This scoping review systematically reviewed empirical studies on TFSVA in Asian societies, focusing on how cultural contexts and platform ecosystems shape victimization, coping, and governance. Using PRISMA-ScR-consistent procedures, 22 studies published between 2021 and 2025 were identified across databases and analyzed, with all included studies focusing on adult populations. Across studies, TFSVA appears as a continuum of overlapping harms, with image-based abuse and deepfakes generating persistent, networked exposure that extends into mental health distress, social withdrawal, and offline safety risks. Coping strategies are characterized by low-visibility, individualized risk management shaped by stigma and institutional uncertainty, while culture and infrastructure jointly shape harm recognition and help-seeking. The review highlights the need for comparative, platform- and governance-focused research that integrates mental health outcomes and cultural context.</p>","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"616-624"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148758269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Competing models analysis confirmed this directionality: the forward mediation (PSU → cognitive flexibility → PE) was significant, whereas the reverse was not.

This study identified four main approaches to defining TB, including umbrella, subconcept, impact-based approach, and intent-based approach, highlighting form and intent as key dimensions for its classification. The occurrence of TB was related to social beliefs, technological features, game-related experiences, and individual characteristics.

A large-scale multicenter survey involving 24,470 students (mean age = 14.37 ± 1.52 years; 48.40 percent female) from three Chinese cities was conducted using standardized instruments to assess IA, SI, childhood trauma, and depression. Logistic regression and interaction analyses showed that IA was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of SI, with stronger associations observed among female adolescents. Childhood trauma and depressive symptoms significantly moderated the IA-SI relationship (interaction odds ratio [OR] = 6.81/6.88). However, stratified analysis showed that the association between IA and SI was stronger among adolescents without childhood trauma (OR = 3.38) than among those with childhood trauma (OR = 2.63), and the association was also stronger among adolescents without depressive symptoms (OR = 2.88) compared to those with depressive symptoms (OR = 1.80). These differences were primarily attributed to the higher baseline risk of SI among adolescents with childhood trauma and depressive symptoms, which attenuated the relative effect of IA. This effect was more pronounced during early adolescence. These findings suggest that IA may represent a potentially modifiable behavioral risk factor for SI in adolescents, particularly among females.

Furthermore, no study has considered potential differences in interpersonal difficulties that players with PRs may have compared to those without PRs. The present study addresses these gaps using online data from 584 video gamers (<i>M_age</i> = 24.98, <i>SD</i> = 5.70; 81.6 percent male) recruited from various Reddit gaming communities. Participants completed measures assessing interpersonal difficulties (e.g., vindictiveness, social avoidance, exploitableness, nonassertiveness), satisfaction and frustration needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness, as well as problematic video gaming (PVG) and video gaming motivations. Results did not support the relatedness frustration stereotype in that players with and without PRs did not differ in connection to others or feeling rejected in their day-to-day life. However, compared to players without PRs, players with PRs report greater interpersonal difficulties. Thus, PRs do not appear to compensate for relatedness frustration. Rather, it may be that individuals with PRs may experience interpersonal difficulties leading them to turn to PRs to fulfill social needs. Additional findings include players with PRs reporting greater hours of video gaming as well as more severe PVG and stronger fantasy gaming motives.
