“…Different constructs have been considered in explaining such individual differences, e.g., the type of cyberbullying suffered (public or private), the intensity, the anonymity of the perpetrators and the comorbidity with other forms of bullying experienced. Moreover, perceived self-esteem, social support [9], coping style [10] and resilience [11][12][13] have been identified as protective factors against cyberbullying, entailing different strategies by the victim to counter it compared with face to face bullying.…”

Background. Recent studies have consistently identified the negative consequences of cyberbullying on adolescent mental health. Nevertheless, not all cybervictims are alike, and in the last few years some evidence has appeared indicating that faced with cyberbullying, victims may manifest different emotional outcomes. In this study, we explored whether cybervictim resilience fully or partially mediates the effects of cybervictimization and whether a confrontational coping strategy impacts emotional symptoms. Methods. The study was carried out with a sample of 474 high school students equally distributed between males and females. Data were collected using a questionnaire comprising four measures assessing cybervictimization, direct confrontation coping strategy, resilience and emotional symptoms. Results. Structural equation modelling indicated that the effects of cybervictimization and confrontational coping strategy on emotional symptoms were mediated by resilience, with cybervictimization showing a positive effect while direct confrontation a negative effect. Cybervictimization also showed a positive direct effect on emotional symptoms. Conclusions. These results are presented in light of their implications for designing effective interventions able to protect and promote adolescents’ psychological wellbeing.

“…The result of this study does not support these ideas. In line with other literature, the internet has a negative influence on the development of social relationships (Brignall and Valey 2005;Gennaro and Dutton 2007;Waskul and Douglass 1997;Gianesini and Brighi 2015). It is important to keep in mind that this literature is focused on internet usage and not social media usage.…”

“…Because of its recent invention, research of social media and the quality of effects they have on individuals is only in the beginning stages. Guided by insights from social development theories, studies have proposed that social media does have a range of effects on the development of social relationships (Blais et al 2007;Bargh et al 2002;Baym et al 2007;Abar et al 2018;Gennaro and Dutton 2007;Brignall and Valey 2005;McKenna et al 2002;Waskul and Douglass 1997;Gianesini and Brighi 2015). Some scholars propose that the internet has some degree of positive influence on the development of social relationships (Blais et al 2007; Bargh et al 2002;Baym et al 2007;Abar et al 2018;McKenna et al 2002).…”

Alternatively, other scholars propose that the internet has little influence or negative influence on the development of social relationships (Brignall and Valey 2005;Gennaro and Dutton 2007;Waskul and Douglass 1997;Gianesini and Brighi 2015). Considering these studies, it is logical to explore whether an adolescents' social relationships are being positively or negatively influenced by the use of social media.…”

Waskul and Douglass (1997) suggest that the internet brings about poor qualities in social relationships such as "anonymity, lack of role strain, multiple projected images of oneself, multiple front stages, the lack of a collective social contract, the ability to play multiple social roles, and the lack of necessity to deal with individuals or groups with which one does not agree" (Brignall and Valey 2005: 343).…”

The aim of the current study was to examine the role of resilience in the victimization experiences of students and their subjective well‐being as well as to explore gender and age‐related effects. Initially, 558 students (52.15% male) from grades 6 to 10 participated in the study completing The Student Aggression and Victimization Questionnaire, The Mental Health Continuum, and the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale. One‐hundred and twenty‐seven (22.8%) students were excluded from the final analysis, as they did not report any victimization experience during the past 3 months. Males in all year levels reported higher levels of well‐being and resilience compared with females. No gender differences were found in victimization experiences. Languishing students were found to be at higher risk of experiencing serious victimization. Resilience was not found to moderate the effects of victimization on mental health, but a higher level of resilience appeared to be related to more positive well‐being for boys and younger students. Limitations of the study and implications for anti‐bullying interventions are briefly discussed.
