过去十年，网络欺凌已成为在线交流背景下的一种新的反社会行为形式。本研究调查了网络欺凌的潜在纵向风险因素。共有 835 名瑞士七年级学生参加了一项短期纵向研究（两次评估相隔 6 个月）。学生报告了网络欺凌、传统欺凌、违反规则行为、网络受害、传统受害和在线交流频率（人际特征）的频率。此外，我们还评估了道德脱离、移情关注和整体自尊（个人特征）。结果表明，传统欺凌、违反规则行为和在线交流频率是欺凌者参与网络欺凌的纵向风险因素。因此，网络欺凌与现实世界的反社会行为密切相关。频繁的在线交流可能被视为增加参与网络欺凌可能性的暴露因素。相比之下，与反社会行为和在线交流频率相比，受害经历和内心特征并未增加网络欺凌的纵向风险。讨论了研究结果对预防网络欺凌的影响。版权所有 (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Cyberbullying has emerged as a new form of antisocial behaviour in the context of online communication over the last decade. The present study investigates potential longitudinal risk factors for cyberbullying. A total of 835 Swiss seventh graders participated in a short-term longitudinal study (two assessments 6 months apart). Students reported on the frequency of cyberbullying, traditional bullying, rule-breaking behaviour, cybervictimisation, traditional victimisation, and frequency of online communication (interpersonal characteristics). In addition, we assessed moral disengagement, empathic concern, and global self-esteem (intrapersonal characteristics). Results showed that traditional bullying, rule-breaking behaviour, and frequency of online communication are longitudinal risk factors for involvement in cyberbullying as a bully. Thus, cyberbullying is strongly linked to real-world antisocial behaviours. Frequent online communication may be seen as an exposure factor that increases the likelihood of engaging in cyberbullying. In contrast, experiences of victimisation and intrapersonal characteristics were not found to increase the longitudinal risk for cyberbullying over and above antisocial behaviour and frequency of online communication. Implications of the findings for the prevention of cyberbullying are discussed. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
