Figure 1.

Latent growth curve analysis of the contribution of initial victimization (2^nd grade) and trajectories of victimization (2^nd – 5^th grade) to 5^th grade depressive symptoms, overt aggression, and relational aggression, adjusting for 2^nd grade adjustment. Coefficients for boys are on the left of the slash and coefficients for girls are on the right of the slash. Not shown are covariances between 2^nd grade adjustment (i.e., depressive symptoms, overt aggression, and relational aggression) and the intercept and slope of the victimization trajectories (see text). Also not shown is a significant covariance between 3^rd and 4^th grade victimization. ^aSex difference at p < .05. ^bSex difference at p < .10.
