Abstract

The aim of this three-wave longitudinal study was to examine associations among cyberbullying, cybervictimization, resistance to peer pressure, and online socializing among Canadian adolescents. A total of 378 adolescents (192 boys; M_age = 13.02 years, SD = 0.71 year) from Southern British Columbia participated in this study. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect data over a period of three years. Results indicated that resistance to peer pressure at Time 1 predicted lower levels of reported engagement in cyberbullying behavior and fewer reported experiences of cybervictimization at Time 2. In addition, resistance to peer pressure at Time 2 predicted fewer experiences of cybervictimization at Time 3. Finally, a significant reciprocal association was found between cybervictimization and online socializing from Time 1 to Time 2, and online socializing at Time 2 predicted cybervictimization at Time 3. For implications, empirically informed educational programs on resistance to peer pressure and with proper content targeting time spent online and online socializing are recommended.

网络欺凌和网络受害的交叉滞后分析：青少年抵制同伴压力和网络社交的关键作用

这项三波纵向研究旨在考察加拿大青少年中网络欺凌、网络受害、抵制同伴压力和网络社交之间的关联。共有 378 名来自不列颠哥伦比亚省南部的青少年（192 名男生；= 13.02 岁，= 0.71 岁）参与了这项研究。研究采用自我报告问卷的方式收集数据，为期三年。研究结果表明，在第一阶段，抵制同伴压力预示着较低的网络欺凌行为报告水平，以及在第二阶段，较少的网络受害经历报告水平。此外，在第二阶段抵制同伴压力也预示着在第三阶段遭受网络伤害的经历会减少。最后，研究还发现，从时间 1 到时间 2，网络受害与网络社交之间存在明显的互惠关系，而时间 2 的网络社交预示着时间 3 的网络受害。因此，我们建议针对上网时间和网上社交，开展有关抵制同伴压力的教育项目，并提供适当的内容。
