Based on a survey of 9512 ninth-grade students conducted in Lower Saxony in 2013, this paper examines the prevalence of cyberbullying perpetration and the correlates of this behavior. Binary logistic multilevel regression was used in order to analyze correlates of sexual and psychological cyberbully perpetration. In the preceding semester, 2.4% of the adolescents were perpetrators of psychological cyberbullying and 0.4% bullied someone online sexually. Low levels of empathy, frequent consumption of violent media, and being victims of aggressive online behaviors are correlated with the risk that a child will become a bully. Female adolescents are less likely than boys to engage in sexual cyberbullying perpetration, but they are more likely to engage in psychological cyberbullying perpetration. Only a small share of adolescents engage in sexual and psychological cyberbullying perpetration. Both behaviors differ in their correlates, however being a victim of aggressive online behaviors increase the risk for perpetration of both behaviors, respectively.
基于 2013 年在下萨克森州对 9512 名九年级学生进行的一项调查,本文探讨了网络欺凌行为的普遍程度及其相关因素。采用二元逻辑多层回归分析了性和心理网络欺凌行为的相关因素。在前一个学期,有 2.4%的青少年是心理网络欺凌的实施者,有 0.4%的青少年在网上进行性欺凌。同理心水平低、频繁接触暴力媒体以及成为攻击性在线行为的受害者,与儿童成为欺凌者的风险相关。女青少年参与性网络欺凌行为的可能性低于男青少年,但她们更有可能参与心理网络欺凌行为。只有一小部分青少年参与性和心理网络欺凌行为。然而,这两种行为的相关因素不同,受到攻击性在线行为的侵害会增加实施这两种行为的风险。
