The first objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Cyberbullying Questionnaire (CBQ), an instrument for measuring the perpetration and victimization of bullying via new technologies for adolescents. The second objective was to analyze gender differences in the prevalence of cyberbullying. The study sample consisted of 1,491 Mexican adolescents (52.4% male and 47.6% female) with a mean age of 14.51 years (SD = 1.57, range = 12-18). A confirmatory factor analysis of the CBQ indicated a good fit of a model consisting of two factors designated as "perpetration" and "victimization." The internal consistencies for these subscales were adequate. Furthermore, multiple-group-covariance-structure analysis with the Mexican and a Spanish sample (N = 1008; 55.7% girls; mean age = 15.23 years, SD = 1.4) indicated equivalence of the factor structure of the CBQ across samples. An analysis of the relationship between the CBQ and other variables-such as the justification of cyberbullying, impulsivity, and depression-provided additional data supporting the construct validity of the instrument. Regarding gender differences in the prevalence of CB, perpetration was significantly higher for males than for females, whereas no differences were found for victimization. Finally, we discuss the contributions of this work to the field of study.
本研究的首要目标是分析网络欺凌问卷（CBQ）的心理测量特性，该问卷是一种用于测量青少年通过新技术实施欺凌行为和遭受欺凌情况的工具。第二个目标是分析网络欺凌发生率的性别差异。研究样本包括1491名墨西哥青少年（男性占52.4%，女性占47.6%），平均年龄为14.51岁（标准差=1.57，年龄范围=12 - 18岁）。对CBQ进行的验证性因素分析表明，由“实施”和“受害”两个因素组成的模型拟合良好。这些子量表的内部一致性良好。此外，对墨西哥样本和西班牙样本（N = 1008；女孩占55.7%；平均年龄 = 15.23岁，标准差 = 1.4）进行的多组协方差结构分析表明，CBQ的因素结构在不同样本间具有等效性。对CBQ与其他变量（如网络欺凌的正当理由、冲动性和抑郁）之间关系的分析提供了额外数据，支持了该工具的结构效度。关于网络欺凌发生率的性别差异，男性的实施率显著高于女性，而在受害率方面未发现差异。最后，我们讨论了这项工作对研究领域的贡献。
