Abstract

An adolescent cohort of 6th and 7th graders (N = 273) that experienced 9/11 showed a stronger escalating cycle between internalizing difficulties and peer victimization (internalizing predicted increases in victimization which in turn predicted increases in victimization) than an adolescent cohort that did not experience 9/11 (N = 224).
