%X As part of an international study examining student victimization(by both peers and educators) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)symptomatology, 154 Irish university students completed the ¡®Student Alienation and Trauma Scale¨CRevised¡¯. This examined retrospective accounts of negative experiences in school, identified worst school experiences, and assessed whether an individual developed PTSD symptomatology. Items regarding verbal/relational aggression were reported for both the negative experiences and the worst experience. Whilst 3.1% of males and 16.3% of females reported clinically significant PTSD resulting from their worst school experience, a further 3.1% of males and 3.1% of females were in the ¡®at risk¡¯ range.
