Perception of Control on the Effect of Peer Victimization

It was found that the individual’s perception of control over past events of peer victimization is linked to having less long-term aversive effects. The more control the individual believes they had over the experience of being bullied, the less likely they would be affected by being bullied in the long term. This is because individuals who believed that they had no control over the bullying situation feel more helplessness than the individuals who do. Learned helplessness is one of the causes of depression which is one of the long-term aversive effects of being bullied.
