Abstract

This study focuses on the risks of online activity within the social network sites used by primary and secondary school pupils, with regard to bullying in cyberspace. Questionnaires were used to collect the empirical data. In the first scale, an exploratory factor analysis related to the online activity of pupils was used. It indicated four factors, namely: passive use of social networking sites, active communication on social networking sites, access to high-risk media content, and searching for self-development media content. In the second scale that focused on the forms of cyberbullying, two factors were indicated, namely: bullying through online communication and bullying through visual aggression. The study identified 189 respondents out of 931 pupils from the research sample who had been repeatedly cyberbullied. The research was conducted with pupils of secondary schools and high schools in the Slovak Republic. A relationship between the frequency types of social networking sites’ usage and the extent of bullying in cyberspace was observed. The research confirmed the existence of a direct dependence between the frequency of active communication on social networking sites and the extent of bullying through online communication. No statistically significant connection was confirmed between the other factors.

网络欺凌受害者在线活动的风险方面

这项研究的重点是中小学生使用的社交网站内的网络活动对网络空间欺凌的风险。问卷被用来收集经验数据。在第一个量表中，使用了与学生在线活动相关的探索性因素分析。它指出了四个因素，即：被动使用社交网站、在社交网站上主动交流、访问高风险媒体内容和搜索自我发展的媒体内容。在关注网络欺凌形式的第二个量表中，指出了两个因素，即：通过网络交流的欺凌和通过视觉攻击的欺凌。这项研究在931名反复受到网络欺凌的学生中确定了189名受访者。这项研究是对斯洛伐克共和国的中学和高中学生进行的。观察了社交网站使用频率类型与网络空间欺凌程度之间的关系。这项研究证实了社交网站上主动交流的频率与通过在线交流受到欺凌的程度之间存在直接依赖关系。其他因素之间没有统计学上的显著联系。
