“…Of our personal risk factors, both impulsivity and internalizing symptoms were associated with more likely online hate offending. In line with earlier research on impulsivity and aggressive behavior [36] and online aggression [15,16,27], it appears that impulsive individuals are more likely to offend or threaten others online. Impulsive individuals show less self-reflection or hesitation in their online communication and, thus, they might fail more often than others to inhibit their behavior or "think before they post" [11].…”

“…In online interaction, many features such as anonymity and reduced social presence might make impulsive individuals less likely to self-reflect or hesitate before posting hostile content [11]. High impulsiveness is associated with aggressive behavior in general [36] and in online environments [15,16].…”

“…Explanations for antisocial online behavior include personal risk factors for online offending such as impulsivity [15,16] and mental health problems [17,18]. Antisocial behavior on the Internet is also related to online group behavior that motivates hostilities between different identity-based groups.…”

Online hate is widely identified as a social problem, but its social psychological dimensions are yet to be explored. We used an integrative social psychological framework for analyzing online hate offending and found that both personal risk factors and online group behavior were associated with online hate offending. Study 1, based on socio-demographically balanced survey data (N = 1200) collected from Finnish adolescents and young adults, found that impulsivity and internalizing symptoms were positively associated with online hate offending. Furthermore, social homophily was positively associated with online hate offending but only among those with average or high level of internalizing symptoms. Social identification with online communities was not associated with hate offending. In Study 2, based on a vignette experiment (N = 160), online hate offenders were more likely than others to rely on in-group stereotypes (i.e. self-stereotype) in anonymous online interaction and, as a consequence, follow perceived group norms. These associations were found only when a shared group identity was primed. We conclude that both personal risk factors and group behavior are related to online hate but they have different implications for reducing hateful communication in social media.

“…Nonetheless, this relationship is also complex and is modulated by other variables. Some studies highlight that personal risky information may not only be published impulsively and spontaneously, but rather in a planned way, in order to improve a person’s social image on the web, and people may be well aware of the potential risk of publication (White et al, 2018).…”

The Effect of Parental Control on Cyber-Victimization in Adolescence: The Mediating Role of Impulsivity and High-Risk Behaviors

et al. 2019

The aim of this work is to analyze the relationship between parental control and cyber-victimization in adolescence, considering the possible mediating effect of impulsivity, and high-risk internet behavior. To that end we analyzed the responses of 3360 adolescents aged between 11 and 18 ( M = 14.02; SD = 1.40), from Asturias (Spain), to four previously validated questionnaires in order to measure the level of parental control over the use of the internet (restriction and supervision), along with high-risk internet behaviors, impulsivity, and cyber-victimization in the adolescents. The results show that parental control tends to have a protective effect on the likelihood of the children being victims of cyber-aggression, with impulsivity, and high-risk internet behaviors as mediating variables. More specifically, parental restriction and supervision are positively related to each other; both forms of parental control are negatively related with the adolescent’s engaging in high-risk internet behaviors; supervision is negatively related with impulsivity; impulsivity is positively related with high-risk internet behaviors; and both impulsivity and high-risk internet behaviors are positively related to being a victim of cyber-aggression. The practical implications of these results are discussed.

“…2 Social network sites in particular have become increasingly popular. 3,4 Facebook has tended to dominate the social media landscape for many years 5 and has also been the object of many studies. However, this situation seems to have shifted with regard to teenagers as platforms such as Instagram are becoming much more popular.…”

Mobile devices have contributed to fuel Internet use and in particular social network sites. Instagram has now become one of the most popular social network sites. Along with this growth, concerns arise about problematic use. ''Likes'' are one of the main factors catching people's attention due to their rewarding power. Particularly, during adolescence, likes are considered a sign of social approval. Surprisingly, the study of likes relationship to problematic use is scarce. In contrast, the direct effect of variables such as self-esteem on problematic use has been widely analyzed, but moderation studies to underscore the dynamics with other variables are scarce. The aim of this study is to expand current literature by analyzing the influence of likes and self-esteem on Instagram problematic use and the moderating role of self-esteem in the relationship between likes and problematic use. Participants were 244 teenagers. Regression analysis with Process macro for SPSS evidence the impact of likes on problematic use and the moderating role of self-esteem, serving as a protective factor, so that the impact of likes increase on problematic use is lower in participants with higher self-esteem compared to those with lower self-esteem. Results open the door for future research as well as for intervention efforts to benefit from social network use, while reducing teen's problematic use.
