Cybervictimization can occur within friendships, within dating, peer, or family relationships, between strangers, or it can be anonymously perpetrated. However, research examining cybervictimization across these various relationships and contexts-especially the cybervictimization that can occur within dating relationships during early adolescence-remains underdeveloped. The current study examined cybervictimization among a sample of early adolescents in middle school. We also examined if cybervictimization (across relationships and contexts) and traditional forms of victimization (i.e., peer and dating violence that happen offline) were associated with an increased risk for cybervictimization from a dating partner. Participants included 554 early adolescents (49% female) in the sixth and seventh grades at a public middle school in the Midwestern United States during the fall of 2019. Participants were racially diverse (33% African American or Black, 26% White, 15% Hispanic or Latinx, 19% multiracial) and half of the sample had started dating ( = 230). Approximately 59.2% of the sample experienced at least one form of cybervictimization in the past year. Adolescents experienced cybervictimization from friends (39.9%), someone at school (24.4%), a stranger (22.6%), a family member (25.6%), or another perpetrator (20.8%). About 72% of adolescents who started dating experienced at least one form of cybervictimization and about one in four experienced cybervictimization from a dating partner (22.6%). Experiencing offline dating violence and cybervictimization from friends was associated with cybervictimization from a dating partner. Implications are discussed, including the importance of focusing on cybervictimization and dating violence prevention among early adolescents.
网络受害情况可能发生在朋友之间、约会、同龄人或家庭关系中，也可能发生在陌生人之间，或者是匿名实施的。然而，针对这些不同关系和背景下的网络受害情况的研究——尤其是青春期早期约会关系中可能出现的网络受害情况——仍不完善。本研究调查了一所中学的青春期早期学生样本中的网络受害情况。我们还研究了网络受害情况（在各种关系和背景下）以及传统形式的受害情况（即线下发生的同伴暴力和约会暴力）是否与来自约会伴侣的网络受害风险增加有关。参与者包括2019年秋季美国中西部一所公立中学六年级和七年级的554名青春期早期学生（49%为女性）。参与者种族多样（33%为非裔美国人或黑人，26%为白人，15%为西班牙裔或拉丁裔，19%为多种族），样本中有一半开始约会（=230人）。在过去一年中，约59.2%的样本经历了至少一种形式的网络受害情况。青少年遭受朋友（39.9%）、学校里的人（24.4%）、陌生人（22.6%）、家庭成员（25.6%）或其他犯罪者（20.8%）的网络侵害。开始约会的青少年中，约72%经历了至少一种形式的网络受害情况，约四分之一的人遭受约会伴侣的网络侵害（22.6%）。经历线下约会暴力和来自朋友的网络受害情况与来自约会伴侣的网络受害情况有关。本文讨论了相关影响，包括关注青春期早期青少年网络受害情况和预防约会暴力的重要性。
