“…6,10,25,29 They are also in agreement with previous studies that report positive associations between CV and alcohol and drug use. 25,29 The absence of an association between CV and self-reported general health in the current study suggests that the association with CV may be specific to mental health and substance use.…”

“…For instance, in the study reporting the highest rates of CV (55.3%), CV was classified as present if it occurred once in the respondent's lifetime. 4 The study that reports the lowest rate of CV (8.6%) 6 applied dual criteria: experienced CV at least four times or more and answered yes to a specific example of cyberbullying since being at college. Within Canada, an online survey completed at four universities (N = 1733, female = 74%) estimated the 12-month prevalence of CV to be 24.1%.…”

“…25 Studies of college students report that CV is associated with higher levels of depression, anxiety, suicidality and substance use. 6,10 However, studies examining the association between CV and mental health among adults are scarce. Hango 11 reported that CV is associated with mental health problems and marijuana use among emerging adults aged 15-29 years.…”

OBJECTIVES:To examine the prevalence of cyberbullying victimization (CV), its associations with self-reported health and substance use and the extent to which age moderates these associations. METHODS:We used the 2014 Canadian General Social Survey on Victimization (N = 31 907, mean age = 45.83, SD = 18.67) and binary logistic regression models to estimate the strength of association between CV and health-related outcomes. RESULTS:The five-year prevalence of CV was 5.1%. Adolescents reported the highest prevalence of CV (12.2%), compared to all other adult age groups (1.7%-10.4%). After controlling for socio-demographic covariates, individuals exposed to CV had increased odds of reporting poor mental health (OR = 4.259, 95% CI = 2.853-6.356), everyday limitations due to mental health problems (OR = 3.263, 95% CI = 2.271-4.688), binge drinking (OR = 2.897, 95% CI = 1.765-4.754), and drug use (OR = 3.348, 95% CI = 2.333-4.804), compared to those not exposed to CV. The associations between CV and self-reported mental health and substance use were strongest for adolescents and attenuated across the adult age groups.CONCLUSION: Adolescence may represent a developmental period of heightened susceptibility to CV. Developing and evaluating targeted preventive interventions for this age group is warranted.KEY WORDS: Bullying; mental health; adolescent La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.

“…This new shift in focus is logical given that the vast majority of heavy users of cyber technology are emerging adults [2]. Incidence rates of cyberbullying among emerging adults and college students are estimated to be around 10% -15% [8], [9]. Some studies have suggested that cyberbullying among college students may reflect a continuation of bullying behavior from high school but in a different context, one which is digital in nature [10].…”

Using cross-sectional, self-report data this study investigates the effect of cyberbullying victimization on depression with gender and age as moderating factors. The sample (n = 1400) consisted of students in a large public university in Kuwait. First, the results show that gender was a significant predictor of depression with females being higher than males on this measure. Second, age was a significant negative predictor with older subjects less likely than younger ones to experience depression. Finally, the study examined the interaction effect of gender and age with cyber-victimization. Results indicate that there is no significant interaction effect between gender and cyber-victimization. However, a significant interaction effect exists between age and cyber-victimization. Older subjects are likely to suffer more depression when exposed to cyber-victimization than younger ones.
