Cyber-bullying is asignificant problem for children today. This study provides evidence of the psychological impact of cyber-bullying among victimized children ages 10 to 17 years (M = 12.48, SD = 1.79) from 23 urban schools in a western province of Canada (N = 239). Students who were cyber-bullied reported high levels of anxious, externalizing, and depressed feelings/behaviours for all types of cyber-bullying they experienced, with girls reporting more severe impact than boys. Strategies are discussed for school counsellors working with youth who have been victimized through electronic means.Cyber-intimidation est un problème important pour les enfants d’aujourd’ hui.

Do children who bully their peers also play violent video games? A Canadian national study

This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in the Journal of School Violence in 2013, available at http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15388220.2013.803244.The study examined whether children who bully others are likely to prefer playing video games that are rated high in maturity and violence. A stratified random sample of Canadian children ages 10 to 17 years from the provinces of Canada was obtained. Parents (n = 397) and their children (n = 492) completed an online survey of children’s bullying behaviors and their three favorite video games. Ordinal logistic regression analyses showed that parents’ and children’s reports of child preferences for mature and violent video games were significantly related to children’s perpetration of bullying and cyberbullying. Panel regression analyses revealed no significant difference between parent and child informants. Children who play highly violent and mature video games were likely to bully and cyberbully their peers, according to both parent and child reports.Standard Research Grant #410-2007-0671 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada supported this research
