“…That is, even taking into account changes in depressed mood, early depressed mood was related to later cyber-aggression. Accumulated research has established a prospective relationship between internalizing and victimization (Reijntjes et al, 2010). Consistent with this work, our findings suggest that early depressed mood is indeed a risk factor for victimization and also for perpetration.…”

“…Furthermore, children who are not victimized but display depressive symptoms at the start of a school year are at increased risk for victimization six months later (Fekkes, Pijpers, Fredriks, Vogels, & Verloove-Vanhorick, 2006). A recent meta-analysis of 18 longitudinal studies also confirms this prospective relationship between internalizing and victimization (Reijntjes, Kamphuis, Prinzie, & Telch , 2010). Victims of bullying also report more negative self-related cognitions (Cook et al, 2010) and this link holds over time, with negative self-perceptions prospectively predicting victimization one year later (Salmivalli & Isaacs, 2005).…”

Technologically mediated contexts are social arenas in which adolescents can be both perpetrators and victims of aggression. Yet, there remains little understanding of the developmental etiology of cyber aggression, itself, as experienced by either perpetrators or victims. The current study examines three-year latent within-person trajectories of known correlates of cyber-aggression, problem behavior, (low) self-esteem, and depressed mood, in a large and diverse sample of youth (N = 1364; 54.6% female; 12-14 years old at T1 ). Findings demonstrate that developmental increases in problem behavior across grades 8-10 predict both cyber-perpetration and victimization in grade 11. Developmental decreases in self-esteem also predicted both grade 11 perpetration and victimization. Finally, early depressed mood predicted both perpetration and victimization later on, regardless of developmental change in depressed mood in the interim. Our results reveal a clear link between risky developmental trajectories across the early high school years and later cyber-aggression and imply that mitigating trajectories of risk early on may lead to decreases in cyber-aggression at a later date.

“…In addition, the meta analysis by Reijntjes, Kamphuis, Prinzie, and Telch (2010), the randomized controlled intervention study by Witvliet, van Lier, Cuijpers, and Koot (2009) and the short term prospective investigation by Schwartz, McFayden Ketchum, Dodge, Pettit, and Bates (1998) support the idea that peer problems and internalizing/externalizing problems are closely related.…”

“…To date, however, relatively little is known about the factors that predict temporary and chronic victimization during primary and secondary school. Nevertheless, important clues can be derived from short-term longitudinal studies, which suggest that pre-existing aggression or PREDICTORS OF PEER VICTIMIZATION TRAJECTORIES 6 internalizing behavior problems are among the most important risk factors of peer victimization (Reijntjes et al, 2011;Reijntjes, Kamphuis, Prinzie, & Telch, 2010). Whereas children who exhibit internalizing symptoms may be seen as "easy targets", aggressive children may become victimized because their behavior irritates or provokes potential bullies.…”

Using a sample of 767 children (403 girls, 364 boys), this study aimed to (a) identify groups with distinct trajectories of peer victimization over a 6-year period from primary school through the transition to secondary school, and (b) examine the associated personal (i.e., aggression or internalizing problems) and familial (family status, socioeconomic status, the parent-child relationship) predictors. Peer victimization was assessed via self-reports from Grades 4 through 9 (ages 10 through 15 years), aggression and internalizing problems were assessed in Grade 4 via peer nominations, and the parent-child relationship was assessed in Grade 7 (i.e., right after the transition to secondary school) via parent-reports. Growth Mixture modeling revealed 1 group (62%) who experienced little victimization in primary school and even less in secondary school, another group (31%) who was victimized in primary but not or much less in secondary school, and a third group (7%) who was chronically victimized in both school contexts. Boys were more likely than girls to follow any elevated victimization trajectory. Chronic victimization across primary and secondary school was predicted by nonintact family status and a combination of both internalizing problems and aggression compared with nonvictimized youth. In contrast, transitory victimization during primary but not in secondary school was predicted by aggression, but not internalizing problems. Support as well as conflict in the parent-child relationship also showed significant, albeit distinct associations with the different peer victimization trajectories.
