Objective Few studies have tested a commonly held assumption that cyber victimization is more harmful than in-person victimization. This study examined differential longitudinal relations between in-person and cyber victimization and outcomes, including problem behaviors and distress symptoms. Possible moderation by gender and grade was also explored. Method Participants were 1,542 sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students (77% African American or Black; 21% Latino/a) who completed surveys in the fall, winter, spring, and summer. Results The two forms of victimization combined to predict increases in physical and relational aggression, cyberbullying, and delinquency, but victimization did not predict increases in distress or substance use. There were generally no differences in the strength of relations between in-person and cyber victimization for longitudinal outcomes, although there were some cross-sectional differences. Cyber victimization predicted increases in delinquency for boys but not for girls, but there were no other differences in effects across gender or grade. Conclusions Overall, there was little support for the argument that cyber victimization produces greater harm than in-person victimization. Future research examining outcomes of cyber victimization should focus on longitudinal relations, given the different patterns of outcomes in this study's cross-sectional and longitudinal findings.

青春期早期面对面和网络受害的不同纵向结果。

目标 很少有研究检验了一个普遍持有的假设，即网络受害比亲自受害更有害。这项研究检查了面对面和网络受害与结果之间的差异纵向关系，包括问题行为和痛苦症状。还探讨了按性别和年级进行的可能缓和。方法 参与者是 1,542 名六年级、七年级和八年级学生（77% 为非裔美国人或黑人；21% 为拉丁裔/a），他们在秋季、冬季、春季和夏季完成了调查。结果 这两种形式的受害相结合可以预测身体和关系攻击、网络欺凌和犯罪的增加，但受害并不能预测痛苦或物质使用的增加。尽管存在一些横截面差异，但对于纵向结果而​​言，面对面和网络受害之间的关系强度通常没有差异。网络受害预测男孩的犯罪率会增加，但女孩不会，但在性别或年级之间没有其他影响。结论 总体而言，几乎没有人支持网络受害比亲身受害产生更大伤害的论点。鉴于本研究的横断面和纵向发现的不同结果模式，未来研究网络受害结果的研究应侧重于纵向关系。但在不同性别或年级的影响上没有其他差异。结论 总体而言，几乎没有人支持网络受害比亲身受害产生更大伤害的论点。鉴于本研究的横断面和纵向发现的不同结果模式，未来研究网络受害结果的研究应侧重于纵向关系。但在不同性别或年级的影响上没有其他差异。结论 总体而言，几乎没有人支持网络受害比亲身受害产生更大伤害的论点。鉴于本研究的横断面和纵向发现的不同结果模式，未来研究网络受害结果的研究应侧重于纵向关系。
