Little　attention　has　been　given　to　whether　country　of　origin　as　well　as　perceptions　of　severity　impact　adolescents＇　attributions　for　public　and　private　face-to-face　and　cyber　victimization.　The　objective　of　the　present　study　was　to　examine　the　role　of　medium　(face-to-face,　cyber),　setting　(public,　private),　and　perceptions　of　severity　in　adolescents＇　attributions　for　victimization,　while　accounting　for　gender　and　cultural　values.　Participants　included　3,432　adolescents　(ages　11-15;　49%　girls)　from　China,　Cyprus,　the　Czech　Republic,　India,　Japan,　and　the　United　States.　Adolescents　completed　a　questionnaire　on　their　cultural　values　and　read　four　hypothetical　peer　victimization　scenarios,　including　public　face-to-face　victimization,　private　face-to-face　victimization,　public　cyber　victimization,　and　private　cyber　victimization.　They　rated　the　severity　of　each　scenario　and　how　likely　they　would　use　various　attributions　to　explain　the　victimization　scenarios,　including　self-blame,　aggressor-blame,　joking,　normative,　and　conflict　attributions.　The　findings　revealed　that　attributions　varied　based　on　severity,　and　that　this　relationship　was　moderated　by　setting　and　medium　of　victimization,　as　well　as　varied　by　country　of　origin.　Taken　together,　the　results　from　this　study　indicate　complex　differences　in　attributions　based　on　setting,　medium,　perceptions　of　severity,　and　country　of　origin.
