Abstract

The present study aims to explore the negative online experiences in adolescence, as well as examine the associations of those and their interaction patterns with the frequency of worry and risk perception in relation to several types of online victimization. We conducted a cross-sectional survey study conducted between 2022 and 2023. We collected a nonprobabilistic sample of 824 Spanish adolescents. We elaborated a questionnaire based on measures of online victimization to collect data about the fear of and risk perception of online victimization. The sample was composed of 48.3% females, 49.5% males, and 1.8% gender nonbinary, aged between 12 and 18 years old (mean = 14.53, standard deviation = 1.48). The results showed a prevalence point of negative experiences in the use of social networking or messaging apps of 23.4%, with older adolescents (aged 15-18 years) having a slightly higher prevalence than younger adolescents. Additionally, negative online experience was higher among female adolescents. The bivariate analyses of the high frequency of worry about and risk perception of online victimization and gender revealed that, overall, adolescents are more worried about online victimization than they perceive risk. The log-linear regression shows different types of associations among, the high frequency of worry about or risk perception of online victimization, negative online experiences, and gender.

青少年负面上网经验、忧虑与风险感知：性别差异与网络犯罪意识的影响。

本研究旨在探讨青少年的负面网络体验，以及这些体验及其互动模式与担忧频率和风险感知之间的关系，并与几种类型的网络受害相关。我们在2022年至2023年间进行了一项横断面调查研究。我们收集了824名西班牙青少年的非概率样本。我们根据网络受害的测量方法制作了一份调查问卷，以收集有关网络受害的恐惧和风险感知的数据。样本中女性占48.3%，男性占49.5%，性别非二元占1.8%，年龄在12 ~ 18岁之间（平均值= 14.53，标准差= 1.48）。结果显示，在使用社交网络或消息应用程序时，负面体验的流行点为23.4%，年龄较大的青少年（15-18岁）的患病率略高于年龄较小的青少年。此外，女性青少年的负面上网体验更高。对网络受害的担忧和风险感知的高频率与性别的双变量分析表明，总体而言，青少年对网络受害的担忧大于对风险的感知。对数线性回归显示，网络受害担忧或风险感知的高频率、网络负面体验与性别之间存在不同类型的关联。
