Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the mediating role of the problematic social networking sites use (PSNSU) in the relationship between both cybervictimization and offline victimization and cyberbullying in boys and girls. The sample consisted of 2,011 adolescents (50.67% boys and 49.32% girls), aged between 12 and 18 years old (M = 14.17, SD = 1.47), enrolled in schools in Andalusia, Spain. To examine this objective, moderated mediation model of the PROCESS macro was used. The results showed that both cybervictimization and offline victimization are positively related to cyberbullying directly and indirectly through PSNSU. Moreover, it was observed that boys victimized both online and offline demonstrated a higher involvement in cyberbullying, whereas girls reported a higher PSNSU. However, the PSNSU mediating effect was not moderated by gender. Finally, the results and their practical implications are discussed.

本研究的目的是探讨问题社交网站的使用(PSNSU)在男孩和女孩的网络受害和线下受害与网络欺凌之间的关系中的中介作用。样本包括2011名在西班牙安达卢西亚学校就读的12 - 18岁青少年(男生50.67%,女生49.32%)(M = 14.17, SD = 1.47)。为了检验这一目标,使用了PROCESS宏的调节中介模型。结果表明,网络受害和线下受害均通过PSNSU直接和间接地与网络欺凌呈正相关。此外,我们还观察到,在线和离线受害的男孩表现出更高的网络欺凌参与程度,而女孩报告的PSNSU更高。然而,PSNSU的中介效应不受性别的调节。最后,讨论了研究结果及其实际意义。Cibervictimización, victimización离线网络欺凌:el rol mediador del uso problemático de las redes sociales virtuales en chicos y chicas
