Observational study finds cybervictimization predicts cyberbullying in adolescents, suggesting the need for better parental controls.
These findings suggest that cybervictimization predicts subsequent cyberbullying in adolescence, particularly among adolescents with high Dark Triad traits. Parental psychological control appears to exacerbate the link between cybervictimization and later cyberbullying primarily when adolescents also report high Dark Triad traits. This pattern was more evident when predicting differences in the frequency of cyberbullying than when predicting whether adolescents engaged in any cyberbullying at all.
