Bullying and victimization among Turkish adolescents: the predictive role of problematic internet use, school burnout and parental monitoring

Cumulative childhood trauma and cybervictimization among Chinese college students: Internet addiction as a mediator and roommate relationships as a moderator

“…Furthermore, Internet addiction is also thought to hinder individuals’ real-life interactions and increase interpersonal problems ( Seo et al, 2009 ); therefore, roommate relationships are likely to be directly affected by childhood trauma and Internet addiction. In addition, cumulative childhood maltreatment implies that individuals have experienced more significant levels and more types of abuse, and Internet addiction is also an extreme form of problematic Internet use ( Çevik et al, 2021 ), making the impact on cybervictimization too strong to be buffered by roommate relationships; instead, childhood trauma and cybervictimization can have an even stronger negative impact on roommate relationships, which in turn can increase the risk of cybervictimization.

Theoretical perspectives of parental influence on adolescent cyber behaviour: A bi-national Instagram-based study

“…Offspring of more indulgent parents are prone to cyberbullying involvement, as they are exposed to cyber space without supervision [ 77 ]. Past studies determine that stricter regulation of adolescents such as parents making demands [ 77 ], monitoring social media usage [ 78 ], and disciplining adolescents [ 79 ] are effective preventive measures. Parental mediation reduces adolescent online disinhibition effects leading to cyberbullying [ 80 , 81 , 82 ].…”
