Abstract: A cross lagged panel study was conducted to clarify the possibly reciprocal associations between peer victimization and academic achievement during early adolescence. Participants were 1,989 students (1032 boys) who were followed from Grade 5 (Mage= 11.14 years, SD= 0.36) to Grade 8. Peer victimization was measured by self-reported Multidimensional Peer Victimization Scale (MPVS), and academic achievement was retrieved from the archived school final exam scores. The results indicated that: (1) Relational victimization at grade 5, but not physical victimization, predicted subsequent lower academic achievement at grade 6; (2) Lower academic achievement at grades 6 and 7 significantly contributed to both physical and relational victimization over the one-year follow-up period, while there were no significant differences in the effects of academic achievement on two forms of victimization; (3) No significant gender differences were found in these associations; and (4) The effect of academic achievement on physical victimization was strengthened with age.

Key words: academic achievement, physical victimization, relational victimization, cross-lagged panel analysis
