Social media can lead to rejection, cyber-bullying victimisation, and cyber-aggression, and these experiences are not fully understood as experienced by autistic adults. To investigate this, 78 autistic adults completed self-report measures of social media use, cyber-bullying victimisation, cyber-aggression, and self-esteem. High levels of social media use were found to be associated with an increased risk of cyber-victimisation; whereas self-esteem was positively correlated with feelings of belonging to an online community and negatively correlated with feelings of being ignored on social network sites and chat rooms. Future studies are needed to further investigate the experience of cyber-bullying victimisation of autistic adults.
社交媒体可能会导致自闭症患者被排斥、遭受网络欺凌和网络攻击,而这些经历并没有被充分理解。为了研究这一问题,78 名自闭症成年人完成了社交媒体使用、网络欺凌、网络攻击和自尊的自我报告测量。研究发现,社交媒体的高使用率与网络欺凌风险的增加有关;而自尊与归属感呈正相关,与在社交网站和聊天室被忽视的感觉呈负相关。需要进一步的研究来调查自闭症成年人遭受网络欺凌的经历。
