Abstract

The aim of this research was to study the trait of interpersonal victim-hood across three age-groups.  Interpersonal victim-hood was measured using tendency for interpersonal victim-hood (TIV) scale. Kruskal-Wallis test indicated a significant difference across the three age-groups on TIV (H = 18.1, p <0.001). Pair-wise comparisons indicated that middle aged- adults differed significantly from both adolescents and young adults. The difference between young adults and adolescents however was found to be non-significant. The study highlights the implications of the increase in the levels of this trait.
