results

Victimization significantly predicted short video addiction (β = 0.148), which in turn predicted higher sleep deprivation (β = 0.475). Sleep deprivation negatively affected life satisfaction (β = − 0.297). Notably, short video addiction had an indirect effect on life satisfaction mediated by sleep deprivation (β = − 0.141). The model demonstrated acceptable fit (RMSEA = 0.047; CFI = 0.879).

Conclusion

The findings reveal a multi-layered pathway where peer victimization indirectly reduces life satisfaction through digital behavioral patterns and sleep disruptions. This study provides one of the first empirical models integrating these psychosocial variables in children.

Implications: Interventions targeting short video addiction and sleep regulation may enhance children’s life satisfaction. Findings also validate the Life Satisfaction Scale for use in the 10–12 age group.

目的探讨10 ~ 12岁学龄儿童同伴欺凌、短视频成瘾、睡眠剥夺和生活满意度之间的复杂关系。它进一步探讨了短视频成瘾和睡眠在这些关联中的中介作用。方法采用横断面设计，采用简单随机抽样的方法抽取公立中学学生854名。数据采用有效的量表收集，并使用结构方程模型（SEM）和自举技术进行分析。对模型拟合指标和间接效应进行了检验。结果受害显著预测短视频成瘾（β = 0.148），短视频成瘾预测睡眠剥夺（β = 0.475）。睡眠剥夺对生活满意度有负向影响（β = - 0.297）。值得注意的是，短视频成瘾对睡眠剥夺介导的生活满意度有间接影响（β = - 0.141）。模型拟合可接受（RMSEA = 0.047; CFI = 0.879）。研究结果揭示了同伴受害通过数字行为模式和睡眠中断间接降低生活满意度的多层次途径。本研究提供了第一个整合儿童心理社会变量的经验模型。启示：针对短视频成瘾和睡眠调节的干预可能会提高儿童的生活满意度。研究结果也证实了生活满意度量表在10-12岁年龄组中的应用。
