Abstract:
|
The goals of this study were to examine cross-gender relational aggression during adolescence and how it may be related to depression and self-esteem. Specifically of interest was how gender composition of aggressor-victim dyads may relate differently to depression and self-esteem reported by victims. This study was conducted using a survey with 35 freshman at a Northern California high school. Results support the linkage between victimization and depression for all groups where self-esteem was associated with only same-gender aggressor-victim dyads. Genders differences were found in the ratings of harmfulness of relational aggression tactics. Limitations and future implications are discussed. |
