目的本研究探讨了近年来(2002-2014)欺凌事件发生的跨国趋势；然后记录了2014年37个国家的青少年中网络欺凌和传统欺凌之间的重叠。方法收集2002年、2006年、2010年和2014年四个周期的学龄儿童健康行为研究数据(N=764,518)。使用Logistic回归模型对37个国家的传统受害趋势进行了评估。估计了网络受害的普遍性以及网络受害与传统受害之间的重叠。结果男童欺凌行为呈线性下降的有21个国家，女童呈线性下降趋势。网络受害的流行率系统地低于传统受害。总体而言，在所有国家中，45.8%的报告网络受害的人也报告了传统的受害(46.5%的男孩和45.3%的女孩)，但观察到国家差异很大。结论这些表明需要一个更全面的视角来干预和预防，考虑所有欺凌行为的表达，无论是传统的还是在线的。公共卫生项目和政策可以专注于更广泛地解决欺凌行为，而不是专注于发生在特定背景下的行为。
Objectives This study explores recent cross-national trends over time (2002-2014) in the occurrence of victimization by bullying; then it documents the overlap between cybervictimization and traditional bullying in 2014 among adolescents in 37 countries. Methods Data from four cycles (2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014) of the cross-national Health Behavior in School-Aged Children study were included (N = 764,518). Trends in traditional victimization were evaluated using logistic regression models in 37 countries. Prevalence of cybervictimization and the overlap between cybervictimization and traditional victimization were estimated. Results Linear decreases in bullying victimization were observed in 21 countries among boys, and in 12 countries among girls. The prevalence of cybervictimization was systematically lower than traditional victimization. Overall across all countries, 45.8% of those who reported cybervictimization also reported traditional victimization (46.5% for boys and 45.3% for girls), but wide country variations were observed. Conclusions These indicate the need for a more holistic perspective to intervention and prevention that considers all expressions of bullying, traditional or online. Public health programs and policies could focus on addressing bullying more broadly, rather than focusing on behaviors that happen in a particular context.
