Background

Mothers' experiences of child abuse (CA) and adulthood intimate partner violence (IPV) are linked with poorer social emotional functioning in their children.

Objective

The current study examined direct relations between mothers' CA, mothers' adulthood IPV, and children's direct victimization on children's social competence using a cross-sectional dyadic design. The indirect effects of types of violence through open communication on children's social competence were also assessed.

Participants and setting

Mother-child dyads (N = 162) were recruited from community organizations in the MidSouth region of the United States; all mothers (M_age = 35.24, SD = 6.70; 80.7 % Black) reported IPV exposure in the past 6 months. On average, children were 12 years old (M_age = 12.38, SD = 2.84; 59 % female) and predominantly Black (85.5 %).

Methods

A mediated path model assessed the direct effects of mothers' CA, mothers' adulthood IPV, and children's direct victimization on children's social competence, and the indirect effects of these violence variables through open mother-child communication on social competence.

Results

The path model yielded a strong fit [χ²(10) = 10.52, p = .38; RMSEA = 0.02 [CI, 0.00–0.09]; CFI = 0.99; SRMR = 0.04]. An indirect-only mediation effect was found between children's direct victimization through open mother-child communication on their social competence (β = −0.07, p = .025; 95 % CI [−0.18, −0.01]; children exposed to more direct victimization reported less open communication, which was linked to lower social competence.

Conclusions

Results demonstrate the relation between direct victimization and children's view of themselves and their relationship with their caregivers. Increasing access to family-based interventions that reduce conflict and strengthen mother-child communication could promote children's social competence following direct victimization.

Background

Child sexual exploitation (CSE) involves using a child or youth as a sexual object in exchange for remuneration, reward, or favors, meeting their survival needs, and also serving the perpetrator's aims for sexual, social, or economic gain.

Objective

The present study addresses the prevalence of CSE in Spain. Participants: A representative sample of 4024 secondary school adolescents from 14 to 17 years old (M = 15.42, SD = 1.034) was surveyed.

Methods

Three questions adapted from previous European studies on the topic were used.

Results

An overall prevalence of 2.6 % was recorded, comprising exchange of sexual material (1.7 %), sexual touching (0.9 %), and sexual relations involving oral sex or penetration (0.9 %). While no significant age-related differences emerged, gender-specific patterns were observed. Boys exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of oral and penetrative sex than girls (1.2 % vs 0.5 %), while girls showed a slightly higher prevalence of exchange of sexual material (2 % vs 1.2 %) than boys. LGB youth reported a significantly higher risk for CSE than heterosexual youth (5.5 % vs 2.1 %), and European adolescents reported less CSE (2.2 % vs. 4.1 %) than youths from other ethnicities.

Conclusions

CSE should be a social concern because it affects a substantial number of children worldwide. Interventions should adopt an intersectional perspective that incorporates the various risk factors associated with this form of victimization.

背景：儿童性剥削（CSE）涉及利用儿童或青少年作为性对象，以换取报酬、奖励或好处，满足他们的生存需要，同时也服务于犯罪者的性、社会或经济利益的目的。目的：本研究旨在了解西班牙CSE的流行情况。调查对象：选取具有代表性的14 ~ 17岁中学生4024人（M = 15.42, SD = 1.034）进行调查。方法：三个问题改编自以前的欧洲研究的主题。结果：总体患病率为2.6%，包括交换性材料（1.7%），性接触（0.9%）和涉及口交或插入的性关系（0.9%）。虽然没有出现明显的年龄相关差异，但观察到性别特有的模式。男孩口交和插入性行为的发生率明显高于女孩（1.2%比0.5%），而女孩交换性材料的发生率略高于男孩（2%比1.2%）。LGB青少年报告的CSE风险明显高于异性恋青少年（5.5%对2.1%），欧洲青少年报告的CSE风险低于其他种族的青少年（2.2%对4.1%）。结论：CSE应该引起社会关注，因为它影响了全世界大量的儿童。干预措施应采用交叉视角，将与这种形式的受害有关的各种风险因素纳入其中。

Background

While prior research has suggested that experiencing bullying victimization increases the risk of self-harm, the exact role of intrapersonal emotion regulation and bullying peer norms in contributing to this association are not fully understood.

Objective

This study examined the mediating effects of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression and the moderating effects of bullying descriptive and popularity norms on the association between bullying victimization and self-harm.

Participants and setting

A total of 3545 Chinese adolescents (52.4 % boys; Mage = 12.36 years; 90.9 % Han nationality) from 76 classes participated in the current study.

Methods

Data were collected in two waves, spaced six months apart. Participants completed self-report questionnaires regarding bullying victimization, bullying perpetration, emotion regulation and self-harm. Peer nomination items were used to assess bullying perpetration and popularity.

Results

The study found that bullying victimization was linked to an increase in self-harm six month later, both directly and indirectly, by enhancing the use of expressive suppression. The effects of expressive suppression as a mediator were notably stronger in environments with low bullying descriptive norms or high bullying popularity norms.

Conclusions

These findings provide insights into the mechanisms by which bullying peer norms adversely affect emotion regulation and escalate self-harming behaviors among victimized adolescents. Effective bullying prevention and intervention strategies should focus not only on reducing bullying behaviors, but also on addressing maladaptive emotion regulation strategies such as expressive suppression. Additionally, fostering a classroom environment characterized by non-aggressive and prosocial norms is crucial for mitigating the negative outcomes associated with bullying.

背景：虽然先前的研究表明，经历欺凌受害者会增加自我伤害的风险，但个人情绪调节和欺凌同伴规范在这种关联中的确切作用尚未完全了解。目的：研究霸凌描述性规范和受欢迎性规范在霸凌受害与自我伤害关系中的调节作用，以及认知重评价和表达抑制的中介作用。参与者和环境：共有3545名中国青少年(52.4%的男孩；法师= 12.36岁；76个班级的90.9%汉族学生参与了本研究。方法：分两波采集，每波间隔6个月。被试完成欺凌受害、欺凌行为、情绪调节和自我伤害自述问卷。同伴提名项目被用来评估欺凌行为和受欢迎程度。结果：研究发现，欺凌受害者与六个月后自我伤害的增加有直接和间接的联系，通过增强表达性抑制的使用。在低恃强凌弱描述性规范和高恃强凌弱流行性规范的环境中，表达抑制作为中介的作用显著增强。结论：研究结果揭示了欺凌同伴规范对青少年情绪调节的负面影响和自我伤害行为升级的机制。有效的欺凌预防和干预策略不仅应着眼于减少欺凌行为，还应关注表达抑制等适应不良情绪调节策略。此外，培养一个以非攻击性和亲社会规范为特征的课堂环境对于减轻与欺凌相关的负面结果至关重要。

Background

Little is known about sexual grooming among children in Arab-Islamic countries. Accessing victims of child sexual abuse in such a context is challenging; however, qualitative secondary analysis provides a framework for exploring this phenomenon.

Objective

This study employed qualitative secondary analysis to identify sexual grooming behavior and strategies based on the statements made by Jordanian children.

Participants and setting

The primary dataset comprised 13 verbatim transcripts of forensic investigative statements of child victims aged 6–18 years with an Arabic Islamic background. These statements were obtained from the Family Protection Department of Amman, Jordan.

Methods

The statements were translated from Arabic to English and subjected to independent inductive thematic analysis and deductive analysis using the 2020 Sexual Grooming Model developed by Winters, Jeglic, and Kaylor as a framework.

Results

Four stages of child sexual grooming, each with specific goals and strategies, were identified and contextualized using the model. However, specific, nuanced differences between the findings and the model were identified, highlighting the influence of Arab culture and Islamic religious interpretations on grooming in Jordan.

Conclusions

Educational efforts should be undertaken to raise awareness among parents and children regarding grooming strategies and, specifically, how Arab culture and Islamic principles may be used to coerce children to comply with grooming and abuse or otherwise compel their silence out of fear of punishment.

背景：人们对阿拉伯-伊斯兰国家儿童的性教育知之甚少。在这种情况下接触儿童性虐待受害者是具有挑战性的；然而，定性的二次分析为探索这一现象提供了一个框架。目的：本研究采用定性二次分析方法，基于约旦儿童的性梳理行为和策略。参与者和背景：主要数据集包括13份针对6-18岁具有阿拉伯伊斯兰背景的儿童受害者的法医调查陈述的逐字抄本。这些声明是从约旦安曼家庭保护部获得的。方法：将这些陈述从阿拉伯语翻译成英语，并以Winters、Jeglic和Kaylor开发的2020 Sexual Grooming Model为框架，进行独立的归纳主题分析和演绎分析。结果：使用该模型确定了儿童性修饰的四个阶段，每个阶段都有特定的目标和策略。然而，研究结果和模型之间存在具体的细微差异，突出了阿拉伯文化和伊斯兰宗教对约旦打扮的影响。结论：应作出教育努力，提高父母和儿童对梳洗策略的认识，特别是如何利用阿拉伯文化和伊斯兰原则来强迫儿童遵守梳洗和虐待，或以其他方式迫使他们因害怕惩罚而保持沉默。

Background

Families impacted by the child welfare system (CWS) face increased risks of poverty, family dysfunction, and poor child outcomes. Strong support networks, comprised of formal support from government programs or service providers and informal support from family and friends, are an under-researched potential mechanism to facilitate family engagement and protect against child maltreatment.

Objective

This study's objective was to describe formal and informal supports among parents with substantiated maltreatment who recently entered the CWS to understand parents' situations and conditions.

Participants and setting

The study used quantitative survey and qualitative interview data from The Power of Parents in Child Protection Study, an ongoing 18-month, statewide longitudinal study of parents with substantiated cases of maltreatment entering the CWS (N = 133). The quantitative sample was 78 % mothers and 22 % fathers.

Methods

Through latent profile analysis and content analysis, this study describes parents' formal and informal support systems including informal support networks, public benefit receipt, and CWS system navigation.

Results

Latent profile analyses revealed three profiles characterized as “detrimentally low support” (n = 40, 31 %), “low support” (n = 59, 45 %), and “supported” (n = 32). Even among “supported” parents, parents had unreliable and limited informal networks and unstable, insufficient formal supports. Additionally, those with the least amount of informal support (“detrimentally low”) were the least equipped to navigate support from the CWS system.

Conclusions

Strengthening formal and informal support networks among CWS-impacted parents, particularly those with the least informal support, could help to address families' high levels of need.

背景：受儿童福利制度（CWS）影响的家庭面临贫困、家庭功能障碍和不良儿童结局的风险增加。强有力的支持网络，包括来自政府项目或服务提供者的正式支持以及来自家庭和朋友的非正式支持，是促进家庭参与和防止儿童虐待的潜在机制。目的：本研究的目的是描述最近进入CWS的被证实遭受虐待的父母的正式和非正式支持，以了解父母的情况和状况。参与者和环境：该研究使用了来自“儿童保护中父母的力量”研究的定量调查和定性访谈数据，这是一项持续18个月的全国性纵向研究，研究对象是进入CWS的有证实的虐待案例的父母（N = 133）。定量样本是78%的母亲和22%的父亲。方法：通过潜在侧面分析和内容分析，描述父母的正式支持系统和非正式支持系统，包括非正式支持网络、公益接收和CWS系统导航。结果：潜在剖面分析揭示了三种特征：“不利的低支持”（n = 40,31 %），“低支持”（n = 59,45 %）和“支持”（n = 32）。即使在“被支持”的父母中，父母的非正式网络也不可靠、有限，正式支持也不稳定、不足。此外，那些非正式支持最少的人（“非常低”）最不具备从CWS系统获得支持的能力。结论：加强受儿童服务影响的父母之间的正式和非正式支持网络，特别是那些非正式支持最少的父母，可以帮助解决家庭的高需求。

Background

Adolescents with large body sizes often experience bullying which likely affects their overall well-being. Yet, there is limited research on how bullying victimisation affects overall life satisfaction among this cohort of adolescents, and how family affluence moderates this relationship.

Objective

This study investigates the moderation effects of family affluence in the association between bullying victimisation and life satisfaction among adolescents with large bodies.

Setting and participants

This research involved 16,240 adolescents with large bodies based on the World Health Organization's Body Mass Index Chart/Classification for ages 13 to 15 years from 37 high-income countries in Europe and North America.

Design

The study used data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey, a cross-national study of adolescent health and well-being. Hypotheses were assessed through mixed effects binary logit models with random intercepts, accounting for data clustering and variations across regions.

Results

After controlling for covariates, both cyberbullying (AOR = 1.72; 95 % CI = 1.48–2.00) and traditional bullying (AOR = 1.74, 95 % CI: 1.53–1.99) were significantly associated with lower life satisfaction compared with no bullying experience among participants. Family affluence partly moderated these associations, wherein the highest level of affluence reduced the effects of cyberbullying (AOR = 1.57, 95 % CI: 1.09–2.27) and traditional bullying (AOR = 1.41, 95 % CI: 1.02–1.96) on life satisfaction compared to lower levels.

Conclusion

Both traditional and cyberbullying significantly reduced life satisfaction among adolescents with large body sizes. However, higher family affluence moderates (reduces) these negative effects, suggesting a protective role of socioeconomic status. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to support bullied adolescents, particularly those with large bodies and from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

背景：体型较大的青少年经常遭受欺凌，这可能会影响他们的整体健康。然而，关于欺凌受害者如何影响这群青少年的整体生活满意度，以及家庭富裕如何调节这种关系的研究有限。目的：探讨家庭富裕程度在大体型青少年欺凌受害与生活满意度之间的调节作用。背景和参与者：根据世界卫生组织的身体质量指数表/分类，这项研究涉及来自欧洲和北美37个高收入国家的16240名体型较大的青少年，年龄在13至15岁之间。设计：该研究使用了学龄儿童健康行为调查（HBSC）的数据，这是一项关于青少年健康和福祉的跨国研究。通过随机截距的混合效应二元logit模型评估假设，考虑数据聚类和区域差异。结果：控制协变量后，网络欺凌(AOR = 1.72；95% CI = 1.48-2.00)和传统欺凌（AOR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.53-1.99）与没有欺凌经历的参与者的生活满意度显著相关。家庭富裕程度在一定程度上调节了这些关联，其中，与较低水平相比，最高水平的富裕程度降低了网络欺凌（AOR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.09-2.27）和传统欺凌（AOR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.02-1.96）对生活满意度的影响。结论：传统欺凌和网络欺凌均显著降低了体型较大的青少年的生活满意度。然而，较高的家庭富裕程度缓和（减少）了这些负面影响，表明社会经济地位起着保护作用。这些发现强调需要采取有针对性的干预措施，以支持受欺凌的青少年，特别是那些体型较大和社会经济背景较低的青少年。

Background

Holistic approaches to preventing child sexual abuse (CSA) such as German Safeguarding Programs integrate comprehensive analysis, intervention, prevention, and evaluation efforts and can be used to address CSA in youth-serving organizations (YSOs). To date, little is known about how adults who have committed CSA in YSOs in the past (i.e., offenders), adults who identify as being at risk of committing CSA in YSOs (i.e., potential offenders), and therapists experienced in treating such (potential) offenders view these programs.

Objective

To evaluate whether (potential) offenders and therapists consider holistic approaches such as Safeguarding Programs as effective for protecting children in YSOs. Additionally, their views on potential additional measures and barriers or facilitators to implementing Safeguarding Programs were investigated.

Methods

In an exploratory qualitative study that used a vignette approach, Safeguarding Programs were presented in problem-centered interviews to (potential) offenders (n=6) and therapists experienced in the treatment of (potential) offenders (n=5). Participants provided extensive feedback, which was analyzed by a qualitative content analysis.

Results

Participants emphasized that to be effective, the interrelated measures of Safeguarding Programs need to be implemented comprehensively, not just in isolation. (Potential) offenders reported that a clear code of conduct in YSOs can be particularly helpful in controlling CSA related behavior. Addressing preventive help-offers within Safeguarding Programs may facilitate help-seeking in (potential) offenders.

Conclusions

Results may help to guide further development Safeguarding Programs and other holistic approaches. The study highlights the importance of involving (potential) offenders when developing preventive measures.

背景：预防儿童性虐待（CSA）的整体方法，如德国保障计划，整合了全面的分析、干预、预防和评估工作，可用于解决青年服务组织（YSOs）中的儿童性侵问题。到目前为止，对于过去在青少年社区中犯下CSA的成年人（即犯罪者），在青少年社区中确定有犯下CSA风险的成年人（即潜在的犯罪者）以及治疗此类（潜在）犯罪者的经验丰富的治疗师如何看待这些项目，知之甚少。目的：评估（潜在的）罪犯和治疗师是否考虑整体方法，如保护计划，以有效地保护青少年社会服务中心的儿童。此外，还调查了他们对实施保护计划的潜在额外措施和障碍或促进因素的看法。方法：在一项采用小插曲方法的探索性定性研究中，对（潜在）罪犯（n=6）和（潜在）罪犯治疗经验丰富的治疗师（n=5）进行了以问题为中心的访谈，提出了保护计划。参与者提供了广泛的反馈，并通过定性内容分析进行了分析。结果：与会者强调，保护项目的相关措施需要综合实施，而不是孤立实施。（潜在的）违法者报告说，在青少年安全组织中制定明确的行为准则对控制与CSA相关的行为特别有帮助。在保护计划中提供预防性帮助可以促进（潜在的）罪犯寻求帮助。结论：研究结果可能有助于指导进一步制定保护计划和其他整体方法。这项研究强调了在制定预防措施时让（潜在的）罪犯参与进来的重要性。

Background

Adolescents who have been sexually abused commonly experience trauma symptoms, and many spend considerable time waiting for treatment.

Objective

This study examines the extent to which adolescent perceptions of divine spiritual support, divine spiritual struggles, and self-blame collected during a screening assessment predict trauma symptoms at the beginning of treatment.

Participants and setting

Participants were 224 adolescents (92.9 % female, Mean age = 13.46 years; 53.6 % identified as Hispanic/Latino/a and 24.1 % Black/African American). All obtained services at a Children's Advocacy Center in the southern United States.

Methods

Adolescents reported on trauma symptoms, divine spiritual support, divine spiritual struggles, and self-blame appraisals at a screening assessment (T1). Trauma symptoms were also reported a second time when beginning treatment (T2).

Results

The mean level of trauma symptoms declined over time for the total sample, t(223) = 9.37, p < .001, d = 0.63. Greater divine spiritual struggles (β = 0.10, t[219] = 1.98, p = .049, sr² = 0.02) and self-blame for the abuse (β = 0.11, t[219] = 2.03, p = .044, sr² = 0.02) at the screening assessment were associated with higher levels of trauma symptoms at the beginning of treatment, controlling for sex, trauma symptoms and age at the screening assessment.

Conclusions

Assessing adolescents' divine spiritual struggles and self-blame for sexual abuse may be important in triage and treatment planning for youth who have experienced sexual abuse.

背景：遭受性虐待的青少年通常会经历创伤症状，许多人要花相当长的时间等待治疗。目的：本研究考察在筛选评估中收集的青少年对神圣精神支持、神圣精神斗争和自责的感知在治疗开始时预测创伤症状的程度。参与者和环境：参与者为224名青少年(92.9%为女性，平均年龄13.46岁；53.6%为西班牙裔/拉丁裔/黑人，24.1%为黑人/非裔美国人)。所有人都在美国南部的一个儿童倡导中心获得了服务。方法：青少年在筛选评估（T1）中报告创伤症状、神圣精神支持、神圣精神斗争和自责评价。创伤症状也在开始治疗时第二次报告（T2）。结果：在筛查评估时，总样本的创伤症状平均水平随时间下降，t(223) = 9.37, p 2 = 0.02)，虐待自责（β = 0.11, t[219] = 2.03, p = 0.044, sr2 = 0.02）与治疗开始时较高的创伤症状水平相关，筛查评估时的性别、创伤症状和年龄受控制。结论：评估青少年对性虐待的神圣精神斗争和自责可能对经历过性虐待的青少年的分类和治疗计划很重要。

Background

Screen time is on the rise among youth, and as a result, cyberbullying victimization has become increasingly prevalent. While prior research has established a positive correlation between screen usage and cyberbullying victimization, a paucity of research has explored how motives for screen usage are associated with cyberbullying victimization and moderate the positive association between screen usage and cyberbullying victimization.

Objective

The present study sought to address these research gaps by exploring the association between motives for screen usage and cyberbullying victimization and examining whether these motives moderate the association between screen time and cyberbullying.

Participants and setting

Data from 332 participants (mean age = 16.27 years; 25 % male) were collected in a longitudinal study. Participants were required to be aged 12–18, proficient in English, not currently in treatment for psychological issues, and own a smartphone.

Methods

Participants installed a mobile sensing app to measure their screen usage over a four-week period objectively. Motives for screen usage were assessed using an adapted version of the Internet Motive Questionnaire for Adolescents. Cyberbullying experiences were self-reported during a follow-up assessment.

Results

Coping (p < 0.01), conformity (p < 0.001), and enhancement motives (p < 0.05) were positively associated with cyberbullying victimization. Conformity motives moderated the relationship between screen time and victimization, with the association being strongest among youth with low conformity motives (p < 0.01).

Conclusions

These findings indicate that risky motives for screen usage are associated with a higher likelihood of experiencing cyberbullying victimization and that they moderate the association of screen time with cyberbullying.

背景：青少年的屏幕时间越来越长，因此，网络欺凌的受害者变得越来越普遍。虽然先前的研究已经建立了屏幕使用与网络欺凌受害之间的正相关关系，但很少有研究探讨屏幕使用动机与网络欺凌受害之间的关系，并调节屏幕使用与网络欺凌受害之间的正相关关系。目的：本研究试图通过探索屏幕使用动机与网络欺凌受害之间的关系，以及这些动机是否调节屏幕时间与网络欺凌之间的关系来解决这些研究空白。参与者和环境：数据来自332名参与者(平均年龄= 16.27岁；25%的男性)在纵向研究中收集。参与者要求年龄在12-18岁之间，精通英语，目前没有接受心理问题治疗，拥有智能手机。方法：参与者安装了一个移动传感应用程序，以客观地测量他们在四周内的屏幕使用情况。使用青少年互联网动机问卷对屏幕使用动机进行了评估。在后续评估中，网络欺凌经历是自我报告的。结果：应对(p)结论：这些发现表明，使用屏幕的冒险动机与遭受网络欺凌的可能性增加有关，并且它们调节了屏幕时间与网络欺凌的关联。
