The Moderating Effect of Parent and Peer Relationships between Violence Victimization and Depression: Testing Two Contrasting Hypotheses across Gender

This study examines whether the moderating effect of relations with parents and peers between violence victimization and depression is different across male and female student. This study tests two contrasting buffering or promoting effects of relationships with parents and peers across gender. That is, this study tests whether the effect of violence victimization on depression may be buffered or promoted by high relationships with parents and peers and there are gender differences. Using Korea Child and Youth Panel Study Data, it is found that effect of violence victimization on depression is larger on female than on male. In addition, results show that there are gender differences in moderating effects of relationships with parents and peers between victimization and depression. It is revealed that for male, the interaction effect of victimization and parent-relationship on depression is significantly positive, while for female, the interaction effect of victimization and peer-relationship on depression is significantly negative. Those results show that when they are victimized from bullying, high parent-relationship is promoting depression in male and, while high peer-relationship is buffering depression in female. The policy implication of those results is discussed.
