Abstract: This 1-year longitudinal study examined the moderating effects of group- and self-orientations on the relations between peer victimization and social, academic, and psychological adjustment in Chinese young adolescents. Participants included 323 sixth-grade students (165 boys, initial M[subscript age] = 12.5 years) in middle schools. Data on peer victimization, group- and self-orientations, and adjustment were obtained from multiple sources, including peer nominations, self-reports, teacher ratings, and school records. It was found that peer victimization was positively associated with later teacher-rated learning problems and self-reported loneliness and negatively associated with later teacher-rated school competence, academic achievement, and perceived self-worth among adolescents who were high on group-orientation or low on self-orientation, but not among those with low group-orientation or high self-orientation. The results suggest that group-orientation may be a vulnerability factor, whereas self-orientation may be a protective factor in the development of adolescents who experience peer victimization.
