Academically gifted adolescents frequently experience cyberbullying behavior. Successful intervention and prevention of such bullying is, to a large degree, dependent on such incidents being reported to an adult caregiver. However, research shows that adolescents who have experienced cyberbullying tend not to inform parents or teachers. Despite this fact, little attention has been paid to understanding the factors underlying such reporting resistance and consequently the reasons for nonreporting remain undetermined. This study explored Irish gifted adolescents’ resistance to reporting their experiences of cyberbullying behavior. Key reasons for nonreporting included the framing of decisions based on the concepts of self-efficacy, control, perceived risks, the influence of prior reporting experiences, and influence of gender and age on reporting response. The results provide insights that will assist parents, teachers, and all those involved in the formulation of anti-bullying school policies in their attempts to increase adolescent reporting and thereby counter cyberbullying behavior.

探索影响天才青少年报告网络欺凌行为经历的因素：提高理解

有学业天赋的青少年经常经历网络欺凌行为。成功干预和预防此类欺凌在很大程度上取决于向成年照顾者报告此类事件。然而，研究表明，经历过网络欺凌的青少年往往不会通知父母或老师。尽管如此，人们很少关注了解这种报告阻力的潜在因素，因此未报告的原因仍未确定。本研究探讨了爱尔兰天才青少年对报告网络欺凌行为经历的抵制。不报告的主要原因包括基于自我效能、控制、感知风险、先前报告经验的影响、以及性别和年龄对报告反应的影响。结果提供的见解将有助于家长、教师和所有参与制定反欺凌学校政策的人，努力增加青少年报告，从而打击网络欺凌行为。
