Research on bullying and victimization largely rests univariate analyses reports from a single informant. Researchers may thus know too little about the simultaneous effects of various independent dependent variables, their research be biased by shared method variance. The database for this Dutch study was large (N = 1,065) rich enough to allow multivariate analysis multi-source information. In addition, effect familial vulnerability internalizing externalizing disorders studied. Gender,...
