Abstract
Low fearfulness and peer victimization are childhood predictors of externalizing problems. Less is known about whether these factors interact to predict externalizing problems. Child temperament, peer victimization, and externalizing symptoms were assessed in a community sample. Children who demonstrated low fearfulness and were bullied showed increased externalizing symptoms during adolescence.
