“…In contrast to findings from normative samples that have found a stronger association between victimization and depression than anxiety [30,38], the magnitude of victimization in relation to either anxiety or depression were very similar in our study ( r s = .36–39 and .33–42 for anxiety and depression, respectively). Nevertheless, results from the regression analyses demonstrate the importance of distinguishing between depression and anxiety among adolescents with ADHD.…”

The purposes of the present study were to (1) describe rates of peer victimization in young adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), (2) evaluate the association between types of peer victimization (i.e., physical, relational, reputational) and internalizing problems (i.e., anxiety, depression, self-esteem), and (3) examine whether associations between victimization and internalizing problems differ for males or females. Participants were 131 middle school students (ages 11–15 years, 73% male, 76% White) diagnosed with ADHD who completed ratings of victimization, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Over half of participants (57%) reported experiencing at least one victimization behavior at a rate of once per week or more, with higher rates of relational victimization (51%) than reputational victimization (17%) or physical victimization (14%). Males reported experiencing more physical victimization than females but males and females did not differ in rates of relational or reputational victimization. Whereas relational and physical victimization were both uniquely associated with greater anxiety for both males and females, relational victimization was associated with greater depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem for males but not females. These findings indicate that young adolescents with ADHD frequently experience peer victimization, and that the association between victimization and internalizing problems among young adolescents with ADHD differs as a result of victimization type, internalizing domain, and sex.

“…We identified only six relevant papers. Of these, one had not adjusted for key confounders, including baseline depressive symptoms,13 and two others had not adjusted for earlier behavioural problems14 48 that might themselves have led to both victimisation and later depression. Two other studies15 16 have only found statistical evidence for an association for children who are both the victims and the perpetrators of bullying.…”

Peer victimisation during adolescence and its impact on depression in early adulthood: prospective cohort study in the United Kingdom

PartiCiPants 6719 participants who reported on peer victimisation at age 13 years. Main OutCOMe MeasuresDepression defined according to international classification of diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) criteria, assessed using the clinical interview schedule-revised during clinic assessments with participants when they were aged 18 years. 3898 participants had data on both victimisation by peers at age 13 years and depression at age 18 years. resultsOf the 683 participants who reported frequent victimisation at age 13 years, 101 (14.8%) were depressed according to ICD-10 criteria at 18 years; of the 1446 participants reporting some victimisation at age 13 years, 103 (7.1%) were depressed at age 18 years; and of the 1769 participants reporting no victimisation at age 13 years, 98 (5.5%) were depressed at age 18 years. Compared with children who were not victimised those who were frequently victimised by peers had over a twofold increase in odds of depression (odds ratio 2.96, 95% confidence interval 2.21 to 3.97, P<0.001). This association was slightly reduced when adjusting for confounders (2.32, 1.49 to 3.63, P<0.001). The population attributable fraction suggested that 29.2% (95% confidence interval 10.9% to 43.7%) of depression at age 18 years could be explained by peer victimisation if this were a causal relation. COnClusiOnWhen using observational data it is impossible to be certain that associations are causal. However, our results are consistent with the hypothesis that victimisation by peers in adolescence is associated with an increase in the risk of developing depression as an adult.

“…For example, childhood victimization has been found to predict subsequent increases in childhood and adolescent depression (Schwartz, Lansford, Dodge, Pettit, & Bates, ; Schwartz et al ., ). However, results from other studies have not supported the contention that depression arises as a consequence of peer victimization, but instead suggest that depression precedes victimization (e.g., Herres & Kobak, ; Vaillancourt, Brittain, McDougall, & Duku, ).…”

This study explored the longitudinal relations among peer victimization, depression, and academic achievement in Chinese primary school students. Participants were N = 945 fourth-grade students (485 boys, 460 girls; M = 10.16 years, SD = 2 months) attending elementary schools in Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Three waves of data on peer victimization, depression, and academic achievement were collected from peer nominations, self-reports, and school records, respectively. The results indicated that peer victimization had both direct and indirect effects on later depression and academic achievement. Depression also had both direct and indirect negative effects on later academic achievement, but demonstrated only an indirect effect on later peer victimization. Finally, academic achievement had both direct and indirect negative effects on later peer victimization and depression. The findings show that there are cross-cultural similarities and differences in the various transactions that exist among peer victimization, depression, and academic achievement. Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject? Peer victimization directly and indirectly relates to depression and academic achievement. Depression directly and indirectly relates to academic achievement. Academic achievement directly and indirectly relates to depression. What the present study adds? A developmental cascade approach was used to assess the interrelations among peer victimization, depression, and academic achievement. Academic achievement mediates the relation between peer victimization and depression. Depression is related to peer victimization through academic achievement. Academic achievement directly and indirectly relates to peer victimization. Academic achievement is related to depression through peer victimization.
