Peer Victimization in British Columbia Youth
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Peer victimization is an issue which has recently received considerable attention from the media, the school system, and academic literature.The present study examines a number of expected correlates, both risk factors and outcomes, of peer victimization through the use of the Adolescent Health Survey -II conducted by the McCreary Centre Society in the province of British Columbia.Approximately 25,800 youth, from grades 7 through 12, from various regions of the province completed the questionnaire.Potential risk factors, including gender, grade, age, age relative to classmates, appearing younger or older than classmates, ethnicity, family socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, disability, body weight, family relationships, peer relationships, teacher relationships and having moved recently, and outcome factors, including depression, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, anxietylstress, physical health, drug use, body image, eating disorders, academic achievement and aspirations, school enjoyment and attendance, and school connectedness, were evaluated.Possible moderators between peer victimization and risk factors and between peer victimization and outcome factors were considered.Results indicated that most of the proposed risk factors were indeed associated with peer victimization.However, the effect sizes of these relationships were marginal.When gender and grade were considered as moderators between each of the risk factors and peer victimization they were found not to add predictive power.In regards to outcome factors, results again indicated that most factors were associated with peer victimization.Effect sizes were marginal.When gender, grade, family connectedness, teacher relationships, peer relationships, school connectedness, and academic achievement were considered as moderators between each of the outcome factors and peer victimization they were found not to add any predictive power.Findings of the present study expand on past literature by considering novel factors as well as considering effect sizes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
