We examined the relationship between exposure to electronic bullying and absenteeism as a result of being afraid.
This multivariate, multinomial regression analysis of the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey data assessed the association between experiencing electronic bullying in the past year and how often students were absent in the last month due to feeling unsafe at/in transit to school. The model controlled for other predictors of school absence including demographics, physical/behavioral health, and risk factors. Missing data were multiply imputed.
Electronic bullying was significantly associated with absences. Controlling for model covariates, the relative risk of missing 1 day of school was 1.77 times higher, the relative risk of missing 2 to 3 days of school per month increased by a factor of 2.08, and the relative risk of missing 4 or more days of school per month increased by a factor of 1.77 for those who experienced electronic bullying in the past year compared with those who were not electronically bullied.
Electronic bullying's association with absenteeism places it among already recognized negative influences such as depression and binge drinking, necessitating schools to implement policies to mediate the resulting harmful effects.
我们研究了因恐惧遭受电子欺凌与旷课之间的关系。
这项对2013年青少年风险行为调查数据进行的多变量、多项回归分析，评估了过去一年经历电子欺凌与学生上个月因在学校或上学途中感到不安全而旷课频率之间的关联。该模型控制了其他旷课预测因素，包括人口统计学特征、身体/行为健康和风险因素。对缺失数据进行了多重填补。
电子欺凌与旷课显著相关。在控制模型协变量的情况下，与未遭受电子欺凌的人相比，过去一年遭受电子欺凌的人缺课1天的相对风险高1.77倍，每月缺课2至3天的相对风险增加2.08倍，每月缺课4天或更多天的相对风险增加1.77倍。
电子欺凌与旷课的关联使其跻身于已被认可的如抑郁和酗酒等负面影响之中，这就要求学校实施政策来调节由此产生的有害影响。
