TOMLINSON Department of Psychology and Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, California, USA SANDRA A. BROWN Department of Psychology and Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, California, USA Recent research highlights the role ofpeer victimization in students' adjustment across a variety of domains (e.g., academic, social), but less often identifies potential mediating variables. In the cur- rent study, we tested for direct effects from peer victimization to adolescents' academic behavior and alcohol use, as well as indi- rect effects through school belonging. Adolescents from two large samples (middle school N = 2,808; high school: N = 6,821) self-re- ported on peer victimization, school belonging, academic outcomes (GPA, school truancy), and alcohol use (lifetime, past 30 days). Two-group structural equation models revealed (a) direct and indirect paths from peer victimization to academicfunctioning; (b) indirect, but not direct, effects through school belonging for lifetime Received October 7, 2013; accepted May 7, 2014.
