CABRAL, Flávia; FERNANDES, Otília M. y RELVA, Inês C.. Cybervictimization and Social Support Perceived by Adolescents and Young Adults. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.3, 6. Epub 05-Jul-2023. ISSN 1794-4724. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/apl/a.10914.
The present study aimed to analyse the relationship between cybervictimization (measured trough the Cy-bervictimization Questionnaire, CYVIC) and satisfaction with social support (Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social, Esss). The sample consisted of 346 participants divided into two groups: adolescents (1519 years) and young adults (20-30years). There were negative associations between satisfaction with social support and cybervictimization. The results also suggest differences in terms of age for the two dependent variables, with adolescents showing greater satisfaction with the family than young adults and these being more satisfied with social activities than adolescents, and the younger participants being more involved in cybervictimization than the older ones. Finally, there was a predictive role of satisfaction with social activities on cybervictimization. Thus, this study contributes to the little Brazilian literature about the relationship between cyberbullying and social support, highlighting the importance of social relationships and, especially, involvement in social activities; there is a clear need to integrate young people into the community and society and give them the opportunity to engage in satisfactory activities and relationships as a way of preventing maladjusted behaviour, such as cyberbullying.
