TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Cyberbullying prevalence, stability, and risk factors during adolescence JO - Canadian journal of school psychology A1 - Cappadocia, M. Catherine A1 - Craig, Wendy M. A1 - Pepler, Debra SP - 171 EP - 192 VL - 28 IS - 2 N2 - Although research on cyberbullying has recently begun to emerge, few researchers have used longitudinal data to explore this phenomenon in Canada. Using 1-year longitudinal data from the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children Study conducted by the World Health Organization, we investigated the prevalence and stability and risk factors associated with cyberbullying, cybervictimization, and simultaneous cyberbullying and cybervictimization among 1,972 adolescents. Risk factors associated with cyberbullying included higher levels of antisocial behaviors and fewer prosocial peer influences. Risk factors associated with cybervictimization included being in the transition year for high school, as well as higher levels of traditional victimization and depression. Higher levels of traditional victimization were also associated with simultaneous cyberbullying and cybervictimization. Gender differences and implications of the findings are discussed.
