Abstract

Gossip is a type of social behavior present in all types of social networks, and cybergossip is an emerging kind of online social behavior which can both promote and hinder relationships between peers. The aim of this study was to explore the relation between involvement in cybergossip and the development of behavior of social adjustment, bullying and cyberbullying (aggression and victimization), based on gender and age. A total of 510 secondary school students (49.4% girls) aged 12 to 17 years old (M = 14.01; SD = 1.38) were surveyed by self-report. Questionnaires validated with adolescents were used to measure bullying, social adjustment and cyberbullying. The results showed that a high prevalence of involvement in cybergossip was associated with bullying and cyberbullying behavior (aggression and victimization), with girls showing the greatest involvement in cybergossip. The discussion of the results focuses on the gender difference, as well as the importance of the need for training in the proper use of digital devices for social education and socialization.

青少年参与网络八卦：对社会适应、欺凌和网络欺凌的影响。

八卦是一种存在于各种类型的社交网络中的社会行为，而网络八卦是一种新兴的网络社会行为，它既能促进也能阻碍同伴之间的关系。本研究的目的是探讨网络八卦参与与社会适应行为、欺凌行为和网络欺凌行为(攻击和受害)发展之间的关系，基于性别和年龄。共有510名12至17岁的中学生(49.4%为女生)(M = 14.01;SD = 1.38)。采用青少年问卷对欺凌、社会适应和网络欺凌进行测量。结果显示，参与网络八卦的高流行率与欺凌和网络欺凌行为(攻击和受害)有关，其中女孩参与网络八卦的程度最高。对结果的讨论侧重于性别差异，以及在正确使用数字设备方面进行培训对社会教育和社会化的重要性。
