The role of pets in human and social service provisions
Introduction: Pet ownership is common in the United States, yet companion animals are rarely considered in healthcare and social service systems. Although pets can enhance wellbeing and provide social and emotional support, they may also present barriers to care. Individuals may delay or forgo medical treatment, housing, or social services due to concern for their pets, particularly in the absence of temporary pet care options or pet-inclusive se…

The role of colorblind racism and white fragility in maintaining racist bullying in middle school
The present study sought to understand how colorblind racism (CBR) and white fragility (WF) influence the presence and perpetration of racist bullying in a middle school setting. Five focus groups and one interview ( n = 20) were conducted with school administrators, teachers, and racially and ethnically diverse students to elicit their experiences and perspectives concerning racist bullying. Focus groups were analyzed using template analysis. Ra…

Informal Help-Seeking Intention Among Youth Transitioning From High School
Peer Leaders as Gatekeepers and Agents of Change
Differences in School Staff Attitudes, Perceptions, Self-Efficacy Beliefs, and Intervention Likelihood by Form of Student Victimization
Objective: Staff intervention is critical for the prevention of peer victimization in school settings. However, the likelihood that staff will intervene may depend on the form of victimization to which students are exposed. We examined the likelihood of certified (e.g., teachers, school social workers) and noncertified (e.g., paraprofessionals, teachers’ aides, custodial staff) elementary school staff intervention with students targeted by differ…
Peer Victimization Among Detained Youth
Associations between different forms of peer victimization and school absences
Given the significant negative impacts of peer victimization on youth development, studies have sought to understand what buffers against these consequences. To that end, the present study examined whether teacher attachment and perceptions of school safety moderated the associations between different forms of victimization and school absences over the course of an academic year among a sample of 272 high school students. Findings indicated that …
Two-Part Models for Father–Child Relationship Variables
Parent-child relationship variables are often measured using a two-part approach. For example, when assessing the warmth of the father-child relationship, a child is first asked if they have contact with their father; if so, the level of warmth they feel toward him is ascertained. In this setting, data on the warmth measure is missing for children without contact with their father, and such missing data can pose a significant methodological and s…
The mediating role of willingness to seek help on the relationship between peer victimization and mental health outcomes
Racial equity in academic success
Analyzing Skewed Continuous Outcomes With Many Zeros
Prevention researchers often analyze nonnegative continuous outcomes that are skewed and contain many zero observations. Variables with these features can arise when investigators measure low-base-rate behaviors (e.g., bullying, substance use) or use measurement tools that cannot differentiate individuals with low standing on the target construct. Common analytic procedures such as linear regression are often inappropriate for such data and may r…
Classroom-Level Differences in Child-Level Bullying Experiences
Objective: Bullying occurs within children’s peer groups and in classroom and school settings. Accordingly, this study aims to characterize student-level heterogeneity and change in bullying experiences by classifying students into bully/victim subgroups and to characterize how these child-level bullying experiences coalesce at the classroom and school levels. Method: A sample of 692 students in Grades 3–5 from 6 elementary schools self-reported …

Parental school involvement as a moderator of the association between peer victimization and academic performance
Transitions between subclasses of bullying and victimization when entering middle school
We examined the effects of depressive symptoms, antisocial attitudes, and perspective-taking empathy on patterns of bullying and victimization during the transition from late elementary (4th grade to 5th grade) to middle school (6th grade) among 1,077 students who participated in the Youth Matters (YM) bullying prevention trial. Latent transition analysis was used to establish classes of bullying, victimization, bully-victimization, and uninvolve…
Effects of the KiVa Antibullying Program on Cyberbullying and Cybervictimization Frequency Among Finnish Youth
Cyberbullying among school-aged children has received increased attention in recent literature. However, no empirical evidence currently exists on whether existing school-based antibullying programs are effective in targeting the unique aspects of cyberbullying. To address this important gap, the present study investigates the unique effects of the KiVa Antibullying Program on the frequency of cyberbullying and cybervictimization among elementary…
Effects of the Youth Matters Prevention Program on Patterns of Bullying and Victimization in Elementary and Middle School
The authors examined the effects of a prevention program, Youth Matters (YM), on patterns of bullying and victimization among a sample of 876 public school students in grades 4, 5, and 6. Latent class analysis was used to establish classes of bullying, victimization, bully-victimization, and uninvolved students. Prevalence rates and transition patterns associated with bullying and victimization were assessed at four time points. Participants in t…

Cyber and traditional peer victimization

Assessing a Measure of Femininity Ideology for Low-Income, Latina Adolescent Girls
The purpose of the study presented here was to examine whether a measure of femininity ideology, normed on largely white, middle-class samples of adolescent girls, could be verified among a sample of low-income Latina adolescents. The results revealed that the previously identified factor structure could not be confirmed for this sample, which brings the scales’ validity for use with low-income, Latina samples into question. These findings sugges…

Patterns of Aggressive Behavior and Peer Victimization from Childhood to Early Adolescence
Identifying Predictors of Instrumental and Reactive Aggression Among Low-Income Minority Adolescent Girls
Research on both the forms and functions of aggression has yet to include the experiences of low-income minority adolescent girls, particularly Latinas. The present study addresses this limitation by applying ecological systems theory to identify risk and protective factors across multiple domains that increase and mitigate aggressive behavior among a sample of 212 low-income minority adolescent girls, primarily Latinas. Using hierarchical regres…
