Cyber-Mobbing: Eine Bestandsaufnahme

Published Online:May 29, 2013https://doi.org/10.1026/0942-5403/a000111

Abstract

Die Nutzung der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie (IKT) hat der Menschheit nicht nur Vorteile gebracht. Ein Nachteil liegt in der Entstehung und der Zunahme von Cyber-Mobbing. Diese besondere Form des Mobbings hat Auswirkungen auf Kinder und Jugendliche aller Altersstufen, Eltern und Lehrkräfte und stellt eine zunehmende Herausforderung für Schulen dar. Dieser Artikel bietet einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung in Bezug auf die Prävalenz und Formen des Cyber-Mobbings, die psychosozialen Korrelate bei Opfern, Tätern und Täter-Opfern sowie Auswirkungen auf Täter und Opfer. Mögliche Wege für Präventionsmaßnahmen und Implikationen für die zukünftige Forschung werden aufgezeigt.


Cyberbullying: An inventory and examination

Utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) has not only had positive effects on humankind. One disadvantage is the development and proliferation of cyber-bullying. This special form of bullying is an increasing challenge for schools, affecting children and adolescents of all ages, their parents, and educators. This article is an overview of the current state of research on the prevalence and forms of cyber-bullying. Possible psychosocial correlates in victims, bullies, and bully-victims are described, as well as implications for victims. For school practitioners, avenues for prevention approaches are explored and implications for future research are discussed.
