Cyber-harassment victimization in Portugal: Prevalence, fear and help-seeking among adolescents

Fear of Cybercrime. An Experimental Study on the Mismatches between Self-Reported and Physiological Measures in a Simulated Cyberattack Environment

“…For example, from the perspective of social cybercrime, Alshalan's early work (2006), and later Henson, Reyns & Fisher (2013) or Randa (2013), found that previous experiences of online interaction in which harassment, sexual solicitation, intimidation or threats of violence have been mediated are good predictors of perceived levels of risk of future social cyber-victimization.

There is some research done on adult samples, however, that can offer a general estimate of online sexual harassment victimization and perpetration amongst adults.…”

Jóvenes, participación y medios de comunicación digitales en América Latina

“…Los jóvenes usuarios de Internet utilizan las redes sociodigitales para diferentes fines, pero desde su aparición se ha visto que la comunicación digital favorece la conversación y la socialización (Pereira, Spitzberg y Matos, 2016;Watts, 2007), para los jóvenes son herramientas que los acercan a sus pares, pues ellos sienten que pertenecen a un grupo afín (Serapio, 2006).…”
