This pilot study obtained preliminary data on the effectiveness of an online, self-guided cognitive behavioral therapy-based psychoeducational program for coping with a potential experience of cyberbullying. The aim of the increasing resilience to cyberbullying (IRCB) program was to increase adolescents' likelihood of employing coping skills that may be helpful for a victim of cyberbullying, and to increase confidence in their ability to cope and/or help a friend cope with an experience of cyberbullying. Online questionnaires were administered to participants at baseline (preprogram, = 54) and after program completion (postprogram, = 54). Participants were year 9 or 10 students from Australian secondary schools ( = 14.70 years, = 0.57; 89% male). Results indicated significant increases in adolescents' likelihood of using the coping skills of self-compassion and challenging unhelpful thinking to cope with an experience of cyberbullying. There was also a significant increase in adolescents' help-seeking attitudes and behavioral intentions to engage with counseling services in the event of being victim of cyberbullying. There was no evidence to suggest that the IRCB program significantly increased adolescents' confidence in their ability to cope and/or help a friend cope with an experience of cyberbullying. The majority (87%) of participants ( = 34) described the IRCB program as helping them. Results suggest that an online intervention has the potential to provide adolescents with a free and easily accessible intervention that helps ameliorate the effect of cyberbullying, by promoting effective coping skills.
本初步研究获得了有关在线、自我指导的基于认知行为疗法的心理教育方案对潜在网络欺凌体验的应对效果的初步数据。“增强对网络欺凌的适应力（IRCB）”方案的目的是提高青少年采用可能对网络欺凌受害者有帮助的应对技能的可能性，并增强他们应对和/或帮助朋友应对网络欺凌体验的能力的信心。在基线（预方案，n=54）和方案完成后（后方案，n=54），向参与者在线发放问卷。参与者为澳大利亚中学的 9 年级或 10 年级学生（年龄=14.70 岁，SD=0.57；89%为男性）。结果表明，青少年更有可能使用自我同情和挑战无益思维等应对技能来应对网络欺凌体验，这一可能性显著增加。青少年寻求帮助的态度和在遭受网络欺凌时寻求咨询服务的行为意向也显著增加。没有证据表明 IRCB 方案显著提高了青少年对自己应对和/或帮助朋友应对网络欺凌体验的能力的信心。大多数（87%）参与者（n=34）表示 IRCB 方案对他们有帮助。结果表明，在线干预有可能为青少年提供一种免费且易于获取的干预措施，通过促进有效的应对技能来减轻网络欺凌的影响。
