The incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Traumatized adolescents might cope with maladaptive strategies such as increased Internet usage, which might be a risk for cyber victimization. We investigated the relationship between self-reported PTSD and cyber victimization and the mediator role of school belongingness in this relationship. The sample consisted of 292 adolescents ages 11-14 years old (M = 12.53, SD = 0.71; nfemale = 165, 56.1%; nmale = 129, 43.9%). Results show that males are more likely to be cyber victims and have lower levels of school belongingness than females. In addition, results supported the association between higher levels of PTSD and higher levels of cyber victimization. Traumatized adolescents with high levels of school belongingness are less likely to be cyber victims. These findings highlight the importance of school-related personal and relational characteristics in promoting adolescent mental health.
在新冠疫情期间,创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的发病率有所上升。受过创伤的青少年可能会采取一些适应不良的策略,比如增加上网时间,这可能会带来网络受害的风险。我们研究了自我报告的创伤后应激障碍与网络受害之间的关系,以及学校归属感在这种关系中的中介作用。样本包括292名11至14岁的青少年(M = 12.53,SD = 0.71;女性n = 165,占56.1%;男性n = 129,占43.9%)。结果显示,男性比女性更有可能成为网络受害者,且学校归属感水平更低。此外,结果支持了较高水平的创伤后应激障碍与较高水平的网络受害之间的关联。学校归属感水平高的受创伤青少年成为网络受害者的可能性较小。这些发现凸显了与学校相关的个人和关系特征在促进青少年心理健康方面的重要性。
