“…Although scholars have begun assessing the relationship between SNS use and experiencing cyberbullying, relatively few studies have investigated which activities within SNS pose the most risk to users (that is, increase their suitability to victimization). For example, in a similar study (to the current one) conducted by Navarro and Jasinski (2012), using an SNS increased the odds of experiencing cyberbullying. However, it remained unclear which activities within SNS led to the increase in risk.…”

“…Taking into account the affect experiencing cyberbullying has on youth, it is not only important for researchers to investigate various risk factors of cybervictimization but also address why such factors are important. Previous studies have found that the utilization of SNS increases the risk of experiencing cybervictimization (for example, Reyns et al, 2011, Navarro andJasinski, 2012); however, few studies have investigated which activities within these sites pose the most risk to users and why. This study addressed that gap by utilizing RAT to frame cyberbullying within SNS and determined several factors impacted the risk of experiencing cyberbullying within this environment.…”

“…Cyberbullying continues to garner international concern among laypersons, policymakers and researchers -particularly in the wake of several suicides stemming from repeated cybervictimization (Navarro and Jasinski, 2012). Although no universal definition of cyberbullying exists, Tokunaga (2010, p. 278) has suggested the following be used by scholars to resolve current inconsistencies across the literature: 'cyberbullying is any behavior performed through electronic or digital media by individuals or groups that repeatedly communicates hostile or aggressive messages intended to inflict harm or discomfort on others'.…”

Although public awareness of cyberbullying has increased, evidence suggests the social problem has not abated. While past studies have highlighted numerous factors that affect risks of experiencing cyberbullying in general, few studies have focused on identifying risk factors within social networking sites (SNS). Moreover, even fewer studies have utilized a theoretical perspective to frame and ground findings. Therefore, using data collected as part of the Pew Internet Project, 1 and Routine Activities Theory (Cohen and Felson, 1979) as a theoretical framework, this study fills a substantial void in the literature by reviewing what activities within SNS affect the risk of experiencing cyberbullying.

“…Overall, it is suggested that active mediation strategies are more successful in the prevention of online risks as compared to restrictive mediation strategies (Ang 2015). Nevertheless, the protective effect of restrictive practices has also been shown (Lee 2012;Navarro and Jasinski 2012;Navarro et al 2013;Williams and Merten 2011). A potential explanation for the apparent dominant success of active mediation could be that this is a better strategy for knowledge acquisition as compared to restrictive mediation.…”

Parental knowledge about adolescents' activities is an identified protective factor in terms of adolescent adjustment. While research on parental knowledge has focused on adolescents' offline behavior, there is little empirical understanding of parental knowledge about adolescents' online behavior. This study investigates parental knowledge about adolescents' online activities and experiences with online risks, as well as the correlates of such knowledge. Building on former research, open communication and knowledge-generating monitoring practices are investigated as potential correlates of parental knowledge. Use is made of triadic data, relying on reports from children aged 13 to 18, mothers and fathers within the same family (N = 357 families; 54.9 % female adolescents). The results showed that parents have little knowledge about the occurrence of online risks and their children's online activities. While mothers did not have more accurate knowledge compared to fathers, they did perceive themselves to be more knowledgeable than fathers. Associations between parental knowledge and hypothesized correlates were tested by means of one-way ANOVA tests and stepwise logistic regression models. Limited evidence was found for associations with parents' accurate knowledge about the occurrence of online risks. Engagement in knowledge-generating monitoring practices was linked to mothers and fathers' self-perceived knowledge about their children's online activities. For mothers, open communication with the child was linked to self-perceived knowledge. The findings suggest that parents need to be more aware of the possibility that online risks might occur and that more research needs to be done in order to understand what parents can do to improve their accurate knowledge.

“…1 Rizična online ponašanja i aktivnosti u kojima mladi provode vrijeme u virtualnom okruženju dovodi u vezu teorija rutinskih aktivnosti (Cohen i Felson, 1979). Navedeni teorijski pristup prilagođen je virtualnom okruženju tako da se svakodnevnom upotrebom interneta, a posebice problematičnom upotrebom, povezuje češća izloženost adolescenata nasilnič-kim ponašanjima u virtualnoj sferi (Marcum, Higgins i Ricketts, 2010;Navarro i Jasinski 2012). Takvo teorijsko polazište pretpostavlja da do društveno neprihvatljivih ponašanja dolazi kada su kumulativno prisutni elementi motiviranoga "počinitelja" (osobe sklone vršenju namjernih neprihvatljivih radnji), prikladne "mete" (osobe koja je iz perspektive "počinitelja" percipirana kao ranjiva ili pogodna "žrtva") te odsutnost odrasloga skrbnika ili adekvatne zaštite koji bi eventualno spriječili takvo postupanje (npr.…”

Ovisnost o internetu i elektroničko nasilje među mladima pojave su koje, zbog razvoja tehnologije i široke dostupnosti interneta, bilježe porast. Istraživanje je provedeno s adolescentima (N = 352) u 9 slučajno odabranih srednjih škola u Republici Hrvatskoj, kako bi se ispitali odnosi između načina upotrebe interneta i rizičnih online ponašanja mladih. Upotrijebljeni su standardizirani mjerni instrumenti: Test ovisnosti o internetu (Young, 1998) i Upitnik o doživljavanju i činjenju elektroničkoga nasilja (Del Rey i sur., 2015) te pitanja o sociodemografskim obilježjima ispitanika i online aktivnostima sudionika. Rezultati pokazuju da se kod 36,2% sudionika javljaju znakovi ovisnosti o internetu, dok 50,7% učenika sudjeluje u raznim pojavnim oblicima elektroničkoga nasilja. Količina vremena provedenog na internetu u slanju instant poruka, gledanju filmova/videa, slušanju glazbe i igranju online igara korelira s ovisnosti o internetu i sa sudjelovanjem u virtualnom nasilju među mladima. Istraživanje je potvrdilo pretpostavke teorije rutinskih aktivnosti, a rezultati upućuju na to da učenici koji provode elektroničko nasilje pokazuju tendenciju rizičnoga ponašanja i u ostalim online aktivnostima. U radu je predstavljen odnos između razine ovisnosti o internetu i uključenosti u činjenje i doživljavanje elektroničkoga nasilja te su navedene smjernice za buduća istraživanja na ovom području.Ključne riječi: ovisnost o internetu, elektroničko nasilje, online aktivnosti, adolescenti Lucija Vejmelka, Pravni fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Studijski centar socijalnog rada, Nazorova 51, 10 000 Zagreb, Hrvatska.
