The advent of new technologies and social media offers a host of possibilities for teenagers to consolidate social networks. Unfortunately, new technologies also represent a potential setting for experiences of victimization.
The present study explores the prevalence of cyberbullying victimization in a representative sample of 8 194 teenagers in Quebec and the adverse associated consequences.
Results indicate that 18% of boys and close to 1 out of 4 girls report at least one incident of cyberbullying in the past 12 months. Cyberbullying victimization contributes to the prediction of low selfesteem and psychological distress over and above other experiences of bullying in schools or other settings.
Cyberbullying appear as one important target for the design of prevention and intervention services designed for youth.
新技术和社交媒体的出现为青少年巩固社交网络提供了诸多可能性。不幸的是,新技术也可能成为遭受侵害经历的潜在环境。
本研究探讨了魁北克省8194名青少年代表性样本中的网络欺凌受害率及其相关不良后果。
结果表明,在过去12个月中,18%的男孩和近四分之一的女孩报告至少经历过一次网络欺凌事件。网络欺凌受害经历除了会导致在学校或其他环境中遭受的其他欺凌经历外,还会增加自尊心低落和心理困扰的可能性。
网络欺凌似乎是为青少年设计预防和干预服务的一个重要目标。
