“…Given that many studies rely exclusively on retrospective reports of peer victimization (e.g., Staubli & Killias, 2011), the current study demonstrates that retrospective reports of previous peer victimization do not strongly correlate with past peer nominations of victimization. This is an important cautionary note when interpreting retrospective studies.…”

Prior research has demonstrated that victims of peer victimization show reduced psychological adjustment, social adjustment, and physical well-being compared with nonvictims. However, little research has addressed whether this maladjustment continues over the long term. This study examined adjustment in 72 high school students who had participated in a peer-nomination procedure assessing peer victimization when in elementary school (5 to 8 years earlier). Thirty-five high school students who had been peer nominated as overtly and/or relationally peer victimized were compared with 37 peers who were not nominated as victimized in elementary school. High school students completed self-report measures of psychological adjustment, social adjustment, physical well-being, and current overt and relational victimization. In addition, a retrospective self-report measure of peer victimization in elementary school was administered. Results revealed that, although current self-reported peer victimization was negatively related to adjustment, elementary-school peer-nomination measures of victimization were unrelated to high-school adjustment. Further, current self-reports of remembered victimization in elementary school were associated with lowered adjustment. These results indicate that current and past perceived peer victimization is negatively related to adjustment, but past experience of peer-identified victimization has a more complex relation to current adjustment.

“…Emerging retrospective research findings also suggest that having been bullied during childhood is linked to suicidal behavior in adulthood (Meltzer, Vostanis, Ford, Bebbington, & Dennis, 2011; Roeger, Allison, Korossy-Horwood, Eckert, & Goldney, 2010; Staubli & Killias, 2011). For instance, Meltzer, Vostanis, Ford, Bebbington, and Dennis’s (2011) research study, which examines the association between bullying victimization during childhood and suicide attempts over the life course from a random sample of 7,461 respondents in United Kingdom, reports that adults who were bullied during childhood were more than twice as likely as uninvolved adults to attempt suicide later in life.…”

In the wake of several highly publicized adolescent suicides attributed to bullying victimization, national attention has been brought to bear on the profound public health problem of bullying. This article reviews the extant literature on the associations between bullying perpetration, victimization, and thoughts of or attempts at suicide and proposes five potential mediators, namely depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness, and hopelessness, that may explain this relationship. Numerous studies have found empirical support for the interrelations between internalizing behaviors and both bullying perpetration and victimization and suicide. We find that further longitudinal research needs to be conducted to more conclusively determine the role and causal ordering these various psychosocial factors may play in bullying perpetration, victimization, and suicide. Although the research literature implies causal directions among all these potential mediators, untangling the unique influence of bullying perpetration, victimization, and bully victimization on suicide and its mechanisms of action has major research and practice implications.

“…Charach, Pepler, & Ziegler, 1995). Furthermore, in addition to being a prevalent problem, being victimized by peer aggression is associated with negative psychosocial outcomes such as reductions in school attendance, decreases in emotional well-being, and poor self-esteem, as well as elevated risks for experiencing depression, anxiety, and even suicide (Card, Stucky, Sawalani, & Little, 2008; Haynie et al., 2001; Staubli & Killias, 2011). Thus, peer victimization is a problem that impacts many students; however, as discussed below, it may disproportionately affect at-risk or vulnerable youth such as youth from families who have recently immigrated to a new country.…”

The phenomenology of peer victimization in youth from immigrant and non-immigrant US families was investigated in the current study. Specifically, differences in how youth were victimized, their responses to being victimized, and how peer bystanders responded to peer aggression incidents involving youth from these respective groups were investigated. Data were collected from two subsets of youth involved in a national research project. Results indicate that youth from immigrant families are more likely than their non-immigrant peers to report being victimized by physical aggression and to be victimized because of issues related to their race, religion, and family income. In addition, youth from immigrant families were more likely to report that their own responses to peer aggression were less likely to lead to positive outcomes and that peer bystander interventions did not benefit them as much as these interventions benefited their non-immigrant peers. Lastly, a concerning number of youth from immigrant families reported that both their own and bystander responses to peer aggression actually resulted in negative outcomes for them.
