Resumo(s)
This study aims to understand whether the relationships adolescent bystanders
of cyberbullying have with the victim and other bystanders and their self-efficacy
beliefs may affect their use of aggressive language online. Students (676, Mage=14.10,
SD=2.74, 55.5% male) answered questions about social media use, self-efficacy to solve
cyberbullying situations, interpersonal relationships, and their use of verbal aggression
to communicate online. Through structural equation modeling, results demonstrated
that having a relationship with the victim or other bystanders mediated the relationship
between observing cyberbullying behavior and bystanders’ use of aggressive language online. The effect of observing cyberbullying behavior through having a relationship with
the victim or other bystanders was lower than its direct effect on adolescent bystanders’
use of aggressive language. Self-efficacy beliefs mediated the relationship between having
a relationship with the victim and other bystanders and adolescents’ use of aggressive
language online. Implications for intervention in interpersonal communication online
are proposed.
