Friendship as a Moderating Factor in the Pathway between Early Harsh Home Environment and Later Victimization in the Peer Group.

Schwartz, David; Dodge, Kenneth A.; Pettit, Gregory S.; Bates, John E.

Developmental Psychology, v36 n5 p646-62 Sep 2000

Two studies examined the moderating role of dyadic friendship in the developmental pathway to peer victimization. Both studies found that early harsh, punitive, and hostile family environments predicted later victimization by peers for children who had a low number of friendships. Predictive associations did not hold for children with numerous friendships. (Author/KB)
