“…With regard to avoidance motivation, some victims of cyberbullying and bullying are likely to engage in avoidance motivations and behaviors [24,29,30]. This motivation may seem less directly related to violence as it includes the victim's attempts to mentally or physically disengage from the stressful situation [29,31]. León-Moreno et al [26] found no mediational effect of avoidance motivation between victimization and aggression in traditional bullying context.…”

Cyberaggression is often triggered by cybervictimization. However, little attention has been given to the underlying mechanisms in this relationship. Specifically, this study examined the mediating roles of stress as well as unforgiveness (i.e., revenge and avoidance motivations) in the cybervictimization-cyberbullying aggression link. The main goal is to investigate the direct and indirect effects of cybervictimization on cyberbullying aggression while modeling a process in which cybervictimization causes stress, which in turn causes unforgiveness motivations concluding with cyberbullying aggression as the consequent. A total of 979 adolescents (Mage = 13.72, SD = 1.31) completed the relevant scales at two time points spaced four months apart. The results confirm that stress and revenge motivation at Time 1 act as serial mediators between cybervictimization at Time 1 and cyberbullying behaviors at Time 2. Additionally, the results reveal that avoidance at Time 1 was not a significant mediator in the links between cybervictimization at Time 1 and cyberbullying aggression at Time 2. Our findings provide support for the stress-and-coping model of forgiveness in adolescence and offer original insight into the developmental process of bully-victims in cyberbullying context. These results suggest the importance of efforts addressing motivations and emotion-focused coping strategies in adolescents who have been bullied to prevent and reduce those adolescents’ future stress and aggressive behaviors. The contributions and implications of the results are discussed.

“…Bullying victimization is a common social determinant of health among adolescents, with 8% of 15 year olds surveyed in 37 countries reporting at least two episodes of bullying victimization in the previous “few” months (WHO, ). Research has shown that bullying victims have a significantly greater risk of depression (Bowes, Joinson, Wolke, & Lewis, ), suicide (Bauman et al, ; Messias et al, ; Mueller et al, ; Sibold et al, ; Van Geel et al, ), substance use (Valdebenito, Ttofi, & Eisner, ), sexual risk‐taking (Hertz, Everett, Barrios, David‐Ferdon, & Holt, ), school avoidance (Hutzell & Payne, ) and other psychological and behavioral problems (Litwiller & Brausch, ; Olweus, ). Because of the numerous associated negative health outcomes, including suicidality (Bauman et al, ; Messias et al, ; Mueller et al, ; Sibold et al, ; Van Geel et al, ), greater attention has been given to address this form of victimization, especially now that new forms of bullying victimization are possible through social media.…”

This research used four consecutive waves of data from the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), to estimate linear time trends by gender in the prevalence of school and electronic bullying victimization among U.S. high school students (N = 61,042). Dependent variables were student self-reported school bullying victimization and electronic bullying victimization during the previous 12 months. Independent variables used to estimate multiple logistic regression models by gender were survey year, race/ethnicity, and grade level. Results showed the prevalence of school bullying increased significantly among females from 2009 (21.2%) to 2015 (24.8%), linear trend OR = 1.08 [1.04, 1.12]; and decreased significantly among males from 2009 (18.7%) to 2015 (15.8%), linear trend OR = 0.93 [0.89, 0.98]. Prevalence of electronic bullying was unchanged between 2011 to 2015 among both male and female students. Asian race, relative to White race, was associated with significantly lower rates of both school and electronic bullying victimization among females, but not males. The incidence of school and electronic bullying victimization was significantly lower among Black and Hispanic students, but not among multiple-race students, regardless of student gender. Healthy People 2020 set a goal to reduce school bullying victimization 10% by 2019. As of 2015, school bullying victimization decreased significantly among males (16% decrease); it significantly increased among females (17% increase). Future research should explore underlying factors related to these divergent trends, and develop effective strategies to reverse the alarming rise in female school bullying victimization.

“…Ciertamente, en la literatura científica previa son numerosos los estudios que han analizado las principales características y factores de riesgo vinculados a la implicación de los adolescentes en agresiones hacia sus compañeros o que incrementan el riesgo de ser víctimas, como el aislamiento social, la soledad, la baja satisfacción con la vida o la falta de empatía (Espelage et al, 2018;Estévez et al, 2018;Hutzell y Payne, 2018;Moran et al, 2015). Sin embargo, algunos adolescentes no son únicamente agresores o víctimas, sino que se ha observado la existencia de un grupo de ado-lescentes que desempeñan el doble rol de agresor y víctima, y que han recibido menor atención en la investigación previa.…”

El acoso escolar es una de las principales problemáticas en la adolescencia, con graves consecuencias. En comparación con la gran cantidad de estudios centrados en el rol de víctima pasiva y agresor puro, todavía son escasas las investigaciones centradas en el doble rol de agresor-víctima. Así, el objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar posibles diferencias en empatía emocional y cognitiva, evaluación de la red social, soledad emocional y satisfacción con la vida entre cinco grupos de adolescentes con diferente implicación en el acoso escolar: “no implicados”, “agresores/víctimas ocasionales”, “víctimas frecuentes”, “agresores frecuentes” y “agresores/víctimas frecuentes”. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1034 adolescentes (50.6% chicos y 49.4% chicas), entre 12 y 19 años. Los resultados mostraron que los agresores frecuentes tienen menor empatía emocional que las víctimas frecuentes y los agresores-víctimas ocasionales. Por otro lado, las víctimas frecuentes presentan una evaluación más negativa de la red social que los agresores-víctimas ocasionales. Los adolescentes víctimas y agresores-víctimas frecuentes muestran mayor soledad. Por último, los noimplicados y los agresores-víctimas ocasionales presentan mayor satisfacción con la vida. Estos resultados y sus implicaciones son discutidos.
