Longitudinal study shows peer victimization increases anxious affect in adolescents, highlighting social threat sensitivity as a mediating factor.

Key Points

  • Multilevel analyses from 195 adolescents reveal peer victimization correlates with increased anxious feelings over time.
  • The study tracked daily reports of victimization and anxiety for 14 days using intensive assessments.
  • Findings indicate that social threat sensitivity mediates the same-day relationship between peer victimization and anxiety, underscoring its importance.
