Abstract
The present study examined the mediational role of emotion dysregulation in the relations between peer victimization, internalizing symptoms, and aggression. Participants were 253 predominantly African-American elementary school children from a low-income, high-risk environment. Results indicated that worry dysregulation partially mediated the associations between child-reported overt and relational victimization and anxiety symptoms. Evidence for partial mediation of the associations between self-reports of overt and relational victimization and aggression through anger dysregulation were also found. These results provide general support for notion that emotion dysregulation operates as a mechanism linking overt and relational victimization to internalizing symptoms and aggression. Directions for future research and implications for interventions targeting victimized youth are discussed.
