Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shell, Madelynn D.; Gazelle, Heidi; Faldowski, Richard A. – Developmental Psychology, 2014
Consistent with a Diathesis × Stress model, it was hypothesized that anxious solitude (individual vulnerability) and the middle school transition (environmental stress) would jointly predict peer exclusion and victimization trajectories. Youth (N = 688) were followed from 3rd through 7th grade, with the middle school transition in 6th grade.…
