“…Few were significant before controlling for Type I error, and none were afterward. On the one hand, our results are similar to those reported by Davidson and Demaray (2007) and by Papafratzeskakou et al (2011), who also found no support for a supportive parenting × victimization interaction in young people. On the other hand, our results stand in contrast to other studies that did find evidence for such an interaction (Conners-Burrow et al, 2009; Stadler et al, 2010; Tanigawa et al, 2011).…”

Cohen and Wills (Cohen, S., & Wills, T. A., 1985, Stress, social support, and the buffering hypothesis. Psychological Bulletin, 98, 310–357) described two broad models whereby social support could mitigate the deleterious effects of stress on health: a main effect model and stress-buffering model. A specific application of these models was tested in a three-wave, multimethod study of 1888 children to assess ways parental support (social support) mitigates the effects of peer victimization (stress) on children’s depressive symptoms and depression-related cognitions (health-related outcomes). Results revealed that (a) both supportive parenting and peer victimization had main effects on depressive symptoms and cognitions; (b) supportive parenting and peer victimization did not interact in the prediction of depressive thoughts and symptoms; (c) these results generalized across age and gender; and (d) increases in depressive symptoms were related to later reduction of supportive parenting and later increase in peer victimization. Although supportive parenting did not moderate the adverse outcomes associated with peer victimization, results show that its main effect can counterbalance or offset these effects to some degree. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

“…At low levels of peer social support, however, relational victimization was positively associated with depressive symptoms. Contrary to expectations and other findings (e.g., Hodges et al 1999;Papafratzeskakou et al 2011), overt victimization did not directly predict or interact with social support from peers to influence adolescents' depressive symptoms. Taken together with Schmidt and Bagwell's findings (2007), our results suggest that the impact of peer social support on victimized youth's internalizing symptoms may depend on which subtype of victimization is considered.…”

“…A number of more recent investigations have examined the protective roles of parental and teacher support in the context of peer victimization. Whereas research findings regarding parental support have been mixed (Averdijk et al 2014;Bilsky et al 2013;Cheng et al 2008;Desjardins and Leadbeater 2011;Papafratzeskakou et al 2011;Stadler et al 2010;Yeung and Leadbeater 2010), stronger evidence has emerged for the buffering effect of teacher support among victimized youth (Averdijk et al 2014;Davidson and Demaray 2007;Stadler et al 2010;Yeung and Leadbeater 2010).…”

“…One study revealed that regardless of gender, overt victimization was positively associated with depressive symptoms at low, but not high, levels of peer social support (Papafratzeskakou et al 2011). In contrast, other findings suggest that the moderating effects of peer social support may differ for males and females (Cheng et al 2008;Lim et al 2011;Schmidt and Bagwell 2007).…”

The current study examined whether peer social support, alone or in conjunction with peer delinquency, moderated the relations between overt and relational victimization, depressive symptoms, and rule-breaking behavior. Participants included 152 adolescents (55% male; 95% Latino) between the ages of 14-19 and their second-hour teacher. Findings indicated that peer social support buffered the association between relational victimization and depressive symptoms. Overt victimization was uniquely related to increased rule-breaking behavior, but unrelated to depressive symptoms. Peer social support and peer delinquency interacted to influence the association between relational victimization and rule-breaking behavior. When levels of both social support and peer delinquency were high, relational victimization marginally significantly predicted increased rule-breaking behavior. Relational victimization was unrelated to rule-breaking behavior when levels of peer delinquency were high and social support were low. The moderating effects of peer social support did not differ according to gender. Implications of findings and directions for future research are discussed.

“…Parental and peer support are both positively correlated with one another, and negatively correlated with depressive symptoms in youth victimized by bullying (Papafratzeskakou, Kim, Longo, & Riser, 2011). Support from teachers, classmates, and parents can also improve school satisfaction and academic success and indirectly influence students' life satisfaction (Danielsen, Samdal, Hetland, & Wold, 2009).…”

This article describes an emerging model of trauma-informed supports for school climate and bullying prevention developed through a social research design and development approach. Student survey data were used to inform program design. The study was conducted as part of baseline data collection for a federal Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant awarded to a cooperative group of 10 school districts in upstate New York. A local university partnered with the cooperative to design an innovative program model to enhance bullying prevention and provide social-emotional and mental health supports for students. In addition to descriptive data, findings from multinomial logistic regression analyses are provided to understand the relative influence of the independent variables on the students' report of bully-aggressor behavior and victim-bystander experiences.
