dc.description.abstract | The incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Traumatized adolescents might cope with maladaptive strategies such as increased internet usage, which might be a risk for cyber victimization. We investigated the relationship between self-reported PTSD and cyber victimization and the mediator role of school belongingness in this relationship. The sample consisted of 292 adolescents ages 11-14 years old (M=12.53, SD=.71; Nfemale=165, 56.1%; Nmale=129, 43.9%). Results show that male are more likely to be cybervictims and have lower levels of school belongingness than female. Additionally, results supported the association between higher levels of PTSD and higher levels of cybervictimization. Traumatized adolescents with high levels of school belongingness are less likely to be cyber victims. These findings highlight the importance of school related personal and relational characteristics in promoting adolescent mental health. | |
