Negative Peer Relationships and Impulsivity in Chinese Preadolescents:A Three-Wave Cross-Lagged Panel Model
The present study employed a cross-lagged panel model to examine the longitudinal association between negative peer relationships,specifically deviant peer affiliation and bullying victimization,and impulsivity during preadolescence.A cohort comprising 1987 middle school students from Guangdong and Shandong provinces were evaluated during three distinct time periods:the fall and spring of seventh grade,and the fall of eighth grade.The assessment encompassed evaluations of deviant peer affiliation,experiences of bullying victimization,and levels of impulsivity.The results revealed no significant effect of negative peer relationships at one time point on subsequent impulsivity;nevertheless,impulsivity exhibited at T1/T2 positively correlated with deviant peer affiliation and bullying victimization experienced during T2/T3.These findings highlight the significant role of impulsivity in the development and progression of negative peer relationships during preadolescence,underscoring the importance of targeted interventions to regulate impulsive tendencies among adolescents.
