“…We found, however, weaker associations of parental reports of victimization with children's self-reported health symptoms compared to children's reports of victimization associated with health symptoms. Victimization as reported by teachers also showed weaker associations with children's health symptoms, and this finding corresponds with results from a recent study [ 29 ]. It has been suggested [ 8 ] that if exposures and outcomes are simultaneously reported (shared variance), this may result in stronger associations than if the information is derived from different sources.…”

“…Only a few studies have assessed the concordance between children's self-reports of victimization and teachers' reports. Of these, Nuijens et al [ 29 ] found no concordance, while other results [ 19 , 30 ] are fairly similar to ours. The agreement - discordance between self-reports and parental reports has rarely been assessed [ 19 ], but in a recent such study [ 31 ], the estimated consistency for children who reported to be victimized was higher than in our study, but lower for children who perceived themselves not to be victimized.…”

Peer victimization as reported by children, teachers, and parents in relation to children's health symptoms

BackgroundVictims of bullying in school may experience health problems later in life. We have assessed the prevalence of children's health symptoms according to whether peer victimization was reported by the children, by their teachers, or by their parents.MethodsIn a cross-sectional study of 419 children in grades 1-10 the frequency of peer victimization was reported by children, teachers and parents. Emotional and somatic symptoms (sadness, anxiety, stomach ache, and headache) were reported by the children.Frequencies of victimization reported by different informants were compared by the marginal homogeneity test for paired ordinal data, concordance between informants by cross-tables and Spearman's rho, and associations of victimization with health symptoms were estimated by logistic regression.ResultsThe concordance of peer victimization reported by children, teachers, and parents varied from complete agreement to complete discordance also for the highest frequency (weekly/daily) of victimization. Children's self-reported frequency of victimization was strongly and positively associated with their reports of emotional and somatic symptoms. Frequency of victimization reported by teachers or parents showed similar but weaker associations with the children's health symptoms.ConclusionThe agreement between children and significant adults in reporting peer victimization was low to moderate, and the associations of reported victimization with the children's self-reported health symptoms varied substantially between informants. It may be useful to assess prospectively the effects of employing different sources of information related to peer victimization.

“…Second, all data were collected via self-report, which may have inflated some of the associations reported here. Although it is important to consider perceptions and personal reports of behavior when studying RS, blame and behavioral responses to rejection threat, research has demonstrated that there may be differences between correlates of perceptions and correlates of similar constructs based on other informants (Hoffman et al 2000;Nuijens et al 2009;ZimmerGembeck et al 2007;Zimmer-Gembeck and Pronk 2012). However, standardized stimuli were provided to assess the adolescents' anticipated responses to rejection threat to improve validity and accuracy over retrospective recall (by self or peers) of actual events and reactions.…”

In this longitudinal study, attributional and social processes involved in symptoms of mental health problems (depressive symptoms and aggressive behavior) were identified by investigating anxious and angry rejection sensitivity (RS), causal attributions of self-blame and peer-blame, and responses to rejection threat of withdrawal and retribution. Young adolescents (N = 713, grades 5-7) completed questionnaires three times in their regular classrooms over 14 months. Participants who reported more self-blame for rejection were more likely to withdraw in response to rejection threat, and withdrawal and anxious RS were associated with increased depressive symptoms at T3 relative to T1. In contrast, adolescents higher in the angry form of RS and who reported more peer-blame for rejection were more likely to seek retribution, which in turn was associated with more overt/relational aggressive behavior at T3 relative to T1. Depressive symptom level measured at T1 also was associated with later RS and coping with withdrawal, and aggressive behavior at T1 was associated with later retribution. Sex of the participants did not moderate any longitudinal associations, and only one prospective path, from T1 depressive symptoms to T2 RS anxious, was moderated by age.

“…16,17 Downward comparison and self-other perceptual discrepancy in estimations of media influences have been found to work as a coping mechanism to reduce people's psychological stress and enhance their subjective well-being. 15,[18][19][20] Those who experience negative emotions (e.g., stress) tend to use downward comparisons to lift their mood. 1,[21][22][23] Therefore, it is reasonable to hypothesize the following:…”

Expanding third-person effect (TPE) research to digital disinformation, this article investigates the impact of COVID-19 digital fake news exposure on individuals' perceived susceptibility of influence on themselves, their close others, and their distant others. Findings from a survey of 511 Chinese respondents suggest that, overall, individuals would perceive themselves to be less vulnerable than close others and distant others to the impact of COVID-19 digital disinformation. The highest self-other perceptual discrepancy is found when individuals receive disinformation on mobile social networking apps. Also, individuals who practice more active fact-checking perceive themselves to be less susceptible. The perception of disinformation effects on self as well as the self-other perceptual discrepancy is both positively related to emotional responses (anxiety, fear, and worry) to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study contributes to existing research by linking exposure to disinformation in different digital channels, the TPEs, and emotional outcomes in the context of a public health crisis. It also highlights the importance of educating and enabling factchecking behaviors on digital media, which could help to reduce negative emotional impact of the disinformation.
