| Summary: | Peer-victimization has been found to be a universal phenomenon among children, which can lead to very grave consequences in the emerging adult, This study examined the influence of gender, age, religion and ethnicity on peer-victimization of 240 (131 boys and 109 girls) purposively selected primary 4 pupils in Ibadan metropolis, There was no gender difference in overall peer-victimization of primary school pupils, The Same patternwas observed in age, religion and ethnicity dimensions.
