Examined relations between characterological versus behavioral self-blaming attributions for victimization and maladjustment in middle school students. Found that self-perceived victimization was associated with characterological self-blame, loneliness, anxiety, and low self-worth. Peer-perceived victimization was related to peer acceptance and rejection. Findings suggested that self-views predicted intrapersonal consequences of victimization, whereas peer views predicted interpersonal consequences. (Author)
