Although abundant evidence has confirmed cyberbullying as a global online risk, little is known about the coping strategies employed by victims and those who experiencing bullying. A validated scale for coping with cyberbullying could inform evidence-based social services and enable comparative studies of this phenomenon among victims from different backgrounds. This study aims to validate the Coping Strategies for Victims of Cyberbullying (CSVC) scale among Chinese adolescents and to compare its effectiveness between victims and bully-victims (individuals with dual roles).
A 25-item CSVC scale was translated and adapted for cultural relevance in the Chinese context. A sample of 1,716 adolescents, aged 13-18 years, from two middle schools and one high school in China, was recruited. Both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted.
The EFA revealed that the Chinese version of the CSVC scale had satisfactory validity. The CFA demonstrated a good fit for the eight-factor model in assessing different coping strategies for cyberbullying. Differences in the selection of coping strategies were observed between the general adolescent population and sexual and gender minorities.
Future intervention studies may use this validated scale to educate adolescents, both those affected by cyberbullying and those who are not, to learn a broader range of coping strategies and to choose more effective ones.
虽然大量证据证实网络欺凌是一种全球性的网络风险，但对于受害者和经历欺凌者所采用的应对策略却知之甚少。一个经过验证的应对网络欺凌的量表可以为基于证据的社会服务提供信息，并能够对来自不同背景的受害者进行这一现象的比较研究。本研究旨在验证针对网络欺凌受害者的应对策略量表（CSVC）在中国青少年中的有效性，并比较受害者和欺凌-受欺凌者（具有双重角色的个体）之间的有效性。
对 25 项 CSVC 量表进行了翻译和改编，以适应中国文化背景下的相关性。在中国的两所中学和一所高中招募了 1716 名 13-18 岁的青少年进行研究。同时进行了探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析（CFA）。
EFA 表明，中文版 CSVC 量表具有良好的有效性。CFA 表明，在评估不同的网络欺凌应对策略时，八因素模型具有良好的拟合度。在应对策略的选择上，一般青少年群体和性少数群体与性别少数群体存在差异。
未来的干预研究可以使用这个经过验证的量表来教育青少年，包括那些受到网络欺凌影响的青少年和那些没有受到影响的青少年，让他们学习更广泛的应对策略，并选择更有效的策略。
