Abstract

Objective: Although studied to a lesser extent than traditional bullying, the literature on cyberbullying highlights the negative effects that this form of bullying can produce among its victims. However, it is unclear whether the immediate and long-term effects of cyberbullying differ, especially when longitudinal data on this form of bullying is lacking.

Method: Using data from the National Crime Victimization Survey's 2011 and 2013 School Crime Supplement, we examine the negative effects of cyberbullying on various school outcomes during the immediate school year and after 2 years have passed.

Results: We find that the initial and prolonged effects of cyberbullying differ with most negative consequences occurring in the short term rather than the long term.

Conclusion: These findings indicate the need for early identification of cyberbullying and intervention by teachers and adults, whose support can reduce antisocial behavior and prevent short-term and prolonged negative outcomes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

病毒式传播：调查校园网络欺凌受害者对青少年的短期和长期创伤影响。

目的：虽然对网络欺凌的研究程度低于传统欺凌，但关于网络欺凌的文献强调了这种形式的欺凌可能对受害者产生的负面影响。然而，目前尚不清楚网络欺凌的即时和长期影响是否不同，特别是在缺乏这种形式的欺凌的纵向数据的情况下。方法：利用2011年和2013年国家犯罪受害调查学校犯罪补编的数据，我们研究了网络欺凌在学年和两年后对各种学校成果的负面影响。结果：我们发现网络欺凌的初期和长期影响不同，大多数负面后果发生在短期而不是长期。结论：网络欺凌需要教师和成人的早期识别和干预，他们的支持可以减少反社会行为，防止短期和长期的负面结果。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
