The study found that non-Bedouin Arab students reported slightly more verbal-social victimization than did Bedouin students. Bedouin students reported significantly higher levels of moderate physical victimization and severe physical victimization. The statistical interaction between gender, grade level, and national/cultural group, as well as reported victimization was also examined. The study indicated that its findings could be generalized to all students of these categories in Israel. It was suggested that intervention programs be sensitive to the cultural context, and that treatment for the special needs of Bedouin youth should be found. Differences found between the communities should be acknowledged, and the Arab culture not perceived as one homogenous group. The results of the study are part of a comprehensive study conducted among a nationally representative sample of students in Israel from 2003. The study used self-report questionnaires to examine the issue of peer victimization among Arab students. The data was from a sample consisting of 10,441 students from 192 schools: 6,329 non-Bedouin Arab students from 114 schools and 4,112 Bedouin students from 78 schools. Tables, figures, references
