本研究之目的乃了解對嘲笑的反應在嘲笑經驗和青少年心理健康的關係中是否具有中介效果。本研究之資料來自於2007年時所進行的一項經由分層多階段抽樣之全國代表性調查，此調查之工具乃經由預試修正後發展而成，施測過程遵照標準化程序，最後共有1,579位七至九年級的國中生完成調查。本研究先運用因素分析來了解對嘲笑的反應之潛在因素，另外再運用結構方程模式來了解對嘲笑的反應在嘲笑經驗和心理健康的關係之間所扮演的中介角色。因素分析的結果發現被嘲笑的反應可以區分為兩個因素，即感覺威脅的反應和非攻擊式的反應。結構方程式的結果發現，對嘲笑的反應在嘲笑經驗和心理健康的關係之間具有中介效果。因此，本研究結論為，若青少年較容易對嘲笑感受到威脅的反應者，心理健康的情況較差。

The aim of this study is to investigate the mediation effect of reactions to teasing on the relationship between teasing and in adolescentmental health. A standardized, pilot-tested survey was administered to a stratified, multistage, random sample (n = 1579) of Taiwanese 7-9 graders in 2007. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to investigate the mediation effect of reactions to teasing and their impact on mental health. Results of factor analysis indicated that reactions to teasing could be divided into feel-threatened reactions and non-defensive reactions. The results of SEM indicated that reactions to teasing mediated the relationship between experiences of being teased and mental health. Adolescents who had feel-threatened reactions to teasing are more likely to report poor mental health.
