Although cyberbullying and cybervictimization prevention programs have proved effective in the short term, their effectiveness remains unclear in the long run. Thus, the present study evaluated the long-term effects of the Tabby Improved Prevention and Intervention Program (TIPIP). Participants were 475 middle and high school students (Mage = 12.38; SD = 1.45; F = 241, 51%), of whom, 167 were in the Experimental Group (EG; Mage = 13.15; SD = 1.52; M = 51.5%), and 308 were in the Control Group (CG; Mage = 13.47; SD = 1.35; M = 47.7%). Students completed measures assessing cyberbullying and cybervictimization at three time points: baseline (T1), immediately after the intervention (6 months, T2), and at 1 year (T3). The results showed no significant effects of the TIPIP in reducing both cyberbullying and cybervictimization over time. Overall, our results confirm the lack of effectiveness of long-term preventive programs and emphasize that different curricula should be implemented in future programs to prevent and manage cyberbullying and cybervictimization, also taking into account psychological mechanisms and processes involved in such behaviors.
虽然网络欺凌和网络受害预防计划在短期内已被证明是有效的,但它们在长期内的效果仍不清楚。因此,本研究评估了 Tabby 改进预防和干预计划(TIPIP)的长期效果。参与者为 475 名中小学生(Mage = 12.38;SD = 1.45;F = 241,51%),其中 167 人在实验组(EG;Mage = 13.15;SD = 1.52;M = 51.5%),308 人在对照组(CG;Mage = 13.47;SD = 1.35;M = 47.7%)。学生在三个时间点完成了评估网络欺凌和网络受害的测量:基线(T1)、干预后立即(6 个月,T2)和 1 年(T3)。结果显示,TIPIP 并没有随着时间的推移减少网络欺凌和网络受害的显著效果。总体而言,我们的结果证实了长期预防计划缺乏有效性,并强调未来的计划应实施不同的课程,以预防和管理网络欺凌和网络受害,同时考虑到此类行为所涉及的心理机制和过程。
