“…In addition, suicidal ideation was positively associated with cyberbullying victimization in the past 12 months in this study which supported a similar association found in the studies conducted among cyberbullied victims in the United States, France, Hong Kong and several other countries [33,34,52,53]. These studies also observed that cyberbullying victimization is much more likely to be positively associated with suicidal ideation compared to traditional bullying or cyberbullying perpetration alone [33,34,52,53].…”

Background Cyberbullying is a global public health concern with tremendous negative impacts, not only on the physical and mental health of students but also on their well-being and academic performance. However, there are very few studies on cyberbullying among university students, especially in Myanmar. This study aims to determine the percentage of university students who suffered cyberbullying victimization in the last 12 months, and the association between students' socio-demographic characteristics, adverse events following cyberbullying and cyberbullying victimization.

“…Beyond the main effects, our findings suggest new potential ways in which CSE may, in combination with psychosocial factors such as having received cyberbullying actions, contribute in the prediction of problematic use of technology. Educators and clinicians may also seek to assess and explore for deficits in coping resources among adolescents with problematic use of technology, as this situation may contribute to cyber victimization and, subsequently, to more serious socio-emotional consequences (i.e., suicidal ideation, [25,26]).…”

“…A bulk of the research provides evidence about the important negative impact on adolescents' psychological adjustment and well-being among those who suffer or have suffered cyber victimization. Among the negative consequences, previous studies have found lower levels of life satisfaction and self-concept; more depressive symptoms [23,24]; higher levels of social anxiety, stress, and loneliness [24]; and higher suicide risk [25,26]. Moreover, suffering from cyber victimization is related to an increased likelihood of engaging in problem behaviors such as substance use, gambling or problematic Internet, smartphone, and social media use (e.g., [21,[27][28][29]).…”

Research has demonstrated that cyber victimization is consistently associated with higher problem behaviors such as problematic technology use. However, little research has examined specific individual dispositions that can serve as a buffer in the link between cyber victimization and higher problematic uses of technology (i.e., problematic Internet, smartphone, and social media), such as core self-evaluations (CSE). A convenience sample of 1211 high school students, 657 females, 554 males, aged 12 to 18 (mean age = 13.74) completed measures of cyber victimization, CSE, and different problematic technology-related behaviors. Results of correlational analysis revealed significant associations between cyber victimization and all problematic uses of technology. Our findings also suggested that high CSE weakened the relationship between cyber victimization and two of the three problematic uses of technology. Consistent with social compensation theory, cyber victimization was concurrently linked to different problematic uses of technology. Low CSE also strengthened the link between cyber victimization and problems use of smartphones and social media and also showed a marginally significant interaction with cyber victimization in predicting problematic Internet use. Implications of these preliminary findings are discussed and avenues for further research are offered.

“…Similarly, about 15% of teenagers reported being victims of cyberbullying in countries such as France, England, and Spain [3][4][5]. Among the Chinese population, the prevalence of cyber victimization has been reported as 18.4 and 11.9% among adolescents from Taiwan and Hong Kong, respectively [6,7]. However, a recent study, conducted in ShenZhen Guangdong, China, showed a lower prevalence (8.7%) of cyber victimization among middle-school students [8].…”

Background: The potential mechanisms underlying cyber victimization and the resulting psychological and physical symptoms remain unclear. Thus, the present study investigated whether Internet addiction mediates the association between peer victimization (e.g., cyberbullying) and psychological and physical symptoms. Furthermore, it was assessed whether physical exercise moderates the hypothetical mediation. Methods: 1854 students from 11 middle and high schools in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, were sampled for this study. Psychological and physical symptoms were assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF, while Internet addiction was evaluated using the Internet addiction test by Young. Cyber victimization was measured using a single question. In addition, this study examined whether Internet addiction mediated the association between cyber victimization and both psychological and physical symptoms. Additional work was conducted to test if physical exercise played a moderating role in the mediation hypothesized above. Mediation and moderation were analyzed using PROCESS macro for SPSS. Results: Regression analysis showed that both cyber victimization (β = − 0.102, p < 0.05) and Internet addiction (β = − 0.278, p < 0.05) significantly predicted psychological and physical symptoms and demographic variables were controlled. Further mediation analysis suggested that Internet addiction mediated the relationship between cyber victimization and psychological and physical symptoms. The 95% CI (confidence interval) of the direct effect was (− 4.283, − 1.696) and the indirect effect (− 1.904, − 0.820), respectively, excluding zero. Finally, moderation analysis indicated that physical exercise moderated the relationship between Internet addiction and psychological and physical symptoms (p = 0.047). Conclusions: Internet addiction plays a mediating role in the association between cyber victimization and both psychological and physical symptoms, Thus, addressing Internet addiction among cyberbullying victims is worthwhile. Furthermore, physical exercise alleviates negative impacts on health and should thus be promoted.
