abstract="PURPOSE: To apply a diathesis × stress model to testing the association between peer victimization and depression in a sample of preadolescent girls. METHODS: DSM-IV symptoms of depression symptoms were measured at ages 9 and 11, assertiveness and peer victimization were assessed by youth report at age 9. RESULTS: The interaction of low levels of assertiveness and high peer victimization at age 9 was predictive of depression symptoms at age 11, controlling for earlier depression symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: The results extend the published data on peer relations and depression by identifying a group of girls who may be particularly vulnerable to the stress of negative peer interactions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
