ABSTRACT

Cyberbullying victimization is a key risk factor facing contemporary young men. Parental internet supervision is thought to be effective in mitigating these risks in mixed-gender samples, but the efficacy of internet supervision for young men specifically is unclear. This study examined the effects of internet supervision upon cybervictimisation among adolescent boys in an all-boys school (Mage = 13.44), moderated by internet use and availability of internet-enabled devices in the home. Both active and restrictive forms of supervision were conditionally related to increased cybervictimisation, suggesting that the efficacy of internet supervision may be highly sensitive to contextual factors.

摘要

网络欺凌受害是当代年轻人面临的一个关键风险因素。父母的互联网监督被认为可有效降低混合性别样本中的这些风险，但互联网监督对年轻男性的具体效果尚不清楚。本研究调查了互联网监督对一所男校 (Mage = 13.44) 青春期男孩的网络受害的影响，受互联网使用和家中支持互联网的设备的影响。主动和限制形式的监督都与网络受害的增加有条件相关，这表明互联网监督的有效性可能对环境因素高度敏感。
