Abstract

Peer victimization includes being bullied and experiences of being the target of physical, social, emotional, or psychological harm from a peer. Personal growth initiative is an individual’s will to change, develop and evolve as a person. Perceived social support refers to how an individual perceives the support or the encouragement that he gets from his/her society, friends and others. Thus, the purpose of this research was to study the relationship between Peer victimization, Personal growth initiative (PGI) and Perceived social support among adolescents. The population for this study consisted of 100 participants, males and females both between the age range of 13-19 years. The statistical analysis used was Pearson’s product moment correlation. The findings revealed significant negative relationship between Peer Victimization and Personal Growth Initiative (r= -0.31, p< 0.01) and a significant positive relationship between Personal Growth Initiative and Perceived Social Support (r= 0.50, p< 0.01).However, no significant relationship was found between Peer Victimization and Perceived Social Support. (r= -0.18, n.s).
