尽管传统形式的欺凌和网络欺凌的受害者身份之间存在重大重叠，以及关于网络欺凌的自我报告原因的定性结果，但尚未系统地审查报复和报复作为从事网络欺凌行为的动机的作用。作为第一步，这项研究调查了当传统受害者成为网络欺凌者时，他们是否以及在多大程度上实际上选择了他们以前的(传统)肇事者作为他们自己网络欺凌行为的目标。此外，还考察了相关特征的个体差异对网络受害者选择的影响，如复仇心和正义敏感性。通过一项在线调查收集了473名学生的数据。在这些人中，149人被确认为传统受害者/网络欺凌者。结果显示，传统上被欺负的学生确实倾向于选择以前的肇事者作为网络受害者，而个体差异在选择受害者方面起到了一定作用。讨论了对进一步研究以及干预和预防方案的影响。
Despite significant overlaps between victim status in traditional forms of bullying and cyberbullying, and qualitative results about self-reported reasons for cyberbullying, the role of revenge and retaliation as a motive to engage in acts of cyberbullying has not yet been examined systematically. As a first step, this study investigates whether and to what extent traditional victims, when they become cyberbullies, actually choose their former (traditional) perpetrators as targets of their own cyberbullying behavior. Furthermore, the impact of individual differences in relevant traits, such as vengefulness and justice sensitivity, on the choice of cybervictims is examined. Data from 473 students were collected via an online survey. Of these, 149 were identified as traditional victims/cyberbullies. Results show that traditionally bullied students indeed tend to choose their former perpetrators as cybervictims, and that individual differences play a role in the choice of their victims. Implications for further research, as well as for interventions and prevention programmes, are discussed.
