“…Our results support the limited available evidence about bullying experiences in adopted adolescents (e.g., Holmgren et al, 2019;Paniagua, Moreno, Sánchez-Queija, & Rivera, 2020) and contribute to expanding it. Domestic adoptees were more likely to experience occasional and frequent bullying and cyberbullying victimization, as well as frequent bullying and cyberbullying perpetration than their nonadopted peers.…”

“…The few already available studies on bullying among adopted adolescents have been conducted in Finland (Holmgren et al, 2019; Raaska et al, 2012) and Spain (e.g., Paniagua, Moreno, Sánchez-Queija, & Rivera, 2020) and consistently find that bullying is more frequent among adopted adolescents than in their nonadopted peers. For instance, using the 2014 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) Spanish data set, Paniagua, Moreno, Sánchez-Queija, and Rivera (2020) found that 21.3% domestic adolescents and 5.1% intercountry adoptees had been the targets of bullying, while the prevalence was 4.8% in the nonadopted comparison group. In their study of intercountry adoptees in Finland, Raaska et al (2012) reported that 19.8% had suffered bullying victimization, while 8% reported having bullied others.…”

“…First, we wanted to examine potential differences in bullying and cyberbullying (both victimization and perpetration) among adopted adolescents and their nonadopted peers. Beyond differences between adoptees and nonadoptees, previous research has shown differences in bullying between domestic and intercountry adoptees (Paniagua, Moreno, Sánchez-Queija, & Rivera, 2020), so potential differences between domestic adoptees, intercountry adoptees, and nonadopted adolescents were examined. Second, we analyzed differences between these three groups in student–teacher connectedness.…”

“…Regarding cyberbullying, to our knowledge, only two previous works have studied this phenomenon in adopted adolescents. Paniagua, Moreno, Sánchez-Queija, and Rivera (2020), using the 2014 HBSC Spanish data set, found that domestic adoptees (18.1%) were significantly more likely to have suffered cyberbullying victimization than intercountry adoptees (7.0%) or nonadoptees (3.9%). Román et al (2021), in an oral presentation about Eastern European adoptees in Spain specifically, concluded that cyberbullying was one of the less frequent forms of victimization and reported a prevalence of 2% in this group of adopted students.…”

Bullying and cyberbullying have rarely been studied among the adoptive population, although the few studies available show adopted students frequently experience these phenomena. To address this research gap, this article examined potential differences in bullying and cyberbullying between domestic adoptees, intercountry adoptees, and nonadopted students, paying separate attention to frequent and occasional victimization and perpetration experiences. In addition, the aims of the article include analyzing student–teacher connectedness in these groups and exploring its potential protective role for the aforementioned bullying and cyberbullying experiences. The sample consists of 541 adopted adolescents (67.1% intercountry adoptees and 32.9% domestic adoptees) and 582 nonadopted adolescents aged 11–18 years who had participated in the 2017/2018 edition of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study in Spain. Results show that the likelihood of involvement in bullying and cyberbullying (either victimization or perpetration) was lower for the nonadopted group, whereas domestic adoptees were significantly more likely to report these experiences. Furthermore, student–teacher connectedness was lower among domestic adoptees compared to their nonadopted peers. Finally, teacher connectedness was consistently associated with a lower likelihood of frequent bullying and cyberbullying victimization, and of both occasional and frequent cyberbullying perpetration. Overall, our findings are consistent with an increased risk of bullying and cyberbullying among domestic adoptees and a predominantly consistent protective role of student–teacher connectedness, although differences depending on the specific kind of experience deserve further examination in future research.

“…The bullying victimization experiences encountered by internationally adopted teens have been explored in few studies (i.e., Ferrari et al, 2022;Paniagua et al, 2022). Recent studies in Spain suggest that internationally adopted adolescents aged between 11 and 15 years are no more involved in bullying or cyberbullying episodes than their non-adopted peers, with the percentage of victims being similar in both groups (Paniagua et al, 2020(Paniagua et al, , 2022. Raaska et al (2012) found that about 20% of internationally adopted children in Finland reported being victimized at school.…”

BackgroundLittle is known about bullying experienced by internationally adopted teens residing in Europe.ObjectivesWithin the framework of an international research effort involving several European countries, the main goal of this study was to explore the experiences of bullying victimization suffered by adopted adolescents, as well as its impact on their psychological adjustment.MethodsThe sample consisted of 199 adolescents born in Eastern European countries and adopted in France (n = 50), Italy (n = 59), Norway (n = 25) and Spain (n = 65).ResultsMore than half of the adopted adolescents had been exposed to some form of peer victimization in the previous 2 months, with verbal harassment and social exclusion being the most common forms of victimization. Differences between receiving countries were not statistically significant, suggesting a common pattern for Eastern European adopted adolescents living in Western Europe. More frequent experiences of peer victimization were associated with more psychological difficulties among the adopted adolescents.ConclusionsFindings highlight that adopted adolescents might have considerable difficulties in social integration with peers; these experiences of peer victimization might play an important role hindering their psychosocial adjustment. The socioemotional development of adopted people is not only linked to their pre‐adoptive experiences; factors in their daily lives (i.e., peer relationships) may also be associated with their psychological adjustment later in life. Interventions are needed to promote the real inclusion of these groups of children in their social and educational contexts.
