Overview

Longitudinal trial identifies psychosocial profiles related to early cyberbullying involvement, suggesting targeted prevention strategies.

Key Points

  • The study aimed to identify psychosocial profiles during adolescence and explore their association with earlier cyberbullying involvement.
  • Data analyzed from the Australian Longitudinal Adolescent Brain Study (N=86).
  • Ward's hierarchical cluster analysis identified psychosocial profiles using multiple psychological measures.
  • Generalized additive mixed models examined longitudinal changes across profiles in relation to cyberbullying.
  • Three profiles identified: flourishing, broad impairment, and appearance-specific.
  • Early cyberbullying involvement linked to broad impairment but not to appearance-specific profiles.
  • Eating disorder symptoms were notably prevalent in the appearance-specific profile and absent in the flourishing profile.
