“…Parents can play an important role in the prevention of online risk behavior and harmful online experiences (e.g., Livingstone and Helsper 2008;Khurana et al 2015). In the case of cyberbullying, parental involvement can be beneficial for the child both in terms of stopping the bullying and in terms of emotional support (Fridh et al 2015;Özdemir 2014).…”

Parental knowledge about adolescents' activities is an identified protective factor in terms of adolescent adjustment. While research on parental knowledge has focused on adolescents' offline behavior, there is little empirical understanding of parental knowledge about adolescents' online behavior. This study investigates parental knowledge about adolescents' online activities and experiences with online risks, as well as the correlates of such knowledge. Building on former research, open communication and knowledge-generating monitoring practices are investigated as potential correlates of parental knowledge. Use is made of triadic data, relying on reports from children aged 13 to 18, mothers and fathers within the same family (N = 357 families; 54.9 % female adolescents). The results showed that parents have little knowledge about the occurrence of online risks and their children's online activities. While mothers did not have more accurate knowledge compared to fathers, they did perceive themselves to be more knowledgeable than fathers. Associations between parental knowledge and hypothesized correlates were tested by means of one-way ANOVA tests and stepwise logistic regression models. Limited evidence was found for associations with parents' accurate knowledge about the occurrence of online risks. Engagement in knowledge-generating monitoring practices was linked to mothers and fathers' self-perceived knowledge about their children's online activities. For mothers, open communication with the child was linked to self-perceived knowledge. The findings suggest that parents need to be more aware of the possibility that online risks might occur and that more research needs to be done in order to understand what parents can do to improve their accurate knowledge.

“…El análisis de los comportamientos concretos ha permitido constatar que los más frecuentes, recibidos y ejercidos, entre iguales y entre parejas tienen que ver con bromas sexuales, comentarios obscenos y hablar de sexo, lo que confirma la necesidad de exploración sexual en los años adolescentes (Subrahmanyam y Smahel, 2011), alcanzando tasas de prevalencia en torno al 30%, en línea con estudios internacionales (Khurana et al, 2015) y nacionales (Vilá et al, 2014). Los insultos sexuales recibidos y ejercidos fueron menos frecuentes en ambos contextos, y especialmente en las chicas, con tasas de implicación media que no superaron el 7%.…”

“…Estos datos son coherentes con estudios previos donde las chicas realizan menos estos comportamientos tanto en el contexto online (Livingstone, et al, 2013) como offline (Ortega, Sánchez y Ortega-Rivera, 2008), contrastando con los estudios que han concluido que ellas reciben más estas ciberconductas (Khurana et al, 2015). En este sentido, en líneas generales nuestros datos no han mostrado diferencias significativas en el sexting en ninguno de los contextos analizados, de acuerdo al estudio de Lenhart (2009), pero en contra de lo encontrado en otros trabajos (Khurana, et al, 2015). El tipo de comportamientos concretos que cada estudio ha analizado podría estar explicando estas diferencias, haciéndose necesario que la comunidad científica aporte una definición consensuada respecto a estos fenómenos.…”

“…Khurana, Bleakley, Jordan y Romer (2015), encontraron que aproximadamente el 25% de los adolescentes entrevistados manifestaron que les habían publicado en internet información íntima personal que no querían compartir y habían recibido mensajes ofensivos con contenido sexual, estando más implicadas las chicas que los chicos. Ellos sin embargo, han aparecido más implicados en el envío de mensajes con contenido sexual.…”

RESUMEN:Las TIC han revolucionado los ecosistemas relacionales humanos, especialmente entre los adolescentes. Partiendo del modelo de la Co-construcción entre los contextos online y offline, es de esperar que adolescentes y jóvenes expresen en ambos escenarios las tareas del desarrollo propias de su etapa evolutiva, como la sexualidad y el inicio de las relaciones de pareja. Estas tareas de desarrollo se convierten en experiencias de aprendizaje fundamentales, si bien no exentas de dificultades, pudiendo derivar en conductas agresivas y de riesgo, como las ciberagresiones sexuales o el sexting. La atención al fenómeno de las agresiones y riesgos de la ciberconducta sexual se ha incrementado en los últi-mos años, aunque todavía no existen datos concluyentes. Este trabajo se ha planteado describir la prevalencia de estas ciberconductas en la adolescencia tanto en los iguales como en la pareja, así como el malestar emocional percibido. 268 adolescentes con experiencia sentimental (edad media 14.22, d.e. 1.44), fueron entrevistados utilizando una versión adaptada del Sexual Harassment Survey. Los resultados mostraron que estas ciberconductas estaban igual de presentes en las parejas y entre iguales, y que los comportamientos más frecuentes fueron los intercambios de mensajes e imágenes con contenido sexual visual y verbal. Los chicos afirmaron realizar estos comportamientos más que las chicas, pero ambos afirmaron recibirlas en los mismos porcentajes. Las chicas percibieron más molestos estos comportamientos que los chicos. Los resultados se discuten atendiendo al significado que estos comportamientos tienen en la vida relacional adolescente. Palabras clave: riesgos de la ciberconducta sexual, agresión sexual online, cibercortejo, adolescencia Cyberdating in adolescence: the risks and the emotional harm of sexual cyberbehavior ABSTRACT:The new technologies have changed the way people interact with each other, especially among adolescents. The co-construction model stress that online and offline context are connected, so adolescents express the tasks and issues of their age, as sexuality and romantic relationships, in both contexts. These developmental tasks are an important source of learning, but some difficulties can appear, as sexual aggressions and other risky sexual behaviors. The attention to aggressive and risk of sexual behavior online has increased in the last years although results are not conclusive. This study will analyze the prevalence of

Some studies have been more specific, finding a significantly larger effect for supervision than for restriction (Khurana et al 2015). However, there is research which suggests the existence of a positive relationship between parental internet control and engaging in high-risk internet behaviours (Duerager and Livingstone 2012) or being the victim of cyberbullying (Sasson and Mesch 2017).…”

Abstract:One of the main predictors of being a victim of cyber-aggression is engaging in high-risk behaviours on the internet. The main objective of this research is to analyse the relationship between two types of parental control (restriction and supervision) and engagement in high-risk internet behaviours during adolescence. To that end, and as a secondary objective, we designed and validated the High-risk Internet Behaviours Questionnaire for adolescents, used in this study. We analysed the responses of 946 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 to the High-risk Internet Behaviours Questionnaire and the Questionnaire on Parental Control of Internet Use in Adolescence. The results show that the questionnaire has appropriate metrics of reliability and validity, and show the existence of a statistically significant negative relationship, albeit small, between supervision and engaging in high-risk internet behaviours. We discuss the practical implications of these results.
