The Internet has brought about a paradigm shift in the lives of many people, especially adolescents. While it has opened great possibilities, it has also led to various risks such as cyberbullying and problematic Internet use (PIU). These two constructs have been extensively researched individually and jointly, but the existence of different profiles of problematic use according to the role a person assumes in the context of cyberbullying has not yet been explored. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to analyze the different PIU profiles of those who have been cybervictims, cyberbullies, and cyberbully victims. An analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted on 25,341 adolescents between 10 and 18 years of age (14.60 ± 1.68). The Cyberbullying Triangulation Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Spanish version of the Generalized and Problematic Internet Use Scale-2 (GPIUS2) were used. The results indicate that cybervictims (6.4 percent), cyberbullies (4.3 percent), and cyberbully victims (2.7 percent) have different profiles of PIU ( < 0.001). Two common profiles emerge from the three roles: one of nonproblematic use and the other of severe problematic use. Participants who presented severe problematic use are the ones who obtained higher scores in cybervictimization and cyberaggression, particularly in the case of cyberbully victims. Furthermore, this profile is 7.6 (IC99 percent:6.11-9.44) times more likely to present PIU than noninvolved adolescents. These results are relevant when planning cyberbullying-focused interventions and programs because of the association between cyberbullying and general PIU.
互联网给许多人的生活带来了范式转变，尤其是青少年。虽然它开辟了巨大的可能性，但也导致了各种风险，如网络欺凌和网络成瘾问题（PIU）。这两个结构已经被广泛研究过，但是根据一个人在网络欺凌背景下所扮演的角色，是否存在不同的问题使用模式尚未得到探索。因此，本研究的主要目的是分析网络欺凌受害者、网络欺凌者和网络欺凌受害者的不同 PIU 模式。对 25341 名 10 至 18 岁（14.60±1.68 岁）的青少年进行了分析性和横断面研究。使用了网络欺凌三角关系问卷（CTQ）和西班牙版一般和问题性互联网使用量表-2（GPIUS2）。结果表明，网络欺凌受害者（6.4%）、网络欺凌者（4.3%）和网络欺凌受害者（2.7%）有不同的 PIU 模式（<0.001）。从这三个角色中出现了两种常见的模式：一种是无问题使用模式，另一种是严重问题使用模式。表现出严重问题使用的参与者在网络欺凌和网络攻击方面得分更高，尤其是在网络欺凌受害者中。此外，与未参与的青少年相比，该模式出现 PIU 的可能性高 7.6 倍（IC99%：6.11-9.44）。由于网络欺凌与一般 PIU 之间存在关联，因此在规划以网络欺凌为重点的干预和计划时，这些结果具有重要意义。
