Abstract

We examined the bidirectional relations between peer relations and attention problems from middle childhood through adolescence. Using data from the Longitudinal Study of Chinese Children and Adolescents (LSCCA, N = 2157, 51.9% male), three key aspects of peer relations (acceptance, rejection, and victimization) were assessed annually from 9 to 16 years of age. Attention problems were assessed at 9 and 15 years. Latent growth modeling indicated that greater attention problems at age 9 were linked with a lower intercept for peer acceptance, and higher intercepts for rejection and victimization. Also, prior lower acceptance and greater rejection and victimization, along with a higher increase over time in rejection and lower decrease over time in victimization, predicted attention problems at age 15. Cross-lagged analysis showed that attention problems were associated with less subsequent peer acceptance and greater subsequent rejection and victimization. Only peer rejection (but neither victimization nor acceptance) predicted more subsequent attention problems. Findings point to bidirectional associations between attention problems and peer relations in the developmental transition across adolescence. Evidence for differential bidirectionality of attention problems with the multiple peer experience (group versus dyadic; good versus bad) emerged, and future replications are needed.

Given most participants in our sample were only children, raising a concern that “sibling deprivation” (Blake 1981) may exert impact on the associations between peer relations and attention problems, we performed multi-group models to explore the potential differences of the bidirectional links across sibling status. For both LGM and longitudinal cross-lagged panel models, the unconstrained and constrained models all fit well (LGM: χ²_{unconstrained}(468) = 2086.24, χ²_constrained(481) = 2104.22, ps < 0.001; RMSEAs < 0.058; CFIs > 0.91; TLIs > 0.91; longitudinal cross-lagged panel model:χ²_{unconstrained}(96) = 390.42, χ²_constrained(121) = 397.05, ps < 0.001; RMSEAs < 0.054, CFIs > 0.93, TLIs > 0.87). In LGM and longitudinal cross-lagged models, both changes of CFIs between the unconstrained and constrained models were less than 0.01, indicating no significant differences of sibling status. This finding was consistent with what was reported by Chen et al. (1999) that there was no difference of sibling status in the predictive relations between social behaviors (e.g. aggressive and sociable behaviors) and social adjustment in school (e.g. peer acceptance).
