目的：电子通信技术为儿童和青少年提供了相互欺凌的新手段。这种现象被称为电子欺凌、网络欺凌或网络社交残忍行为，包括通过电子邮件、即时通讯、在聊天室、在网站上，或者通过发送到手机的数字信息或图像进行欺凌。本研究调查了中学生电子欺凌的流行情况。
方法：美国东南部和西北部6所中小学的3767名6、7、8年级中学生完成了一份问卷，问卷包括奥尔韦斯欺凌/受欺凌问卷以及为本研究设计的23个问题，这些问题调查了参与者作为受害者和欺凌者的电子欺凌经历。
结果：在这些学生中，11%的学生表示在过去几个月中至少遭受过一次电子欺凌（仅为受害者）；7%的学生表示自己既是欺凌者又是受害者；4%的学生表示在过去几个月中至少有一次对他人进行过电子欺凌（仅为欺凌者）。电子欺凌最常见的方式（受害者和欺凌者均有报告）包括使用即时通讯、聊天室和电子邮件。重要的是，近一半的电子欺凌受害者报告不知道欺凌者的身份。
结论：电子欺凌是一个非常严重的问题。由于儿童在未来几年使用电子通信技术不太可能减少，持续关注电子欺凌至关重要。本文讨论了这些发现对青少年、家长和教育工作者的影响。（2007年青少年医学协会。版权所有。）
Purpose: Electronic communications technologies are affording children and adolescents new means of bullying one another. Referred to as electronic bullying, cyberbullying, or online social cruelty, this phenomenon includes bullying through e-mail, instant messaging, in a chat room, on a website, or through digital messages or images sent to a cell phone. The present study examined the prevalence of electronic bullying among middle school students. Methods: A total of 3,767 middle school students in grades 6, 7, and 8 who attend six elementary and middle schools in the southeastern and northwestern United States completed a questionnaire, consisting of the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire and 23 questions developed for this study that examined participants' experiences with electronic bullying, as both victims and perpetrators. Results: Of the students, 11% that they had been electronically bullied at least once in the last couple of months (victims only); 7% indicated that they were bully/victims; and 4% had electronically bullied someone else at least once in the previous couple of months (bullies only). The most common methods for electronic bullying (as reported by both victims and perpetrators) involved the use of instant messaging, chat rooms, and e-mail. Importantly, close to half of the electronic bully victims reported not knowing the perpetrator's identity. Conclusions: Electronic bullying represents a problem of significant magnitude. As children's use of electronic communications technologies is unlikely to wane in coming years, continued attention to electronic bullying is critical. Implications of these findings for youth, parents, and educators are discussed. (D 2007 Society for Adolescent Medicine. All rights reserved.
