Yet the early emergence, over\u2010time stability, and risk and protective factors for being BVs are largely unknown.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analyzed data from 7,326 children in third through fifth grade participating in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010\u20132011 (ECLS\u2010K: 2011), a nationally representative and multiyear longitudinal cohort. We first descriptively identified children exhibiting high levels of both bullying perpetration and victimization. We examined BV prevalence and over\u2010time stability. We then used survey\u2010weighted logistic regression models to identify risk and protective factors for BV, including repeatedly across time in analyses adjusting for prior perpetration and victimization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between 9% and 20% of children were BVs across 3rd\u20135th grade. About 40% of BVs in one grade were BVs in the next grade. BVs concurrently displayed elevated socioemotional problems, executive dysfunction, strained student\u2013teacher relationships, and lower academic achievement. Supplemental latent transition analyses further supported BV stability across elementary school. Risk factors for BV status included being Black, male, and from less\u2010resourced families. Children experiencing externalizing problems (aORs\u2009=\u20091.28\u20131.41) were more likely to be BVs in adjusted analyses. Children with greater self\u2010control were less likely (aORs = 0.80\u20130.83). Greater externalizing problems (aOR\u2009=\u20091.57) and self\u2010control (aOR\u2009=\u20090.65) were also associated with repeated BV status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Some children are both bullies and victims, including repeatedly across elementary school.
