The aim of the present study is to explore how youth with intellectual disability or Asperger syndrome use new technologies and social media in comparison with their peers without disability.
Participants were 181 adolescents with a mean age of 16 years old (SD=3.7) who completed the "Cyber-aggression Questionnaire for Adolescents", the "Cyber-victimization Questionnaire for Adolescents" and a questionnaire on social media and new technologies.
Percentages of use of new technologies (61% tablets, 93% computers, 97% mobiles) are similar among groups but adolescents with Asperger syndrome or intellectual disability have been using them since more recent times and their uses are more limited. They also use social media less; the group with Asperger syndrome uses them the least. There are no significant differences in the frequency of cyberbullying.
Despite using social media less, the frequency of cyberbullying is similar to their peers. Besides, the observed prevalence of cyberbullying is higher than that mentioned in previous studies in which informants were not the youths themselves.
本研究旨在探讨与无残疾同龄人相比，智力残疾或阿斯伯格综合征的青年如何使用新技术和社交媒体。
参与者为 181 名平均年龄为 16 岁（SD=3.7）的青少年，他们完成了“青少年网络欺凌问卷”、“青少年网络受害问卷”以及一份关于社交媒体和新技术的问卷。
新技术（平板电脑 61%、计算机 93%、手机 97%）的使用率在各组之间相似，但患有阿斯伯格综合征或智力残疾的青少年使用新技术的时间较晚，且使用范围更有限。他们使用社交媒体的频率也较低；患有阿斯伯格综合征的群体使用社交媒体的频率最低。网络欺凌的频率没有显著差异。
尽管使用社交媒体的频率较低，但网络欺凌的频率与同龄人相似。此外，观察到的网络欺凌发生率高于之前研究中提到的那些不是由青少年自己提供的信息。
