With regard to negative consequences, cyberbullying is recognized as one of the most traumatic types of cyber aggression. The aim is to study the specific features of adolescents and youth's cyberbullying experience in the role of an aggressor, victim or bystander, as well as awareness on the part of parents of adolescents. A total of 3395 adolescents, youth and parents filled out specially designed questionnaires. Older adolescents turned out to be at higher risk of cyberbullying. In two-thirds of cases, cyberbullying is related to real-life incidents. Aggressors are motivated by domination and entertainment, primarily employing strategies of social exclusion, harassment and denigration. As victims of cyberbullying, younger adolescents turn to their parents and friends for social support, whereas older adolescents and young adults are more likely turn to their peers. In the role of a bystander, almost half of younger adolescents and about a third of older adolescents and young adults choose the prosocial strategy of protecting a victim. The parents often underestimate the experience of encountering cyberbullying or find it difficult to assess such experience. The identified risk groups and strategies and the lack of parents' awareness are important to take into account when drawing up cyberbullying prevention programs.
关于负面后果，网络欺凌被认为是最具创伤性的网络攻击类型之一。本研究旨在探讨青少年和青年在欺凌者、受害者或旁观者角色中的网络欺凌体验的具体特征，以及青少年父母的意识。共有 3395 名青少年、青年和父母填写了专门设计的问卷。年龄较大的青少年面临更高的网络欺凌风险。在三分之二的情况下，网络欺凌与现实生活中的事件有关。欺凌者的动机是支配和娱乐，主要采用社会排斥、骚扰和诋毁的策略。作为网络欺凌的受害者，年幼的青少年向父母和朋友寻求社会支持，而年龄较大的青少年和年轻人更倾向于向同龄人寻求支持。作为旁观者，近一半的年幼青少年和约三分之一的年龄较大的青少年和年轻人选择了保护受害者的亲社会策略。父母往往低估了遭遇网络欺凌的经历，或者发现很难评估这种经历。在制定网络欺凌预防计划时，确定的风险群体和策略以及父母意识的缺乏是需要考虑的重要因素。
