| Abstract | The moderating role of friendship (attributes of friends and quality of friendship) in the relation between peer victimization and externalizing and internalizing problems (academic disengagement, low GPA, and depression) was studied. Five hundred twenty-one adolescents in the ninth grade (289 girls, 223 boys, 9 unknown; average age of 14.62 years), were recruited from a high school in Downey, Los Angeles. Data was collected using a peer nomination inventory, self-report measures, and a review of school records. The moderating role of friendship differed as a function of the behavioral attributes of the victimized peer s friends; peer victimization was associated with depression when adolescents had low proportions of non-aggressive friends. Another interesting finding was that adolescents who were doing well in school (high academic engagement and GPA) seemed to be more vulnerable to victimization. Finally, the quality of friendship did not mitigate the relation between peer victimization and negative outcomes. |
