School bullying is a hotspot in academic circles,many studies focus on school bullying problems,but there are few researches refer to peer victimization.In the existing research about peer victimization,children and higher age group is the main object of study,there are scanty attention on preschool children,but studies show that peer victimization phenomenon has existed in the pre-school period,if these issues cannot be solved effectively,it will have irreparable negative impact on the development of children life.Therefore,it is necessary to study on peer victimization problem of preschool children.The current evaluation scale of peer victimization is suitable for school age children and adolescents,and focus on classifying bullying or peer victimization types.In the existing evaluation scale of preschool children's peer victimization,there is adiscrepancy between the actual dimension and theory dimension,the reliability of the scale is needed to be tested.Based on these,this study revised the preschool children's peer victimization questionnaire for teachers assess children.Among the many factors that influence preschool children's peer victimization,this study starts from the individual factors,and selects two factors namely peer interaction ability and emotion regulation strategy,which are closely related to the peer victimization influencing factors.This study collects some information about the level of preschool children's peer victimization,peer interaction ability and emotion regulation strategies through questionnaires,uses SPSS and AMOS software to go on data processing and analysis,investigates the peer interaction ability influence on peer victimization,and explores the mediating effects of emotion regulation strategies between the two factors.The results are as follows:1.The revised "preschool children's peer victimization questionnaire" has good reliability and validity,and it is effect to measure the level of peer victimization.2.There are mainly two forms of peer victimization among preschool children:physical-property victimization and verbal-relationship peer victimization.3.Preschool children suffer from peer victimization is universality,and the physical property peer victimization is more than verbal peer victimization.4.There are significant differences exist in the gender,age and the nature of kindergarten on preschool children's peer victimization.The level of boy peer victimization was significantly higher than that of girls,mainly manifested in thephysical-property victimization;The level of lager-class children's peer victimization in two dimensions were significantly higher than those of middle-class children.In verbal-relationship peer victimization,the level of private kindergarten children's peer victimization is higher than that of public kindergarten.5.There are significant differences exist in the gender,age and the nature of preschool children's peer interaction ability.The girl's peer communication ability,language and non-language interaction skills and prosocial behavior was significantly higher than the boys;The levels of lager-class children language and non-language interaction skills and prosocial behavior were higher than those of middle-class children;The public kindergarten children's social initiative and language and non-language interaction skills average value were higher than those of private kindergarten children.6.There are significant differences exist in the gender,age and the nature of kindergarten preschool children emotion regulation strategy.The girl used more seeking support,self-comfort and passive coping strategies than boys;The middle-class children used more seeking support strategy than lager-class children,no obvious difference in other strategies;Private kindergarten's children adopt more negative strategies than public ones,mainly manifested in the passive coping strategies.7.A significant negative correlation is exist between children peer victimization and prosocial behavior,language or non-language interaction skills,social barriers of peer interaction ability;A significant negative correlation is exist between preschool children peer victimization and seek support strategies and alternative strategies of emotion regulation strategies,and it also exist significantly negatively correlation with emotional venting strategy and aggressive behavior strategy.Preschool children peer interaction ability is significantly positively correlated with cognitive reconstruction strategies,problem solving strategies and seeking support strategies,and was significantly negatively correlated with emotional venting strategies.8.Positive emotion regulation strategies play a partial mediating effect in the influence of peer interaction ability on peer victimization,but the mediating effect of negative emotion regulation strategies is not significant.
