Cyberbullying has become an important public health issue due to documented associations among victimization, perpetration, and greater likelihood of depression, substance abuse, anxiety, insomnia, and school-related problems for adolescents. Less is known, however, about how youth cope with cyberbullying and the types of services and supports they are likely to use based on relevant socioeconomic, demographic and geographic factors. The objective of this project was to determine whether gender and geography, in combination with mental health and socioeconomic status, predicted cyberbullying victimization, perpetration, and patterns of coping and help seeking in a sample of youth aged 16 to 19 years (N = 289). An anonymous online survey was used to gather information on cyberbullying victimization, perpetration, and methods for coping from youth from New Brunswick, Canada. The results of this study suggest that the likelihood of becoming a cyberbullying victim or perpetrator, as well as the coping modalities used to respond to bullying, are highly gendered and intersect with existing social and health inequities. Interventions aimed at bolstering resiliency should be developed in the context of the urban and rural school environments where coping skills are developed and refined.

青少年网络欺凌，犯罪和应对方式的性别和地理预测因素

网络欺凌已成为重要的公共卫生问题，原因是受害，犯罪和青少年抑郁症，药物滥用，焦虑，失眠和与学校相关的问题之间的关联性有据可查。然而，关于青年如何应对网络欺凌以及他们根据相关的社会经济，人口和地理因素可能使用的服务和支持类型的了解却很少。该项目的目的是确定性别和地理位置，以及心理健康和社会经济状况，预测的网络欺凌受害者，作案方式和应对方式，并帮助16岁至19岁的年轻人寻找样本（N = 289） 。一项匿名的在线调查被用于收集有关网络欺凌受害者，犯罪，以及来自加拿大新不伦瑞克省的年轻人的应对方法。这项研究的结果表明，成为网络欺凌受害者或犯罪者的可能性以及应对欺凌行为的应对方式具有高度的性别特征，并与现有的社会和健康不平等现象相交。应在发展和完善应对技巧的城市和乡村学校环境中发展旨在增强适应力的干预措施。
