Meanings of cyber victimization in English

Consistent with polyvictimization theory, we hypothesized that cyber victimization and psychological IPV would be related to each other.

Exploratory analyses indicated that experiencing both cyber victimization and psychological IPV was necessary for increased depressive symptoms and antisocial behavior.

This study is the first to establish a unique relation between cyber victimization and mental health problems, after accounting for psychological IPV.

Both cyber victimization and psychological intimate partner violence (IPV) have been associated with negative mental health outcomes among adolescents and young adults.
