19.5 Bullying and Other Victimization Exposures: Associations With Functioning and Developmental Considerations

Abstract

This presentation will 1) examine the extent to which peer victimization and cyberbullying are associated with mental health (i.e., depression, stress/anxiety, suicidality), binge drinking, and sexual risk-taking behaviors; and 2) assess whether associations among peer victimization, cyberbullying, and functioning remain after taking into account other exposures of victimization (i.e., psychological dating violence, physical dating violence, sexual assault). Analyses also will attend to developmental differences in relationships between victimization exposures and functioning.
