TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Risk factors associated with cyberbullying, cybervictimization, and cyberbullying-victimization in Iran's high school students JO - Iranian journal of psychiatry A1 - Azami, Mohammad Saeed A1 - Taremian, Farhad SP - 343 EP - 352 VL - 16 IS - 3 N2 - OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at finding the risk and protective factors of cyberbullying.

METHOD : A total of 425 high school students (199 boys and 226 girls) were selected using a cluster randomized procedure. The risk and protective factors included gender, internet use, self-esteem, dark triad traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy), school bullying perpetration, school bullying victimization, interparental conflict, and school climate.

RESULTS: The results of multinomial logistic regression showed that being male, school bullying perpetration, and school bullying victimization can significantly increase the chances of being a cyberbully-victim and spending one hour or less on the internet can significantly decrease the chances of being a cyberbully-victim.

CONCLUSION: This study provides important implications for any prevention and intervention programs for cyberbullying, which must consider the roles of traditional bullying, gender differences, and internet use in cyberbullying behavior.
