Keyword: Childhood Adversity

Abstract: The study investigates the dimensional structure of youth victimization using data from 2419 participants(48%girls, Mage=12) in the ABCD Study. Three factors—direct violence, indirect violence, and peer victimization—were identified. Bayesian multivariate models revealed associations between victimization and developmental characteristics like delinquency, emphasizing the need for longitudinal research to clarify causal pathways.
