Description
We are investigating the precursors, outcomes, and types of peer victimization and peer rejection in middle childhood. Sub-projects include: a) the multiple forms of peer victimization, b) internalizing problems in peer-victimized and peer-rejected children, c) the moderating role of classroom norms for aggressive behavior, d) the role of obesity in peer victimization, and e) the role of teachers in children’s peer rejection and victimization.
