Bullying through online medium has afflicted many adolescents to cause severe mental health concerns, including self-harm and suicide. The aims of this study are to examine the prevalence of cyberbullying in Singapore adolescents, its associations with psychosocial difficulties, and how do the adolescents seek help after being cybervictimized. A representative sample of 3,319 school students aged between 12 and 17 years responded to a survey with scales measuring cyberbullying, psychosocial difficulties, and help-seeking behaviors. In the present study, 7.3 percent of adolescents reported being cybervictims only, 1.8 percent were cyberbullies only, and 4.8 percent were cyberbully-victims. Compared with the non-involved group, both cybervictim and cyberbully-victim groups were associated with more internalizing problems, but all the three cyberbullying-involved groups were associated with higher externalizing problems. Approximately half of the cybervictimized participants reported that they have sought help, with most of them (81.7 percent) choosing to tell their friends. Our findings are consistent with previous overseas studies showing increased associations of psychosocial difficulties among adolescents who are involved in cyberbullying. Public awareness of the consequences of unhealthy cyber-usage could be raised to aid in the early detection of cyberbullying among school children and adolescents. Moreover, cyberwellness programs should be considered as a component of larger anti-bullying programs in schools and in the community.

参与网络欺凌的新加坡青少年的社会心理困难和求助行为

通过网络媒体的欺凌已经折磨了许多青少年,导致严重的心理健康问题,包括自残和自杀。本研究的目的是检查新加坡青少年网络欺凌的普遍性、其与社会心理困难的关联,以及青少年在受到网络欺凌后如何寻求帮助。3,319 名 12 至 17 岁在校学生的代表性样本对一项调查做出了回应,该调查采用衡量网络欺凌、社会心理困难和求助行为的量表。在本研究中,7.3% 的青少年报告仅是网络受害者,1.8% 仅是网络欺凌者,4.8% 是网络欺凌者。与未参与的群体相比,网络受害者和网络欺凌受害者群体都与更多的内化问题相关,但所有三个涉及网络欺凌的群体都与更高的外部化问题有关。大约一半的网络受害参与者表示他们曾寻求帮助,其中大多数 (81.7%) 选择告诉他们的朋友。我们的研究结果与之前的海外研究一致,表明参与网络欺凌的青少年心理社会困难的关联增加。可以提高公众对不健康网络使用后果的认识,以帮助及早发现学龄儿童和青少年中的网络欺凌。此外,网络健康计划应被视为学校和社区中更大的反欺凌计划的组成部分。大约一半的网络受害参与者表示他们曾寻求帮助,其中大多数 (81.7%) 选择告诉他们的朋友。我们的研究结果与之前的海外研究一致,表明参与网络欺凌的青少年心理社会困难的关联增加。可以提高公众对不健康网络使用后果的认识,以帮助及早发现学龄儿童和青少年中的网络欺凌。此外,网络健康计划应被视为学校和社区中更大的反欺凌计划的组成部分。大约一半的网络受害参与者表示他们曾寻求帮助,其中大多数 (81.7%) 选择告诉他们的朋友。我们的研究结果与之前的海外研究一致,表明参与网络欺凌的青少年心理社会困难的关联增加。可以提高公众对不健康网络使用后果的认识,以帮助及早发现学龄儿童和青少年中的网络欺凌。此外,网络健康计划应被视为学校和社区中更大的反欺凌计划的组成部分。我们的研究结果与之前的海外研究一致,表明参与网络欺凌的青少年心理社会困难的关联增加。可以提高公众对不健康网络使用后果的认识,以帮助及早发现学龄儿童和青少年中的网络欺凌。此外,网络健康计划应被视为学校和社区中更大的反欺凌计划的组成部分。我们的研究结果与之前的海外研究一致,表明参与网络欺凌的青少年心理社会困难的关联增加。可以提高公众对不健康网络使用后果的认识,以帮助及早发现学龄儿童和青少年中的网络欺凌。此外,网络健康计划应被视为学校和社区中更大的反欺凌计划的组成部分。
