TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Developmental associations between bullying victimization and suicidal ideation and direct self-injurious behavior in adolescence and emerging adulthood JO - Journal of child psychology and psychiatry A1 - Zhu, Xinxin A1 - Griffiths, Helen A1 - Eisner, Manuel A1 - Hepp, Urs A1 - Ribeaud, Denis A1 - Murray, Aja Louise SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - BACKGROUND: Bullying, suicide, and self-injury are significant issues among young people. Extensive research has documented bullying victimization associations with suicidal ideation and self-injury; however, the modeling approaches used have mostly not addressed the relations between these constructs at the within-person level, and it is these links that are critical for testing developmental theories and guiding intervention efforts. This examined the within-person, bidirectional relations between these constructs in adolescence and emerging adulthood.

METHODS: Participants were from the Zurich Project on Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood (z-proso). Random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPMs) were fit to general and sexual bullying victimization and suicidal ideation data at ages 15, 17, and 20 (n = 1465), and general and sexual victimization and direct self-injurious behavior data at ages 13, 15, 17, and 20 (n = 1482).

RESULTS: There was a positive within-person effect of age 15 general bullying victimization on age 17 suicidal ideation (β = .10) and age 17 suicidal ideation on age 20 general bullying victimization (β = .14).

CONCLUSIONS: General bullying victimization and suicidal ideation may have detrimental effects on each other over development but at different stages.
