“…This article is intended solely for the personal use of the individual user and is not to be disseminated broadly. PEER VICTIMIZATION TYPOLOGY has shown to be somewhat inferior to Likert-type scaling options (see Cole et al, 2020). and importantly, our analyses do not account the potential effects of cultural or individual differences.…”

“…In college-age populations, researchers have typically relied upon PV typologies and structures that were validated for younger populations. One exception is Cole et al (2020) recent work, which captures the full range of peer victimization in college (PVIC). The items in their measure, the PVIC, were derived from personal experiences of college students, accounts from professionals that treat PV in college students, and extant measures of PV.…”

“…The types of, reasons for, and sequelae to victimization may be more complex in college students than they are for younger students (cf. Cole et al, 2020;Pina & Gannon, 2012;Rivers & Smith, 1994). Most child and adolescent researchers have divided PV into the following pairs of binary subtypes: relational versus physical (Grotpeter & Crick, 1996), overt versus covert (Kazdin, 1992), online versus offline (e.g., Sumter et al, 2015), bias based versus nonbias based (e.g., Jones et al, 2018;Mulvey et al, 2018), and verbal versus nonverbal (e.g., Blake et al, 2011).…”

“…In the present study, we opted to use psychological network modeling, a collection of methods that have gained popularity for emphasizing pairwise interconnections between explicit, observable, nonlatent variables (Hofmann et al, 2016). In this effort, we define lower order “subtypes” as the clusters of specific PV behaviors identified by Cole et al (2020), and we define “types” as higher order clusters of victimization subtypes. Approaching PV types and subtypes from a system–science view avoids the reflective latent variable assumption and instead examines structure via simultaneous consideration of all pairwise relations.…”

Objective: Types and subtypes of peer victimization (PV) behaviors have long been identified among school-age children and adolescents. The present study aims to establish such typologies for older adolescents and young adults who are still in school given the fact that colleges and universities are increasingly concerned about such behaviors among their students. Method: The present study develops a PV typology for college students via network psychometrics. Through Qualtrics Panels, a nationwide sample of 520 college students completed questionnaires concerning PV in college. As PV in younger populations has been associated with internalizing problems, the current participants also completed measures of depression, anxiety, and stress. Results: Four major results emerged. First, cluster and tetrad analyses revealed two broad formative types (personal/relational PV and abusive/exploitative PV) that effectively encompassed various subtypes. Second, PV subtypes constituted a small-world system in which verbal aggression, broken trust, and stereotyping were associated with risks of polyvictimization. Third, the two broad PV types were associated with depression-, anxiety-, and stress-related symptoms. Finally, results also showed that PV subtypes are better regarded as indicators of formative, not reflective, constructs. Conclusions: Results suggest that broadband social interventions could impact all PV subtypes except physical and sexual victimization. Future researchers should carefully consider when and when not to use factor-analytic approaches in studying PV.

Purpose This study aims to examine whether peer victimization predicted disordered eating behaviors during emerging adulthood, and if this relationship was mediated by perceived stress. Design/methodology/approach Participants included undergraduate females from a diverse university in the Southwestern USA who reported on their experiences of peer victimization, perceived stress and eating behaviors. Findings Mediation analysis revealed that perceived stress partially mediated the association between peer victimization and perceived stress. Peer victimization significantly predicted eating behaviors even after controlling for perceived stress. An exploratory analysis of the EAT-26 subscales was also conducted. Research limitations/implications The present study adds to the literature on peer victimization, eating behaviors and stress by allowing researchers to understand the complexity of these relationships within an emerging adulthood population. The present results can assist individuals working with this population in interventions to prevent instances of victimization, reduce stress and provide psychoeducation for eating disorders. Originality/value The present study adds to the literature on peer victimization, eating behaviors and stress by allowing researchers to understand the complexity of these relationships within a college population.

In today’s rapid development of information technology, social media has become an indispensable part of the daily communication of students in colleges and universities. The issue of student mental health is increasingly receiving widespread attention from society. As an essential position for mental health education, how to effectively utilize big data technology for students’ psychological nurturing and enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of mental health education has become an important issue in education. In this article, by creating a four-level psychological parenting model built on a positive psychology perspective, we study extensive data mining, deep learning and other methods to analyze students’ social media usage data and identify students’ mental health status. For the 225 students in this article, the anxiety and depression self-assessment scale scores decreased significantly (P<0.05) after the psychological parenting education intervention, indicating that big data technology enhances the effect of mental health education in colleges and universities. Association rule mining revealed a distinct connection between psychological problems, such as learning pressure and maladaptation, and students’ social media behavior patterns. The application of big data technology in this study helps colleges and universities identify and intervene in students’ mental health problems more accurately, promoting comprehensive development.
