“…One study found that Latine youth were especially concerned with sexually explicit images being shared online (Salomon & Brown, 2021). Being Black and female were related to higher likelihood of receiving a request for explicit pictures online among adolescents 10–17 years of age (Mitchell et al, 2007), which may be reflective of a culture that oversexualizes Black women (Biefeld et al, 2021; Francisco & Felmlee, 2022). Research with college students has documented sexual objectification of Asian women and emasculation of Asian men on discussion boards (Museus & Truong, 2013).…”

Online aggression represents a wide range of negative experiences, including online discrimination targeting individuals based on race, but adolescent perspectives are not well‐represented. We interviewed 15 adolescents regarding their experiences with online racial discrimination. After a phenomenological analysis, four main themes emerged: types of online racial aggression, processes supporting online racism, personal coping, and strategies to prevent online racial aggression. These themes provided insights into adolescent experiences, including feelings about targeted online racial discrimination, intersectionality with sexual harassment, and comfort through processing with friends. This study highlights adolescents' thoughts regarding advocacy, education, and social media reform to prevent online racial aggression. Future research should ensure that youth voices from minoritized racial backgrounds are integrated into efforts to address these critical social issues.

“…Our results are also consistent with other studies involving people without social influence or power. For instance, verbal abuse and humiliation are the most common types of online harassment directed at college students (Finn, 2004 ), as well as Black and Latin women (Francisco & Felmlee, 2022 ).…”

Influencers are persistently exposed through social media. Once almost unapproachable, celebrities are now open to daily interaction with the public. From comments, polls, emails, and even private messages, the public can engage with their celebrities with a mere click. While this engagement provides influencers with advantages, it also renders them particularly susceptible to online harassment and toxic critics. This paper investigates the characteristics, impact, and reactions to cyber victimisation among social media influencers. To accomplish this objective, the paper presents the findings of two studies: a self-reported online victimisation survey conducted among Spanish influencers and an online ethnography. The results indicate that over 70% of influencers have encountered some form of online harassment and toxic critics. Cyber victimisation, its effects, and reactions vary across socio-demographic characteristics and the influencers’ profiles. Furthermore, the qualitative analysis of the online ethnography reveals that harassed influencers can be classified as non-ideal victims. The implications of these findings for the literature are discussed.

“…As stated by Riaza and Rodriguez (2016), Brochado et al (2017, this type of harassment is common in ages between 12 and 16 years, since there is an excessive connection to mobile devices in daily life (Casado et al, 2019;Tynes et al, 2019;Cooney-O'Donoghue et al, 2021), which causes the transfer of traditional bullying behaviors to the online space (Noakes and Noakes, 2021). Additonally, related with previous researches, (Ferfolja et al, 2020;Shaw et al, 2020;Ullman, 2020), depending on gender, there are greater possibilities of being victims of stalkers (Francisco and Felmlee, 2021).…”

Correlational study on cyberbullying and social abilities in intercultural teenagers

2022

This article analyzes the relationship between cyberbullying profile by racist reasons and social abilities in a group of intercultural teenagers living in Spain (N = 1478). The study includes participants aged between 12 and 16 years old (M = 13.99; SD = 1.352). Of these, 738 were male (49.9%) and 740 were female (50.1%). A correlational study was carried out using online tools with suitable psychometrics parameters (content-construct validity and reliability). The first one was a scale that measured social abilities, and the second one evaluated racist or xenophobic cyberbullying, differentiating the victim and aggressor profiles. The results indicated five main findings: (1) generally, the participants analyzed present all their social abilities; (2) for the most part, these participants do not normally experience cyberbullying; (3) a positive correlation exists between the majority of social abilities analyzed and the cybervictim profile. It was also observed a negative correlation between the social ability associated with the ability of making requests and this profile; (4) there is a positive correlation among the six social abilities analyzed and the cyberaggressor profile; (5) the racist or xenophobic cyberbullying are driven not only by the absence of social abilities, but in some cases, they are also driven by socio-demographic variables (i.e., age and gender). Likewise, this work shows how the absence of some social abilities in some participants involve racist or xenophobic experiences as victims and as aggressors, which may be of interest for the analysis of teenagers’ behavior in intercultural contexts, as well as according to age and gender. More transcultural research need to be carried out to know the global perspective of the link between social abilities and the different profiles of racist and xenophobic cyberbullying, framed in the context of social psychology and studies of mass communication.
