This retrospective study investigated the association between bullying victimization experiences at school, current post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and post-traumatic growth (PTG) among Greek university students. A sample of 400 university students aged 17 to 40 years ( = 20.33, = 3.18) completed self-reported scales measuring school bullying victimization experiences, post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and post-traumatic growth. Results showed that victims of school bullying reported mild levels of PTSD and moderate feelings of post-traumatic growth. Females presented higher scores of post-traumatic growth. Duration and frequency of victimization of school bullying were found to present a significant effect on PTSD symptoms and PTG, respectively. Post-traumatic growth as a result of school-bullying victimization was related to PTSD symptom severity and this relationship was curvilinear. The findings have implications in terms of informing prospective interventions targeting the enhancement of students' sense of growth for handling peer aggression effectively.
这项回顾性研究调查了希腊大学生在学校受欺凌经历、当前创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状与创伤后成长（PTG）之间的关联。400名年龄在17至40岁之间的大学生样本（平均年龄=20.33岁，标准差=3.18）完成了自我报告量表，测量学校欺凌受害经历、创伤后应激障碍症状和创伤后成长。结果显示，学校欺凌受害者报告的创伤后应激障碍程度较轻，创伤后成长感受中等。女性的创伤后成长得分更高。发现学校欺凌受害的持续时间和频率分别对创伤后应激障碍症状和创伤后成长有显著影响。因学校欺凌受害导致的创伤后成长与创伤后应激障碍症状严重程度相关，且这种关系是曲线关系。这些发现对于为旨在增强学生成长意识以有效应对同伴攻击的前瞻性干预措施提供信息具有启示意义。
