Abstract
Adolescents who have high subjective experiences of perceived discrimination (PD) face an elevated risk of being bullied, both of which have been linked to adverse psychosocial outcomes. This study (a) assesses the association between PD and bullying victimization and (b) explores whether teacher support and family functioning moderate the hypothesized PD and bullying victimization relationship. Data are from Hispanic and Somali youth (N = 311, mean age = 15.9 years, standard deviation = 1.5) living in a midwestern city. About 75% of the sample reported some level of PD, and 33% reported bullying victimization. PD was associated with elevated incidence rate ratios of bullying victimization. Teacher support and family functioning were inversely associated with bullying victimization but did not moderate the relationship. These findings highlight the complex nature of social support in the PD and bullying victimization relationship.

We all face the difficult problem of understanding and treating the perpetrators and victims of violence behavior. Violence and Victims is the evidence-based resource that informs clinical decisions, legal actions, and public policy. Now celebrating its 25th year, Violence and Victims is a peer-reviewed journal of theory, research, policy, and clinical practice in the area of interpersonal violence and victimization. It seeks to facilitate the exchange of information on this subject across such professional disciplines as psychology, sociology, criminology, law, medicine, nursing, psychiatry, and social work.
