Emotional Profiles of Indirect and Cybervictims Indirect Bullying Internet Mobile phone
Conclusion and Discussion The emotional profiles of cybervictimitation are similar to the indirect bullying. The cyberbullying could be characterized as an indirect form of bullying (Slonje & Smith, 2008). How can we interpreted the differences found between emotional profiles in direct bullying and in the other types of bullying? Heterogeneity of behaviours included in direct bullying The face-to-face characteristic could make the emotional information in the interactions episodes more “readable”.
SUMMARY Prevalence of cyberbullying in Spanish young people is still lower than the traditional bullying (nearly half of the traditional cybervictims). Instant Messaging (Internet) and nasty call (mobile phone) are the most common form of cyber-harassment. Gender -as traditional bullying- is important, but age does not follow the traditional trends (to peak on 15 year old using mobil phone and maintenance by using the Internet). Lasting of cybervictimization is shorter than in traditional one. A high numbers of cyberaggressors remain on anonimity (specially using the Internet) An small group of students overlap, suffering all kind, traditional and cyber, victimisation.
