“…This contradicts with previous findings that being a victim is rather persistent across childhood and adolescence [50,53,56]. Different time frames may explain this finding in the present study.…”

“…Hodges and Perry [22] and Sweeting et al [56] particularly concluded that associations between bullying and internalising and social problems were reciprocal. This was also suggested by Sourander et al [53] in a follow-up from childhood to adolescence. In a preadolescent sample, Fekkes et al [17] showed that victimisation was followed by psychosomatic, depressive and anxiety symptoms.…”

The main objective was to analyse whether involvement in bullying at school predicts depression, and whether depression predicts involvement in bullying in middle adolescence. A total of 2,070 15-year-old girls and boys in two Finnish cities were surveyed at ninth grade (age 15) at schools, and followed up 2 years later in the Adolescent Mental Health Cohort Study (AMHC). Depression was measured by a Finnish modification of the 13-item short Beck Depression Inventory. Involvement in bullying was elicited by three questions focusing on being a bully, being a victim to bullying, and being left alone by peers against one's wishes. Similar questions were posed at both time points. Statistical analyses were carried out using cross-tabulations with chi-square/Fisher's Exact Test statistics, and logistic regression. The results summarized that, both being a victim to bullying and being a bully predicted later depression among boys. Among girls, depression at T1 predicted victimisation at T2. Depression at T1 predicted experience of being left alone at T2 among both sexes. It was concluded that victimisation to bullying may be a traumatising event that results in depression. However, depression also predicts experience of victimisation and of being left alone against one's wishes. Depression may impair an adolescent's social skills and self-esteem so that the adolescent becomes victimised by peers. However, depression may also distort and adolescent's experiences of social interactions.

“…When face-toface victimization is examined, low levels of psychological adjustment have been shown to place adolescents at risk. High levels of internalizing symptomology during childhood and adolescence predict subsequent victimization eight years later (Cook, Williams, Guerra, Kim, & Sadek, 2010;Sourander, Helstela, Helenius, & Piha, 2000). 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).…”

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.

“…No entanto, a partir desse modelo teórico e de alguns estudos é possível identificar variá-veis que favoreceriam a continuidade do comportamento anti-social e que podem ser consideradas como preditoras desse padrão comportamental na adolescência (Vuchinich & cols., 1992). Entre elas, além de variáveis individuais como auto-estima e depressão, destacam-se: (a) a ocorrência de comportamento anti-social em pelo menos um dos pais (Patterson & cols., 2000); (b) a idade de início desse padrão (Frick, Christian & Wooton, 1999;Sourander, Helstelä, Helenius & Piha, 2000) e a sua ocorrência em mais de um ambiente (Silva & Rosseti-Ferreira, 2002); (c) as práticas educativas parentais (DeBaryshe & cols., 1993;Pettit, Bates & Dodge, 1997).…”

RESUMO -O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar variáveis individuais e familiares preditoras do comportamento anti-social. Os participantes foram 148 adolescentes, autores de atos infracionais, e 163 adolescentes não-infratores. Os adolescentes responderam individualmente a uma entrevista estruturada, que investigou estratégias educativas parentais, variáveis familiares e aspectos relacionados ao desenvolvimento do comportamento infrator. Uma análise de conteúdo das respostas permitiu a delimitação das principais práticas educativas relatadas pelos jovens. Uma análise de regressão indicou que o comportamento anti-social de familiares, o número de irmãos, o uso de drogas pelo adolescente, os conflitos na família e as práticas educativas parentais explicaram 53% da variância do comportamento infrator. Os resultados apontaram a importância da família no desenvolvimento da conduta infratora.Palavras-chave: adolescente; comportamento infrator; práticas educativas. Family Variables that Predict Antisocial Behavior in Adolescents who Committed Criminal TransgressionsABSTRACT -The aim of the present study was to investigate individual and family variables that might predict delinquent behavior. The participants were 148 adolescents, institutionalized for committing criminal transgressions, and 163 adolescents who did not commit criminal transgressions. The participants were interviewed about parental practices, family variables, and other factors related to the development of the delinquent behavior. A content analysis of the answers allowed the delimitation of the main educational practices identified by the adolescents. Regression analysis showed that antisocial behavior of family members, number of siblings, drug use, conflicts within the family, and parental educational practices explained 53% of the variance of delinquent behavior. These results pointed to the importance of the family in the development of the delinquent behavior.
