网络欺凌是学龄青少年中的一个重要问题。网络欺凌在中学达到高峰，33%的中学生报告网络欺凌受害者，超过50%的中学生报告目睹网络欺凌作为旁观者。虽然网络欺凌受害和内化症状之间的关联是有据可查的，但研究目睹网络欺凌对旁观者的影响的研究有限。为了评估网络欺凌旁观者和非旁观者之间内化症状的差异，在美国的中学生（6 - 8年级）中进行了一项基于学校的横断面研究（N = 130; 57.4%女性; 42.6%男性）。问卷调查数据采用多变量协方差分析（MANCOVA）与三个结局变量（抑郁、焦虑、躯体症状）和受试者间因素旁观者状态（旁观者、非旁观者）进行分析。我们控制了目睹校园欺凌，以研究目睹网络欺凌对内化症状的独特影响。MANCOVA的结果表明网络欺凌旁观者状态的显著影响（p < 0.04）。事后分析表明，旁观者报告的抑郁（p < 0.05），焦虑（p < 0.02）和躯体症状（p < 0.01）水平显著高于非旁观者。研究结果表明，需要支持目睹网络欺凌的学生的计划，以减少与网络欺凌旁观者相关的心理健康风险。
Cyberbullying is a significant problem among school-aged youth. Cyberbullying peaks in middle school with 33% of middle school students reporting cyberbullying victimization and more than 50% reporting witnessing cyberbullying as bystanders. Although the association between cyberbullying victimization and internalizing symptoms is well documented, there is limited research examining the impact of witnessing cyberbullying on bystanders. To assess differences in internalizing symptoms between cyberbullying bystanders and non-bystanders, a school-based cross-sectional study was conducted among middle school students (6th–8th grade) in the United States (N = 130; 57.4% female; 42.6% male). Questionnaire data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of co-variance (MANCOVA) with three outcome variables (depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms) and the between-subject factor bystander status (bystander, non-bystander). We controlled for witnessing school bullying to examine the unique effect of witnessing cyberbullying on internalizing symptoms. Results of the MANCOVA indicated a significant effect for cyberbullying bystander status (p < 0.04). Post hoc analyses demonstrated that bystanders reported significantly higher levels of depression (p < 0.05), anxiety (p < 0.02), and somatic symptoms (p < 0.01) than non-bystanders. Findings suggest that programs to support students who witness cyberbullying are needed to reduce the mental health risks associated with being a cyberbullying bystander.
