“…Being rejected—or disliked—leads to increases in aggression over time (e.g., Cillessen & Mayeux, 2004; Dodge et al, 2003; Lansford et al, 2010; Miller-Johnson et al, 2002; Ojanen & Findley-Van Nostrand, 2014). Given the deleterious effects of peer aggression on victims’ mental (Christina et al, 2021; Schwartz et al, 2015) and physical health (Bogart et al, 2014; Gini et al, 2014), it is essential to effectively reduce perpetration. This requires a comprehensive understanding of youth’s social cognitions that may motivate their aggression.…”

In adolescence, being rejected by one's peers is positively associated with aggression. However, whether self-perceptions of being rejected or accepted by peers, and biases in these perceptions, are linked to aggression remains unclear, as the literature points to 2 perspectives: Youth are more likely to be aggressive when they (a) know or believe that they are rejected or (b) overestimate their acceptance. By addressing some of the limitations of prior studies, this study aimed to clarify how self-perceptions of status are related to concurrent and future aggression, and whether high levels of aggression are predictive of biased self-perceptions of acceptance and rejection. Data were collected in 2 consecutive school years from 572 high school students (M age = 15.06, SD = .75; 55.4% girls). The ethnic/racial composition of the sample was 47.5% Asian, 43.1% Latino/Hispanic, 4.0% White, and 5.3% other. For well-liked youth, awareness of one's acceptance was positively associated with concurrent relational aggression, whereas for highly rejected youth, awareness of one's rejection was positively associated with concurrent overt aggression. Awareness of being rejected (i.e., high levels of both self-perceived and actual rejection) was associated with elevated levels of aggression over time. There was no evidence that youth with high levels of aggression had more biased perceptions of their status (concurrently or longitudinally) than youth with low levels of aggression. These findings help clarify how youth's status-related perceptions relate to the development of aggression.

“…Of note, I tested my mediation model based on self-reported victimisation experiences and again using peer-reported information. Previous research suggests there to be a differential effect between the two nomination types, with self-reported victimisation to be more strongly related to internalising symptoms than peer-reported victimisation (Christina et al, 2021). I took the initiative to test my mediation model for both nomination types and therefore expanding previous research by examining whether there is also a differential effect regarding the role of interpersonal traits in explaining victims' depression symptoms.…”

“…In TRAILS, the hostility and assertiveness facets of the NEO-PI-R were assessed (Costa & McCrae, 1985, 1992. These facets there to be a differential pattern between the two nomination styles, with self-reported victimisation to be more strongly related to internalising symptoms than peer-reported victimisation (Christina et al, 2021).

“…In a similar vein, we tested the bullying victimisation-depression relation both for self-reported and peer-reported bullying victimisation nominations. Studies suggest there to be a differential effect between the two nomination types, with self-reported victimisation to be more strongly related to internalising symptoms than peer-reported victimisation (Christina et al, 2021). Taking advantage of the TRAILS data set containing both measures, we therefore explored whether our mediation model holds true for both nomination types.…”

“…Ik heb mijn mediatiemodel getoetst op basis van zelfgerapporteerd pest-slachtofferschap (Npestslachtoffer = 274, Npestslachtoffer-en-pester = 73, Npester = 228 en Nniet-gepest = 1498) en secundair met behulp van door leeftijdgenoten-gerapporteerde informatie over wie in de klas werd gepest (Npestslachtoffer = 74, Npestslachtoffer-en-pester = 40, Npester = 60 en Nniet-gepest = 794). Eerder onderzoeksuggereert dat er een verschil bestaat tussen deze twee manieren om pest-slachtofferschap te identificeren, waarbij zelfgerapporteerd slachtofferschap sterker gerelateerd is aan internaliserende symptomen dan door leeftijdgenoten gerapporteerd slachtofferschap(Christina et al, 2021). Ik nam het initiatief om mijn model voor beide operationalisaties van pestslachtofferschap te toetsen.…”

Bullying Victimisation through an Interpersonal Lens: Focussing on Social Interactions and Risk for Depression

Franzen¹

In comparison to persons without bullying experiences, victims of bullying have been suggested to have more maladaptive interpersonal characteristics and more interpersonal conflicts.However, these findings are mostly based on retrospective questionnaire-based studies, whereas victims' interpersonal attributes have barely been systematically studied. As a consequence, little is known about causal or predictive relations between victimisation and interpersonal functioning. To fill this gap, in this commentary, we call for studying the interpersonal characteristics of victims of bullying using (1) performance-based measures of interpersonal functioning, (2) experimental designs focusing on the manipulation of interpersonal processes, and (3) intensive-repeated measures of interpersonal functioning in naturalistic settings. We argue that applying those methods can help to better understand victims' interpersonal problems and may also help understand the role of victims' interpersonal characteristics in explaining their risk for mental health problems.
