虽然大多数年轻人在网上相对有弹性，但少数弱势群体报告说，他们在网上生活中面临多重伤害的风险。假设脆弱的年轻人可能会经历不同的在线风险，这项研究探讨了离线脆弱是否可以预测高风险的在线体验（HROE）。离线漏洞被归类为家庭，身体，SEN，沟通和心理健康困难，而HROE被归类为与内容，行为，联系和网络诈骗（4C）相关的风险。使用2988名年轻人（年龄在10- 16岁之间）的样本，多元线性回归显示，在任何群体中处于弱势都可以显著预测HROE的总体得分较高。此外，统计分析表明，4C中的每一个都可以用不同的漏洞来解释。此外，经历一个高风险类别预测了某些其他风险类别的经验。参考以前的研究结果进行解释，这项研究发出了一个强有力的信息，为实践：离线脆弱性延伸到在线生活和增强，有针对性的在线安全教育和支持是必要的。
While the majority of young people are relatively resilient online, a vulnerable minority report an online life in which they are at risk of multiple harms. With the assumption that vulnerable young people are likely to experience online risks differently, this study examines whether or not being vulnerable offline predicts high risk online experiences (HROEs). Offline vulnerabilities were grouped as Family, Physical, SEN, Communication and Mental Health difficulties, while HROEs were categorized as risks associated with Content, Conduct, Contact, and Cyberscams (4Cs). Using a sample of 2988 young people (aged 10-16years), multiple linear regression showed that being vulnerable in any group significantly predicted a higher overall score for HROEs. Additionally, statistical analysis showed that individually each of the 4Cs can be explained by different vulnerabilities. Furthermore, experiencing one of the high risk categories predicted the experience of certain other risk categories. The results are explained with reference to previous research and this study sends a strong message for practice: offline vulnerability extends to online life and enhanced, targeted online safety education and support is required.
