Background

Very few studies explicitly investigate the prevalence, similarities, and differences among adolescents who experience one or both types of bullying victimization.

Objective

The exploratory study aims to illustrate patterns of concurrence of traditional bullying and cyberbullying victimization and identify similarities and differences of traditional victims, cyber victims, and traditional-cyber victims within the social-ecological theoretical framework.

Method

Multinomial logistic regressions were constructed employing the data from the 2013 National Crime Victimization Survey School Crime Supplement with a nationally representative sample of adolescents aged 12 to 18 who were selected through a stratified multistage cluster sample of households across the United States.

Results

Traditional victims were the most prevalent type of victims followed by traditional-cyber victims and finally cyber victims. The relationships between social-ecological contexts and bullying victimization were relied on whether bullying victimization was offline, online, or both. There were shared and unique predictors observed that distinguished between traditional victims, cyber victims, and traditional-cyber victims.

Conclusions

Findings suggest the social-ecological theory may not work similarly for explaining different forms of bullying victimization. It may be beneficial to the development of intervention programs that consider both universal and unique strategies targeted specifically for youth who are victimized by traditional bullying, cyberbullying, or both.

传统受害者，网络受害者，传统网络受害者和未参与青少年的比较：一种社会生态学框架

背景

很少有研究明确调查遭受一种或两种欺凌行为的青少年的患病率，相似性和差异性。

目的

这项探索性研究旨在说明传统欺凌和网络欺凌受害的并发模式，并在社会生态理论框架内确定传统受害者，网络受害者和传统网络受害者的异同。

方法

多项逻辑回归使用2013年《国家犯罪受害者调查学校犯罪补编》中的数据进行构建，该数据具有全国代表性的12至18岁青少年样本，这些样本是通过对美国家庭进行分层多阶段聚类抽样而选出的。

结果

传统受害者是最普遍的受害者，其次是传统网络受害者，最后是网络受害者。社会生态环境与欺凌受害之间的关系取决于欺凌受害是离线，在线还是两者兼有。共有共享且独特的预测变量，它们将传统受害者，网络受害者和传统网络受害者区分开来。

结论

研究结果表明，社会生态学理论可能无法以同样的方式解释欺凌受害者的不同形式。这可能有利于制定干预计划，该计划应考虑专门针对受传统欺凌，网络欺凌或二者兼而有之的年轻人的普遍和独特策略。
