Victimization and its associations with peer rejection and fear of victimization: Moderating effects of individual-level and classroom-level characteristics

摘要

Background. Past research has shown that peer victimization by bullying is associated with peer rejection and fear of victimization, but little is known about the interplay between victimization and other characteristics in the prediction of these experiences. We assume that the associations between victimization and peer rejection/fear of victimization are moderated by multiple characteristics, including aspects of peer ecology.
