Online hate speech has become a widespread problem in the daily life of adolescents. Despite growing societal and academic interest in this online risk, not much is known about the relationship between online hate speech victimization (OHSV) and adolescents' mental well-being. In addition, potential factors influencing the magnitude of this relationship remain unclear. To address these gaps in the literature, this study investigated the relationship between OHSV and depressive symptoms and the buffering effects of resilience in this relationship. The sample consists of 1,632 adolescents (49.1% girls) between 12 and 18 years old (M_age = 13.83, SD_age = 1.23), recruited from nine schools across Spain. Self-report questionnaires were administered to assess OHSV, depressive symptoms, and resilience. Regression analyses revealed that OHSV was positively linked to depressive symptoms. In addition, victims of online hate speech were less likely to report depressive symptoms when they reported average or high levels of resilience (i.e., social competence, personal competence, structured style, social resources, and family cohesion) compared with those with low levels of resilience. Our findings highlight the need for the development of intervention programs and the relevance of focusing on internal and external developmental assets to mitigate negative outcomes for victims of online hate speech.

青少年在线仇恨言论受害和抑郁症状：复原力的保护作用

网络仇恨言论已成为青少年日常生活中普遍存在的问题。尽管社会和学术界对这种在线风险越来越感兴趣，但人们对在线仇恨言论受害 (OHSV) 与青少年心理健康之间的关系知之甚少。此外，影响这种关系大小的潜在因素仍不清楚。为了解决文献中的这些空白，本研究调查了 OHSV 与抑郁症状之间的关系以及恢复力在这种关系中的缓冲作用。样本包括 12 至 18 岁的 1,632 名青少年（49.1% 的女孩）（M_年龄 = 13.83，SD_年龄 = 1.23），从西班牙的九所学校招募。进行自我报告问卷以评估 OHSV、抑郁症状和复原力。回归分析显示 OHSV 与抑郁症状呈正相关。此外，当在线仇恨言论的受害者报告平均或高水平的复原力（即社交能力、个人能力、结构化风格、社会资源和家庭凝聚力）时，与低水平的受害者相比，他们不太可能报告抑郁症状。弹力。我们的研究结果强调了制定干预计划的必要性以及关注内部和外部发展资产以减轻在线仇恨言论受害者的负面结果的相关性。
