Abstract The current study aimed to investigate the effects of peer victimization on adolescents’ depression and happiness, as well as the mediating role of dispositional optimism and age group differences, using the dual-factor model of mental health and the theory of positive psychology. A total of 1693 adolescents from Shandong and Gansu provinces were recruited. Peer victimization, depression, happiness and dispositional optimism of adolescents were measured by self-report questionnaires. The results found: (1) Peer victimization was a significant predictor of depression and happiness in the whole sample, with the effect on depression was stronger than happiness in the whole sample. (2) Peer victimization indirectly predicted adolescents’ depression and happiness via dispositional optimism, both in the whole sample and the younger/older age groups. (3) Further multi-group comparisons revealed that the predictive effect of dispositional optimism on depression was significantly stronger in the older age group than in the younger age group, and the mediating effect of dispositional optimism between peer victimization and depression was significantly stronger in the older age group as well.
