Self and others’ perceptions of victimization, bullying, and academic competence were examined in relation to self-reported anxiety, depression, anger, and global self-worth in a non-clinical sample of second- and third-grade children. Previous studies document links between negative emotions and self-perceptions that are less favorable than others’ perceptions. However, the current study suggests that the impact of discrepant self—other-perceptions (in bullying, victimization, and academic competence) on emotions is complex, sometimes involving interactions between perceptions of self and other informants.

Key Words: self-concept • self—other discrepancy • emotion • academic competence • bullying • victimization
