“…In other words, the experience of victimization during adolescence is related to many negative effects (Hawker & Boulton, 2000) including poorer social skills in school (Navarro et al, 2012) and impeded psychological adjustment (Van Geel et al, 2018). Resnik and Bellmore (2019) conducted an empirical study among high school students and found that adolescents who experience victimization demonstrate deficits in both their offline and online social competence. In another study, Morrow et al (2019) has demonstrated that peer victimization predicted decreased daily perceived social competence.…”

Although a considerable body of research has documented the association between victimization experience and adolescent mental health, previous studies have not investigated the mediating effects of personality characteristics such as social competence and self-mastery on the associations between cyberbullying victimization and mental health. This study aims to fill in this research gap. Random group sampling based on grade was employed, and a total of 607 adolescents (51.07% females, Mage = 15.04) were recruited to participate in the study. The findings of the present study partially supported the hypotheses. Specifically, the results showed that cyberbullying victimization was positively associated with social anxiety and depression. Self-mastery was found to mediate the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and symptoms of depression and social anxiety. Social competence was found to be negatively related to social anxiety, but no mediating effect was found between cyberbullying victimization and symptoms of mental health. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

“…Third, we relied exclusively on self‐report data which may, in turn, capture a disconnect between adolescents’ self‐perceptions and actual social experiences (e.g., friendships; victimization). As such, it may be that adolescents who are victimized are less socially competent and misperceive who their friends are or the support they provide (Resnik & Bellmore, 2019). Also, very few adolescents reported not having friends across the school year; therefore, we were unable to differentiate between those who reported unstable friendships and those who reported no friends at all in our models.…”

Introduction: Although prior research has considered how friendship quality or quantity influence peer victimization risk and vice versa, considerably less is known about how friendship instability (i.e., high levels of friend turnover) and peer victimization may be related to each other across time. Methods: Survey data were collected from 9th grade students (N = 388; M age = 14.05; 60.60% female; 35.8% male; 1.8% non-binary; 1.9% trans/unsure/something else) across 3-month intervals spanning one school year. Using cross-lagged panel modeling, this study investigated cross-lagged longitudinal associations between friendship instability and peer victimization utilizing three waves of data collected across one academic year. Results: Adolescents experiencing greater peer victimization at the beginning of the school year were more likely to experience friendship instability by the end of the school year. However, friendship instability at the beginning of the school year was unrelated to subsequent peer victimization. Conclusion: Peer victimized adolescents are less likely than their nonvictimized peers to maintain stable friendships over time. Findings suggest that adolescents who are victimized by peers after transitioning to high school may have difficulty maintaining friendships.

“…Asynchronicity and cue absence of social media may offer opportunities for adolescents to practice interacting in a less anxietyprovoking setting yet could also hinder the development of social skills needed in offline contexts. Importantly, in one recent study with U.S. high schoolers, online and offline social skills were only modestly correlated, suggesting that these constructs are related but still distinct (Resnik & Bellmore, 2019). Similarly, only low to moderate convergence has been found between FtF and computer-mediated contexts regarding the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics required for FtF and text-based communication (Schulze et al, 2017).…”

The transformation framework (Nesi et al., 2018a, 2018b) describes the ways in which the features of social media shape adolescents’ peer experiences. In the current chapter, we build on this work in three ways. First, we expand on our previous conceptualization to consider the role of algorithms as a key feature of social media. Second, we offer an updated review of the ways in which social media transforms a range of peer experiences, including peer status, peer influence, victimization, and other interpersonal behaviors and skills. Finally, we describe the translational implications of the transformation framework for adolescents’ educators, providers, and parents.
