The potential role of subjective wellbeing and gender in the relationship between bullying or cyberbullying and suicidal ideation
2018
Abstract Bullying and cyberbullying are common problems all over the world. One of their consequences can be suicidal ideation. A better understanding of the mechanisms that link them to suicidal ideation is needed in order to develop effective prevention and intervention initiatives. Subjective wellbeing is a potential mechanism that has not been studied within this framework. The present study examined whether subjective wellbeing could serve as a mediator or moderator of the relationship between bullying or cyberbullying and suicidal ideation, and whether these relationships were moderated by gender. Participants were 1664 students aged 14–19 (M = 16.12; SD = 1.36), 53% female, from 34 s…

Ajuste psicosocial en adolescentes víctimas de cyberbullying
2017
1. INTRODUCCIÓN Los enormes y continuos avances de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TICs) han contribuido al desarrollo de nuevas formas de comunicación e interrelación social en la sociedad actual (Buelga y Chóliz, 2013). Pese a estas ventajas, han surgido nuevos problemas en la red como consecuencia del mal uso que algunos niños y adolescentes hacen de la TICs (Durán y Martínez, 2015; Ortega-Barón, Buelga y Cava, 2016; Rice et al., 2015). En este sentido, destaca el cyberbullying (CB), que ha sido definido como una “una conducta agresiva e in¬tencional que se repite de forma frecuente en el tiempo mediante el uso, por un indi¬viduo o grupo, de dispositivos electrón…
The Influence of School Climate and Family Climate among Adolescents Victims of Cyberbullying
2016
El ciberacoso es un fenómeno de creciente preocupación social que afecta cada vez más a niños y adolescentes de todos los paí- ses desarrollados. A diferencia de la considerable literatura que hay sobre las relaciones entre el acoso escolar y el contexto familiar y escolar, todavía hay pocos trabajos sobre la influencia de estos entornos sociales en el problema del ciberacoso. Mediante una metodología cuantitativa, el objetivo principal del presente estudio fue analizar la influencia del contexto escolar y familiar en víctimas de ciberacoso. La muestra estuvo formada por 1.062 adolescentes (51,5% chicos y 48,5% chicas), de edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 18 años (M=14,5; DT=1,62). Se…
Affrontare il cyberbullismo in classe. Comprendere e riconoscere gli effetti collaterali dei social network
2018
Il cyberbullismo rappresenta un fenomeno complesso che si manifesta con modalità articolate. Le difficoltà più evidenti sono: la possibilità, da parte dell'aggressore di rimanere anonimo; la numerosità degli spettatori; l'assenza di supervisione da parte degli adulti; il distacco tra gesto e significato attribuito. Tale fenomeno implica la necessità di promuovere un'educazione digitale e affettivo-relazionale attraverso attività educative capaci di prevenire i numerosi e complessi pericoli della rete. Fondamentale, ancora, risulta educare al rispetto della reciprocità, delle norme sociali, dell'intenzionalità del Noi, così da favorire un sano sviluppo psicosociale della persona inserita - o…
Cyberbullying & Company. From Myths to Empirical Evidence
2015
Cyberbullying and other online risks have been given lately growing attention by popular media, policy makers, academics, parents and educators. Beyond any deterministic views of technology and its impact on individuals (particularly children) as well as beyond the mythological views and moral panic that often dominate public discourses about children and digital technologies, this chapter argues for a more evidence-based and multidimensional/contextual approach that locates cyberbullying within the complex network of children’s online activities, socio-demographic variables, parental, peer’s and teachers’ mediation, ICT country-specific regulation, educational systems, etc. Drawing from th…
