Abstract: Previous studies showed that social capital may serve as a source of resilience for students in risky situations (Aldrich, 2012; Kokubun et al., 2020; Kordan et al., 2019; Pfefferbaum et al., 2017). The current study aimed to explore a possible association between one indicator of middle school students' social capital -- school attachment -- and resilience for students targeted in peer victimization. Specifically, it examined whether school attachment serves as a moderator of the relation between experiences with peer victimization (including physical, relational, and cyber victimization) and two positive outcomes (i.e., self-esteem and prosocial behavior) by using structural equation modeling (SEM). Data was collected in the spring semester of 2017. The sample included 247 sixth through eighth grade students recruited from a public middle school in the Midwestern United States. Participants were between the age of 11 and 15 years (M = 12.66, SD = 0.95), and 50.2% were boys. Results indicated that peer victimization was significantly negatively associated with students' self-esteem, and school attachment was significantly positively associated with self-esteem. The interaction between peer victimization and school attachment was not significant in the current study, but the simple slope analysis and graphical representations indicated a protective-reactive resilience trend that school attachment could moderate the negative relationship between peer victimization and students' self-esteem. No main effects or evidence of moderation were found with prosocial behavior as the outcome variable. There is a clear need for future studies to confirm and further explore these associations.
