Resumo(s)

The present study aims to analyze the influence of gender and cultural issues on the role overlapping of cyberbullying. For this purpose, 1340 university students (34.1% men; 65.9% women) from Brazil (44.2%) and Portugal (55.8%) participated in the study. Moderation analyses reveal a significant gender interaction in the relationship between cybervictims and cyberaggressors, as well as between cyberbystander and cyberaggressors. In addition, cybervictims and cyberbystander from Brazil presented a greater tendency to be cyberaggressors than university students from Portugal. Finally, we found that men from both countries who are cybervictims showed a greater tendency than women to be cyberaggressors. The results are discussed, and the implications of the study are presented. We conclude by highlighting the importance of knowing the cultural and gender aspects in the dynamics established in cyberbullying and especially in the overlapping of roles, since such information can be valuable in intervention programs. In addition, the need to work on cyberbullying in higher education is emphasized.
El estudio busca analizar la influencia del género y los aspectos culturales a través del país de procedencia en la superposición de roles que se da en el ciberacoso entre universitarios. Un total de 1340 estudiantes (34.1% hombres; 65.9% mujeres) de Brasil (44.2%) y Portugal (55.8%) participaron del estudio. Los análisis de moderación revelan una interacción significativa del género en la relación entre las cibervíctimas y los ciberagresores y entre los ciberobservadores y los ciberagresores. Además, las cibervíctimas y los ciberobservadores de Brasil presentaron mayor tendencia a ser ciberagresores que los universitarios de Portugal. Finalmente, se observa que los hombres que son cibervíctimas, de ambos países revelaron una tendencia mayor que las mujeres a ser ciberagresores. Se concluye subrayando la importancia de conocer los aspectos culturales y de género en la dinámica que se establece en el ciberacoso y especialmente en la superposición de roles. Además, se destaca la necesidad de trabajar el ciberacoso en la educación superior.
