Abstract

Adolescence is marked by a unique blend of factors, including adolescents’ exploration of their emerging sexuality and growing engagement with digital media. As adolescents increasingly navigate online spaces, cybergrooming victimization has emerged as a significant concern for the development and protection of young people. Yet, there is a lack of systematic analyses of the current state of research. To this end, the present systematic review aimed to integrate existing quantitative research on prevalence rates, risk factors, and outcomes of cybergrooming victimization, informed by an adaptation of the General Aggression Model. Studies providing self-reported data on cybergrooming victimization of people between the ages of 5 and 21 were included. A total of 34 studies met all inclusion criteria, with most focusing on adolescence. Reported prevalence rates were characterized by strong heterogeneity, which could largely be attributed to the underlying methodology. Overall, the included studies showed that at least one in ten young people experiences cybergrooming victimization. Findings further indicated that various factors, for example, being a girl, being older, engaging in risky behavior, displaying problematic Internet use, reporting lower mental well-being, and experiencing other types of victimization, are positively associated with cybergrooming victimization. However, most studies’ cross-sectional designs did not allow for an evidence-based classification into risk factors, outcomes, and co-occurrences, so findings were embedded in the proposed model based on theoretical considerations. In addition, there is a noted lack of studies that include diverse samples, particularly younger children, LGBTQIA+ youth, and young people with special educational needs. These findings emphasize that cybergrooming victimization is a prevalent phenomenon among young people that requires prevention and victim support addressing multiple domains.

网络诱骗受害者在年轻人:患病率,风险因素和结果的系统回顾
青少年的特点是一系列独特的因素,包括青少年对新出现的性行为的探索,以及越来越多地使用数字媒体。随着青少年越来越多地使用网络空间,网络诱骗受害已成为青少年发展和保护的一个重大问题。然而,对目前的研究现状缺乏系统的分析。为此,本系统综述旨在整合现有的关于网络诱骗受害的患病率、风险因素和结果的定量研究,并通过对一般攻击模型的调整来提供信息。这些研究提供了5岁至21岁人群遭受网络诱骗的自我报告数据。共有34项研究符合所有纳入标准,其中大多数集中在青少年身上。报告的患病率具有很强的异质性,这在很大程度上可归因于潜在的方法。总体而言,纳入的研究表明,至少十分之一的年轻人经历过网络诱骗的受害者。研究结果进一步表明,各种因素,例如,作为一个女孩,年龄较大,从事危险行为,显示有问题的互联网使用,报告较低的心理健康,以及经历其他类型的受害,都与网络诱骗受害呈正相关。然而,大多数研究的横断面设计不允许对风险因素、结果和共现情况进行循证分类,因此研究结果被嵌入基于理论考虑的拟议模型中。此外,值得注意的是,缺乏包括不同样本的研究,特别是年幼的儿童、LGBTQIA+青年和有特殊教育需求的年轻人。这些研究结果强调,网络诱骗受害者是年轻人中普遍存在的现象,需要从多个领域对受害者进行预防和支持。

期刊介绍: Adolescent Research Review publishes articles that review important contributions to the understanding of adolescence.  The Review draws from the many subdisciplines of developmental science, psychological science, education, criminology, public health, medicine, social work, and other allied disciplines that address the subject of youth and adolescence. The editors are especially interested in articles that bridge gaps between disciplines or that focus on topics that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.  Reviews must be cutting edge and comprehensive in the way they advance science, practice or policy relating to adolescents.
