“…However, research regarding gender differences in cyberbullying behavior showed mixed results thus far (see meta-analysis [26]). Some studies found that boys were more likely to be cyberbullies than girls (e.g., [8,10]), whereas others found girls to be more often a cyberbully than boys (e.g., [25]), and yet others found no gender differences in cyberbullying behavior (e.g., [27]). Given these mixed results, it is important to include gender in our analyses.…”

A B S T R A C TPurpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of adolescents' exposure to media portraying antisocial and risk behavior on cyberbullying behavior over time. Previous research established relatively high prevalence of cyberbullying behavior among adolescents, although not much is known about the possible predictors of cyberbullying behavior. This study examines the long-term effects of media exposure herein. Furthermore, we examined whether boys and girls differ in this respect. Methods: The long-term effects were tested in a longitudinal design with three waves (N ¼ 1,005; age range, 11e17 years; 49% boys). Measured variables: cyberbullying behavior and exposure to media with antisocial and risk behavior content. Results: Results of mixed-model analyses showed that higher levels of exposure to media with antisocial and risk behavior content significantly contributed to higher initial rates of cyberbullying behavior. Moreover, an increase in exposure to antisocial media content was significantly related to an increase in cyberbullying behavior over time. For both boys and girls, higher exposure to antisocial and risk behavior media content increases cyberbullying behavior over time though more clearly for boys than for girls. Conclusions: This study provided empirical support for the amplifying effect of exposure to antisocial media content on adolescents' cyberbullying behavior over time. Results are discussed in view of adolescents' media use and the larger theoretical framework.Ó 2015 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. All rights reserved. IMPLICATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONThis study contributes to the better understanding of the long-term effects of media exposure on cyberbullying behavior. An increase in exposure to media with antisocial and risk behavior content relates to an increase in cyberbullying behavior over time. Continued research is needed to examine which adolescents are especially prone.Cyberbullying behavior received much research attention over the past few years, likely because of the prevalence of cyberbullying incidents reported in the media with severe consequences (e.g., see special journal issues about cyberbullying) [1,2]. Research shows that cyberbullying negatively affects adolescents' self-esteem, academic performances, and suicidal ideation among others [3e7]. Although not much is known about possible predictors of cyberbullying behavior, previous research showed that one such factor is media exposure. Former studies found significant relationships between exposure to media with violent content and face-to-face bullying as well as cyberbullying [8e13]. Recent research included a broader scope of antisocial media exposure, including not only violence portrayals but also other types of antisocial and risk behavior content such as stealing, substance abuse, and sexual intimidation, to be related to cyberbullying behavior [14]. However, to our knowledge, no research exists thus far that examined the longer term relationships between exposure to antisocial m...

Developments in technology and widespread use of technology by young people have enabled the use of technology to enforce bullying behaviors that students have shown in schools.The malicious use of information and communication technologies has led to the observation of a tyranny called "cyber bullying" among bullying types among students in schools.This study examines the relationship between internet addiction and cyber bullying behaviors in adolescents. The sample group of the study was comprised of 239 adolescents attending to different high schools in İstanbul.In the study, "Individual Information Form", developed by the authors, was used for the collection of information data about participants,"Internet Addiction Scale" was used to assess internet addiction in adolescents and "Cyber bullying Scale" was used to assess the cyber bullying behaviours. As a result of the research between the scores of Cyberbullying Scale and the Internet addiction Scale, reveals that there is a significant positive correlation between cyberbullying and Internet addiction (r=,374, p<0,01).

“…Estos resultados pueden resultar sorprendentes, pues en los estudios que encuentran diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto al género las chicas aparecen como víctimas en mayor medida que los hombres (Calvete et al, 2010;Félix-Mateo et al, 2010;Slonje y Smith, 2008;Ybarra y Mitchell, 2008). La falta de consistencia en los resultados obtenidos en distintos trabajos que han analizado la variable sexo, sugiere la necesidad de seguir indagando al respecto y tener presente el efecto modulador de otras variables.…”

Ciberbullying y violencia en la universidad, ¿cómo afecta al abandono?Cyberbullying and violence at university, how does it affect dropout? Alejandra Dobarro, Raúl Carbajal López, Isabel Ayala Galavis, Javier Herrero y Ana Bernardo. Universidad de Oviedo ResumenEl objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar el ciberbullying en estudiantes universitarios y cómo esto puede afectar al abandono universitario. Para lograr este objetivo, se diseñó y aplicó un cuestionario a la muestra piloto. Los resultados muestran que el ciberbullying ocurre con menos frecuencia que en otros niveles educativos. Además, se muestra una correlación entre cibervictimización y rendimiento académico, sentimiento de pertenencia y percepción de apoyo que el estudiante tiene. Todavía hay pocos estudios sobre este tema, pero se debe continuar investigando en esta línea, para poder comparar estos resultados con otros de trabajos sobre este tema. Palabras clave: abandono universitario, ciberbullying, rendimiento académico. AbstractThe aim of this paper was to analyze ciberbullying in universitary students and how this can affect to university dropout. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire was design and applied to pilot sample. Results show that ciberbullying occurs less frequently than in other educational levels. Also, show correlation between cybervictimization and academic achievement, feeling of belonging and perception of support that the student has. There are still few studies on this subject, but should continue to investigate this line, to can compared these outcomes with others of works about this subject. Keywords: university dropout, cyberbullying, academic achievement Introducción La Estrategia Europa 2020 propone como uno de los objetivos a alcanzar el reducir la tasa de abandono escolar a menos del 10 % y aumentar hasta el 40 % la de titulados de la enseñanza superior (Comisión Europea, 2012). Sin embargo, la realidad es que el informe Datos y Cifras del Sistema Universitario Español que elabora el Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte (2016), nos informa que la Universidad asturiana tiene un 24,8% de abandonos permanentes y un 10,1% de cambios de titulación o abandonos temporales. Estos indicadores, como índice de calidad de las Universidades, revelan la necesidad de estudiar factores y variables relacionadas con el abandono y permanencia en los estudios superiores, a fin de proponer políticas y medidas más eficaces que permitan disminuir estas cifras. Conocer qué factores intervienen en la toma de decisiones que el estudiante hace respecto a qué titulación elegir o si continuar o no en la misma, permitirá ofrecer una orientación y apoyo más ajustado por parte de las instituciones educativas y por ello reducir las tasas de abandono.El fenómeno del abandono universitario es claramente multicausal y multidimensional, de ahí que existan diferentes modelos teóricos que tratan de dar una explicación al fenómeno centrándose en unos u otros factores. Tanto los modelos explicativos como los resultados obtenidos en estudios empíric...
