TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - How do adolescents learn cyber-victimization coping skills? An examination of parent and peer coping socialization JO - Journal of youth and adolescence A1 - Bradbury, Stacey L. A1 - Dubow, Eric F. A1 - Domoff, Sarah E. SP - 1866 EP - 1879 VL - 47 IS - 9 N2 - Recently, cyber-victimization has become an ever increasing concern for adolescents. Given the negative consequences of cyber-victimization, it is important to understand how adolescents learn strategies to cope (i.e., "coping socialization") with cyber-victimization. The purpose of this study is to understand common coping strategies reported by adolescents, identify from whom youth learn cyber-victimization coping strategies (coaching), and explore how coaching is associated with adolescents' self-reported use of coping. In a sample of 329 adolescents (49% male; 70% white), we found that positive coping strategies (e.g., problem solving, seeking social support) are used most frequently, and adolescents' perceptions of both parent and peer coping socialization is associated with self-reported use of coping. Interventionists can use this information to adapt interventions to include influential positive socializers.
