“…Before the experiment began, participants completed a questionnaire about frequency of their experience with cyberbullying on various online platforms using a scale developed and tested in a prior study conducted in Hong Kong ( Leung et al, in press ), participants rated 10 items on a 5-point scale (1 = never; 5 = very frequently) to measure their cyberbullying behavior, (e.g., I gossip or say mean things about others on the internet; alpha = 0.91), and their cyberbullying victimization, (e.g., Others gossip or say mean things about me on the internet ; alpha = 0.91). Based on their responses, participants were classified into one of four cyberbully-victim groups: non-involved, pure bullies, pure victims, and cyberbully-victims using mean score as cut-off points for the two scales (see Figure 1 ).…”

“…Cultural differences in endorsing a decision to intervene or not when witnessing cyberbullying, may also shape the subjective norms of Hong Kong adolescents. Finally, a recent study ( Leung et al, in press ) found that 58% of Hong Kong college students reported cyberbullying others; while 68% of those also reported being cyber-victimized themselves. These prevalence rates are comparable to those reported in Western settings.…”

The present study tested how exposure to two types of responses to a hypothetical simulated Facebook setting influenced cyber-bystanders’ perceived control and normative beliefs using a 4 cyberbully-victim group (pure cyberbullies, non-involved, pure cyberbullied victims, and cyberbullied-victims) × 2 condition (offend vs. defend) experimental design. 203 Hong Kong Chinese secondary school and university students (132 females, 71 males; 12 to 28; M = 16.70; SD = 3.03 years old) were randomly assigned into one of two conditions. Results showed that participants’ involvement in cyberbullying significantly related to their control beliefs about bully and victim assisting behaviors, while exposure to the two different conditions (offend vs. defend comments) was related to both their control and normative beliefs. In general, the defend condition promoted higher control beliefs to help the victims and promoted higher normative beliefs to help the victims. Regardless of their past involvement in cyberbullying and exposure to offend vs. defend conditions, both cyber-bullies and cyber-victims were more inclined to demonstrate normative beliefs to help victims than to assist bullies. These results have implications for examining environmental influences in predicting bystander behaviors in cyberbullying contexts, and for creating a positive environment to motivate adolescents to become “upstanders” in educational programs to combat cyberbullying.

“…Кроме того, был сделан вывод о том, что чем дольше длится атака на жертву, тем серьезнее ее воздействие, особенно связанное с нарушением сна, головными болями, болями в животе, недостатком концентрации внимания или снижением иммунитета. К этому добавляются отмеченное возрастающее количество конфликтов в семье, с коллегами, начальником, учениками или студентами и т. д. В выполненном в Гонконге исследовании [59] проверялись два предположения, заключающиеся в том, что кибербуллинг отрицательно влияет на удовлетворенность жизнью, и что качество дружбы смягчает виктимизацию от киберпреступности. Для этого было опрошено 312 студентов колледжа Гонконга (174 мужчины, 138 женщины) в возрасте 18-25 лет.…”

“…Los resultados de esta investigación muestran que los adolescentes cibervictimizados "1 año (o más)" son los que obtienen puntuaciones significativamente menores en satisfacción a la vida. Estos hallazgos son acordes con la investigación realizada por Leung, Wong, & Farver (2018). En concreto estos autores muestran que ser víctima de cyberbullying se relaciona con una peor percepción de satisfacción con la vida.…”

RESUMENEl cyberbullying es un problema creciente y grave que suscita mucha preocupación social. La evidencia empírica muestra que los adolescentes victimizados muestran mayor malestar psicológico, y sufren rechazo por parte de sus compañeros. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar las diferencias existentes en las variables satisfacción con la vida, sintomatología depresiva, y soledad de las cibervíctimas en función de la duración de este tipo de intimidación (no me ha pasado, 1 mes (o menos), entre 3 y 6 meses, y 1 año (o más)). Además, se analizó el valor predictivo de las variables objeto de estudio en la cibervictimización. La muestra estuvo formada por 785 adolescentes (53.4% chicos y 46.6% chicas), entre 12 y 18 años. Los resultados muestran que la satisfacción con la vida disminuye en las víctimas conforme el cyberbullying se prolonga en el tiempo. Además, las cibervíctimas, independientemente del tiempo, muestran mayores síntomas depresivos, y los adolescentes ciberintimidados "1 año (o más)" son los que perciben una mayor soledad. Los resultados evidencian el daño psicológico y social de las cibervíctimas a lo largo del tiempo, así como la necesidad de prestar una mayor atención a la prevención de esta preocupante problemática.
