This appears to be the first published study to compare BVQ reports of being bullied and of bullying others with independent criteria not subject to shared method variance. Self-reported bullying on the BVQ was significantly correlated with peer nominations for bullying (r equals .12, p less than .05) and academic grades (r equals -.15, p less than .05), but not disciplinary infractions. Self-reported victimization was significantly correlated with peer nominations for victimization (r equals .42, p less than .01) and academic grades (r equals -.12, p less than .01). These results provide only modest support for the concurrent validity of the BVQ and raise concern about reliance on student self-report to measure school bullying. 3 tables and 39 references (Published Abstract)
