“…These could be related to the effectiveness of the two active coping strategies mentioned above. In our interviews with 18 victims of cyberbullying [ 76 ], a problem-solving strategy mentioned by a victim was to fight back, such as “throwing racist comments back to them”. Besides, technological coping may not be effective for the bullying that had a combination of school bullying and cyberbullying [ 77 ].…”

Studies have shown the relationships among cybervictimization, coping strategies, and depression, but no study has examined the mechanism that links the three variables. Accordingly, this study used the transactional model of stress and coping theory as a conceptual framework and proposed that coping strategies are mediators for the effects of cybervictimization on depression. A total of 387 adolescents were recruited by using the purposive sampling method. The results showed that cybervictimization is not directly associated with depression. All the coping strategies are found to be associated with cybervictimization, but only the avoidant coping strategy is the statistical mediator for the effects of cybervictimization on depression. This study’s findings suggest that the transactional model of stress and coping theory may provide a framework in the area of cyberbullying and recommend more actions to be taken in order to reduce the use of avoidance coping strategies among victims of cyberbullying.

“…The experience of suffering from victimization is regarded as a chronic and severe stressor (e.g., Chua et al, 2022;Potard et al, 2022). According to the stress and coping model, coping is understood as the efforts that individuals direct to deal with environmental and/or internal demands and the resulting emotions that may arise as a consequence of the stressful encounter (Folkman et al, 1986).…”

“…For instance, the frequency and valence of affective events in adolescence may be tested as a potential factor eliciting emotions and the enactment of certain CER strategies. Also, it may be differences in the CER processes, depending on whether the bully is known or unknown (Chua et al, 2022). Last but not least, there is a need to examine stressful and negative events in adolescents' contexts that may exert cyberbullying aggressions (e.g., Herd & Kim-Spoon, 2021).…”

Adolescents involved in experiences of cybervictimization and cyberbullying are at increased risk of psychological maladjustment and ill-being. However, not all adolescents involved in cyberbullying roles experience similar consequences and cognitive emotion regulation (CER) might be a key factor. Despite growing interest in the role CER strategies play in cyberbullying behaviours, little is known about the predictive utility of these strategies in predicting cybervictimization and cyberbullying over time. Therefore, the aim of this prospective study was to test the incremental predictive validity of specific CER strategies in cybervictimization and cyberbullying in a sample of adolescents. To this end, data were collected in two waves four months apart from a sample of 841 adolescents (466 females) aged 12 to 18 (MageT1 = 13.77, SDT1 = 1.34; MageT2 = 13.71, SDT2 = 1.31). Participants filled out a set of questionnaires measuring cybervictimization, cyberbullying, and CER strategies. Main results showed blaming others as the unique strategy showing incremental predictive value to both cybervictimization and cyberbullying four months later, above and beyond previous cybervictimization and cyberbullying experiences. Overall, the results highlighted the need to account for CER strategies, such as blaming others, in relation to the potential initiation and development of cyberbullying and cybervictimization behaviours. These findings suggest possible future avenues for intervention efforts targeting the maintenance of online aggressive behaviours and victimization across time.
