This study investigated the frequency and psychosocial correlates of peer victimization in a sample of youths with diabetes. The Social Experience Questionnaire, Children's Depression Inventory, Social Anxiety Scale for Children-Revised, and Asher Loneliness Scale were administered to 32 children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and 32 control children without a medical diagnosis who were matched for age and gender. Results indicated that children with diabetes reported higher rates of relational victimization and lower levels of prosocial peer support than youths without diabetes. In addition, relational victimization was positively associated with depression, social anxiety, and loneliness for diabetic children. Implications of these findings for clinicians working with this population are discussed.

This study compared the psychological adjustment between children with short stature and youth with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). The Child Behavior Checklist, Children's Depression Inventory, Social Anxiety Scale for Children--Revised, and Asher Loneliness Scale were administered to 58 children (26 with short stature and 32 with DM1) and a parent during a regularly scheduled clinical appointment for endocrinology care. Results show that the parents of children with short stature rated their children as having more social, thought, and attention problems, and exhibiting greater delinquent behavior, as compared to parental ratings of children with DM1. No diagnostic group differences in child or parent-rated internalizing symptoms were found. Implications of these findings for personnel working with children with short stature are discussed.
