Adolescents are among the most frequent users of social media websites, raising concern about the dangers of cyber bullying or cybervictimization (CV). A 12-month longitudinal study examined the unique, prospective relation of CV to the development of negative self-cognitions and depressive symptoms in a community sample of 827 children and young adolescents (ages 8-13; 55.1 % female) from the southeastern United States. Over and above conventional types of peer victimization, CV significantly predicted changes in self-referential negative cognitions, victimization-related cognitive reactions, and depressive symptoms, even after controlling for baseline levels of the dependent variables. Results also showed that CV was significantly less stable than other forms of victimization and tended to increase slightly with time. The study highlights the unique effects of CV and has implications for research and practice.
青少年是社交媒体网站的最频繁使用者之一，这引发了对网络欺凌或网络受害（CV）危险的担忧。一项为期12个月的纵向研究，在美国东南部一个由827名儿童和青少年（8 - 13岁；55.1%为女性）组成的社区样本中，考察了CV与消极自我认知及抑郁症状发展之间独特的前瞻性关系。除了传统类型的同伴受害情况外，即使在控制了因变量的基线水平之后，CV仍能显著预测自我参照消极认知、与受害相关认知反应及抑郁症状的变化。结果还表明，CV比其他形式的受害情况稳定性显著更低，且有随时间略有增加的趋势。该研究突出了CV的独特影响，并对研究和实践具有启示意义。
