摘要
Despite evidence of a strong connection between childhood maltreatment and peer victimization, the reasons for this link are complex. One possibility is that internalizing problems mediate the relationship between childhood maltreatment and peer victimization. This study explored the long-term relationship between childhood maltreatment, internalizing problems, and peer victimization among Chinese adolescents using developmental cascade models. We recruited 505 students from a high school in western China (213 girls; M = 15.91, SD = 0.62). Our results showed that even when accounting for control variables, childhood maltreatment worsened future internalizing problems, which, in turn, led to increased peer victimization among these adolescents. Additionally, our analysis revealed no significant gender differences in any of the studied pathways. These findings clarify the complex relationship between childhood maltreatment, internalizing problems, and peer victimization, offering valuable insights for preventing adolescent victimization.

Despite the fact that religiosity and spiritual scores did not vary according to gender and education, we were unable to determine the impact of ethnic-cultural differences-the majority of the participants were Caucasian Europeans (92.1%). The same can be said for marital status, given the preponderance of unmarried individuals (85.3%). The mean age of the participants is 24 years, meaning th

Still, of the 20 items that make up the SWBQ only one-developing joy in life (item 14)-suggests a direct link to the concept of well-being (De Jager Meezenbroek et al., 2012) and its use is therefore admissible in investigations of emotional well-being (Garsen, Visser, De Jager Meezenbroek, 2016). Assuming that SWBQ is a measure that confuses spirituality with well-being, it is understandable that the results of this study which associated spirituality with positive emotions may

Additionally, we have the cross-cultural applicability of this studys findings. This study is restricted to the Portuguese context and the influence of cultural factors on the interpretation of SWBQ and RSS scores cannot be ruled out. Gouveia, Pais-Ribeiro and Marques (2012) observed that the Portuguese version of the SWBQ m
