| Abstract: |
Guided by the DisCrit theory and social-ecological theory this study examined the influences of disability and race on students’ peer victimization experiences in a nationally representative sample of elementary school students. Participants included 11,136 students from 970 elementary schools. Results suggested that, after controlling for school type (public or private) and students’ gender, SES, Hispanic/Latinx and Asian students reported lower levels of peer victimization than White students, whereas Black students reported higher levels of victimization than their White peers. Students attending schools with greater racial/ethnic diversity reported higher levels of peer victimization. Students with disabilities reported higher levels of peer victimization than students without disabilities. The hypothesized interactions between race and disability were not supported. Implications are discussed.
