Abstract

ABSTRACT The article focuses on the results of a national empirical research on Generation Z’s perceptions and experiences of cyberviolence. This term refers to aggressive and intentional actions, carried out, through electronic tools by a single person or a group, which deliberately aim to hurt or damage another who cannot defend himself. The main aim of this study was to gather national data on cyberviolence in order to explore better how young people (aged 18–25) understand and experience this phenomenon and what maybe the most suitable actions to limit it. The data analysis explored three main issues: (1) The main platforms used by Generation Z on which cyberviolence can occur; (2) The level of knowledge and awareness that Generation Z has about the different forms of cyberviolence and their dangerousness; (3) The features of social media perceived as most dangerous by the respondents. The article also proposes a reflection on the actual level of awareness of young people about this issue and the need to consider digital literacy programmes that aim to teach young people how to analyse the media critically.

Z世代与网络暴力:数字平台使用与风险意识之间的关系

本文关注的是一项关于Z世代对网络暴力的认知和经历的全国性实证研究结果。这一术语指的是一个人或一个团体通过电子工具进行的具有攻击性和故意性的行动，其目的是故意伤害或损害无法自卫的其他人。这项研究的主要目的是收集有关网络暴力的国家数据，以便更好地探索年轻人(18-25岁)如何理解和体验这种现象，以及什么可能是最合适的行动来限制它。数据分析探讨了三个主要问题:(1)Z世代使用的主要平台可能发生网络暴力;(2) Z世代对不同形式的网络暴力及其危险性的认知程度;(3)被调查者认为最危险的社交媒体特征。这篇文章还提出了对年轻人对这个问题的实际认识水平的反思，以及考虑旨在教年轻人如何批判性地分析媒体的数字扫盲计划的必要性。

期刊介绍： International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
