Summary

This 2023 study in Computers in Human Behavior examined longitudinal patterns of cyberbullying involvement among adolescents, identifying distinct trajectories of perpetration and victimisation. The research explored how different patterns of cyberbullying participation associate with psychosocial adjustment outcomes. The findings, as suggested by the title and journal focus, contribute to understanding the developmental dynamics of online peer victimisation and aggression.

UK applicability

Findings on adolescent cyberbullying trajectories and mental health outcomes are broadly applicable to UK school and youth populations, though the specific geographic context of the study (not evident from metadata) would determine direct policy relevance to UK safeguarding and digital wellbeing initiatives.

Key measures

Cyberbullying perpetration and victimisation trajectory classes; psychosocial adjustment measures (as suggested by title, likely including depression, anxiety, social adjustment, or similar constructs)

Outcomes reported

The study examined longitudinal trajectories of cyberbullying perpetration and victimisation among adolescents and their associations with psychosocial adjustment outcomes. As suggested by the title, the research likely tracked patterns of involvement in cyberbullying behaviours over time and their links to mental health and social functioning.
