Cyberbullying has recently attracted attention because of its increasing occurrence and serious consequences for victims. The purpose of the study was to examine the prevalence rates of cyberbullying and the association between cyberbullying and protective/risk factors (cognitive empathy, assertiveness, cooperation, pro-social behaviour, and social support) among Polish adolescents.
Participants (822 students, 448 girls and 374 boys, = 12.97, = 1.02) completed a computer-based online questionnaire.
The majority of respondents did not experience cyberbul-lying in the last six months, while a significant group still experienced cyberbullying regularly (28.1%). Engaging in cyberbullying appeared to be even less common: it was reported by 12.3% of respondents. Family and peer social support appeared to be the strongest protective factor against experiencing cyberbullying while assertiveness was a characteristic that makes a person more likely to engage in cyberbullying.
The results of our study can serve as guidance for preventive interventions against cyberbullying.
网络欺凌因其发生率不断上升以及对受害者造成的严重后果,近来受到了关注。本研究的目的是调查波兰青少年中网络欺凌的发生率,以及网络欺凌与保护/风险因素(认知同理心、自信、合作、亲社会行为和社会支持)之间的关联。
参与者(822名学生,448名女生和374名男生,平均年龄 = 12.97岁,标准差 = 1.02)完成了一份基于计算机的在线问卷。
大多数受访者在过去六个月中没有经历过网络欺凌,而仍有相当一部分人经常遭受网络欺凌(28.1%)。参与网络欺凌的情况似乎更为少见:据12.3%的受访者报告有此类行为。家庭和同伴的社会支持似乎是防止遭受网络欺凌的最强保护因素,而自信是使人更有可能参与网络欺凌的一个特征。
我们的研究结果可为网络欺凌的预防性干预提供指导。
