          Abstract

          Background/Objective: The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among cybervictimization, maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and somatic complaints in a 4-month follow-up study. Method: A total of 1,024 high school students (456 male and 568 female, M ( SD) = 13.69 years (1.3 years), range 12–18 years, voluntarily participated in this study. Measures of cybervictimization and cognitive strategies were obtained at Time 1. Four months later (Time 2), measures of somatic complaints were obtained. Results: Multiple mediation analyses were conducted to determine the mediating roles of maladaptive strategies in the link between cybervictimization and somatic complaints. As expected, path-analytic results showed that cybervictimization predicted somatic symptoms. Furthermore, some maladaptive regulation strategies, namely self-blame and rumination, partially mediated the link between cybervictimization and somatic symptoms evaluated 4-months later. Conclusions: The findings are discussed in terms of the role that maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies might play with regards to physical health in cyberbullying episodes. In general, these findings have important implications for developing an understanding about the affective determinants of somatic health problem initiation and maintenance after a victimization and for developing intervention programs specifically for cybervictimized adolescents.

          Resumen

          Antecedentes/Objetivo: El objetivo fue examinar la relación entre cibervictimización, estrategias de regulación cognitiva emocional desadaptativas y quejas somáticas en un estudio prospectivo a cuatro meses. Método: Un total de 1.024 estudiantes de Instituto (456 varones y 568 mujeres, M (SD) = 13,69 años (1,3) de 12 a 18 años de edad participaron voluntariamente. En el Tiempo 1, se pasaron los cuestionarios de cibervictimización y estrategias de regulación cognitivo emocional. Cuatro meses después (Tiempo 2), se obtuvo una medida de quejas somáticas. Resultados: Se realizaron análisis de mediación múltiple para determinar el papel mediador de las estrategias de regulación desadaptativas en la relación entre cibervictimización y quejas somáticas. Como se esperaba, los resultados indicaron que la cibervictimización predice las quejas somáticas y que algunas estrategias de regulación desadaptativas, autoculpa y rumiación, median parcialmente la relación entre cibervictimización y quejas somáticas evaluadas cuatro meses más tarde. Conclusiones: Se discute el papel que juegan las estrategias de regulación desadaptativas sobre la salud física en los episodios de ciberacoso. En general, estos hallazgos sugieren importantes implicaciones para una mejor comprensión de los determinantes afectivos que inciden en el inicio y mantenimiento de problemas somáticos después de una victimización, y para desarrollar programas de intervención específicamente en casos de adolescentes cibervictimizados.

              Psychological, physical, and academic correlates of cyberbullying and traditional bullying.

              To examine the relationship between children's and adolescents' experiences with cyberbullying and traditional bullying and psychological health, physical health, and academic performance. Nine hundred thirty-one students in grades 6 through 12 completed an anonymous survey examining their experiences with cyberbullying and traditional bullying. Also included were measures of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, physical well-being, school attendance, and academic performance. Participants were categorized as belonging to one of four groups: cyber victims, cyberbullies, cyber bully/victims, and those not involved in cyberbullying. A similar categorization was done with traditional bullying. Those in the bully/victim groups (and particularly the cyber bully/victim group) had the most negative scores on most measures of psychological health, physical, health, and academic performance. There appears to be a substantial, although not perfect, overlap between involvement in traditional bullying and cyberbullying. Additionally, the physical, psychological, and academic correlates of the two types of bullying resembled one another. Copyright © 2013 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine.
