Relatively little research investigates victimization in higher education, the differences between high school versus university, or the distinct experiences of specific LGBTQ+ groups. The current study aims to address this gap by exploring LGBTQ+ victimization in a university context, comparing university victimization experiences to victimization experiences in high school, and identifying potential patterns among LGBTQ+ subgroups. An online survey was distributed to a small sample of LGBTQ+ college students asking about experiences of verbal harassment, physical harassment, physical assault, sexual harassment, cyberbullying/electronic harassment, property damage, and theft during high school and university. Correlational analyses indicated that gay and lesbian, transgender and nonbinary, and multiple-gender-attracted subjects shared an association between verbal and relational aggression in high school. In university, the connection between verbal and sexual harassment was shared only by the gay and lesbian and multiple-gender-attracted samples. T-tests indicated that verbal harassment, physical harassment, and relational aggression significantly decreased from high school to university, but specific patterns differed for each subsample. Perceptions of improvement in experience, safety, and support varied by identity. These results suggest that there are differences in victimization between high school versus university for LGBTQ+ students and that distinct experiences are associated with specific LGBTQ+ subgroups. The study concludes with recommendations and a discussion about the role of schools in supporting LGBTQ+ students. 2021-05-25 English text Kent State University Honors College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1620499891141961 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1620499891141961 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
