The importance of social networking and the online environment as core factors in building relationships has grown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited in-person activities. As classes transitioned to online platforms, there was an influx of elementary school students into the cyberspace, increasing the risk of exposure to cyberbullying. This study analyzed the factors influencing the experience of cyberbullying among Korean elementary school students around 2020, when the spread of COVID-19 began in earnest, and thus suggests directions for cyberbullying prevention measures for the post-COVID-19 era. This comparative study used binary logistic regression to analyze data from the "Cyber Violence Survey" conducted by the Korea Communications Commission in 2019 and 2020. The analysis confirmed that interactions between parents and children, cyberbullying control by schools, and recognition of cyberbullying as a problem had statistically significant influences on cyberbullying experience only in 2020 (i.e., when the pandemic began). Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about cyberbullying among elementary school students and taking preventive action through a home-school system to address cyberbullying in the post-COVID-19 era.
由于 COVID-19 疫情限制了面对面活动，社交网络和在线环境作为建立人际关系的核心因素的重要性日益增加。随着课程过渡到在线平台，大量小学生涌入网络空间，增加了遭受网络欺凌的风险。本研究分析了 2020 年 COVID-19 疫情开始蔓延时影响韩国小学生遭受网络欺凌经历的因素，并为后 COVID-19 时代的网络欺凌预防措施提出了方向。本比较研究使用二元逻辑回归分析了 2019 年和 2020 年韩国通信委员会进行的“网络暴力调查”的数据。分析结果证实，仅在 2020 年（即疫情开始时），父母与子女的互动、学校对网络欺凌的控制以及将网络欺凌视为问题的认知对网络欺凌经历具有统计学上的显著影响。总的来说，本研究强调了在后 COVID-19 时代提高小学生对网络欺凌的认识并通过家校系统采取预防措施来解决网络欺凌问题的重要性。
