Abstract
AbstractCyberbullying negatively impacts the social-emotional development of youth and can interfere with school engagement and academic functioning. However, little is known about how teachers can support cyber-victims. This study aims to examine the specific support strategies that predict emotional relief from severe cyber-victimization. This study also identifies demographic and contextual determinants that further facilitate emotional relief when teacher support is provided. Using a within-subjects design, participants aged 12-to-17 years old rated the intensity of their emotions after being presented with vignettes about hypothetical cyberbullying scenarios. The study found that each type of teacher support predicted emotional relief in comparison to no support for each form of severe cyberbullying, but the amount of emotional relief varied across support types, demographic factors, and contextual factors. These findings have implications for early prevention methods for teachers of victimized youth.Keywords: Cyberbullyingadolescentsocial supportteacheremotional impact Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData and study materials are available upon request.
期刊介绍:
Under the editorship of D. LaMont Johnson, PhD, a nationally recognized leader in the field of educational computing, Computers in the Schools is supported by an editorial review board of prominent specialists in the school and educational setting. Material presented in this highly acclaimed journal goes beyond the “how we did it” magazine article or handbook by offering a rich source of serious discussion for educators, administrators, computer center directors, and special service providers in the school setting. Articles emphasize the practical aspect of any application, but also tie theory to practice, relate present accomplishments to past efforts and future trends, identify conclusions and their implications.
