1-067 - Bullying: Intergenerational Continuities, Sibling to Peer Effects, and Perceived Discrimination

Session Type: Paper Session

Integrative Statement

This paper session involves innovative research questions to increase understanding of bullying, a form of aggressive behavior, and inform public policy. The first paper involves an intergenerational community sample to examine prospective longitudinal associations between fathers' own childhood experiences of bullying or being victimized by peers and offspring behavior of bullying others or being teased by peers and mediation by offspring maladjustment. The second paper involves a large sample of children from Cyprus, Greece, United Kingdom, Qatar, Palestine, and Israel to examine cross-over effects from sibling to peer bullying and/or victimization and associations with psychosomatic and behavioral problems. The third paper involves data from a large prospective birth cohort study to examine prospective links between bullying victimization and perceived discrimination in adolescence and mental health problems in young adulthood.
