Technology is constantly evolving in a vast number of fields. In this way, cyber victimization is associated with psychopathology, and body appearance is a primary target of cyberbullies. Thus, the literature demonstrates a clear association between bullying and unhealthy eating behaviors in adolescents. However, studies that have examined the association between cyber victimization and eating disorder psychopathology are scarce. (1) To analyze whether there are differences in the cyber victimization scores depending on the gender, controlling for age; (2) to analyze whether cyber victimization is negatively associated with eating disorder psychopathology; (3) to analyze whether this association is moderated by the level of Appearance Evaluation. Participants in the present study included 676 adolescents, 367 girls and 309 boys from several cities of Spain. The mean age for the overall sample was 14.28 years ( = 1.65), ranging from 12 to 19. The participants filled out the questionnaires ECIPQ, MBSRQ, and EAT. Cyber victimization was associated with eating disorders psychopathology, Appearance Evaluation, and Overweight Preoccupation. Appearance Evaluation moderated the association between Cyber victimization and the eating disorder psychopathology. It is necessary to assess vulnerability to eating disorders in adolescents who have been victims of cyberbullying.
技术在众多领域不断发展。通过这种方式，网络受害与精神病理学相关，而身体外貌是网络欺凌者的主要目标。因此，文献表明欺凌与青少年不健康的饮食行为之间存在明显关联。然而，研究网络受害与饮食失调精神病理学之间关联的研究却很匮乏。（1）分析在控制年龄的情况下，网络受害得分是否因性别而异；（2）分析网络受害是否与饮食失调精神病理学呈负相关；（3）分析这种关联是否受外貌评价水平的调节。本研究的参与者包括来自西班牙几个城市的676名青少年，其中367名女孩和309名男孩。整个样本的平均年龄为14.28岁（标准差=1.65），年龄范围在12至19岁之间。参与者填写了ECIPQ、MBSRQ和EAT问卷。网络受害与饮食失调精神病理学、外貌评价和超重关注相关。外貌评价调节了网络受害与饮食失调精神病理学之间的关联。有必要评估遭受网络欺凌的青少年患饮食失调症的易感性。
