Notes:	This US study asked 112 children aged between 6 and 13 to report on bullying and victimization they had experienced in the past year. Parents were asked to comment on their children’s internalising and externalising behaviours during previous 6 months using Auchenbach’s Child Behaviour Checklist. The frequency of intimate partner violence (IPV) was also measured at 2 points during the previous 5 years using the Conflict Tactics Scale. Intimate partner violence was reported for at least one of the two points in 50.5% of the households. One third of children reported bullying behaviour (indirectly) and the prevalence of victimisation was 73.2%. Children who were exposed to intimate partner violence displayed a higher rate of aggressive and internalising behaviours than those whose parents had no history of violence. Girls were more likely than boys to report bullying others and engaged more frequently in relational aggressive acts. Exposed children were also more likely to display problems with attention. Instruments that are use to capture bullying should separate relational and physical acts of bullying because of gender trends. Children who are exposed to violence have a higher rate of physical violence but not relational violence.
