| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系 === 107 === Because of the prevalence, impacts, and the vicious circles of relational victimization, it is crucial to pay more attention to adolescent victims. The purpose of this study is to examine the associations between relational victimization and psychosocial adjustment and the moderating roles of self-blame attribution and hope in these associations.
The participants were 861 students (204 7th-graders, 473 8th-graders and 184 9th-graders) from 13 junior-high schools at 8 counties. The measurement tools used in this study were Peer Victimization Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Peer Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire, Self-Blame Attribution Questionnaire, and the Hope Scale. The findings of this study are: (1) There are significant associations between relational victimization and psychosocial adjustment (i.e., negative affect, self-esteem, and rejection sensitivity); (2) There is a significant moderating effect of hope in the association between relational victimization and self-esteem; and (3) Self-blame attribution is not a significant moderator in the associations between relational victimization and psychosocial adjustment. The results demonstrate that the experiences of relational victimization may be related to adolescents’ overall maladjustment, and increasing sense of hope could be a feasible way to buffer the victims’ maladjustment.
KEYWORDS: hope, negative affect, rejection sensitivity, relational victimization, self-blame attribution, self-esteem
