Childhood emotional trauma and cyberbullying perpetration among emerging adults: a multiple mediation model of the role of problematic social media use and psychopathology
Research suggests that a small minority of social media users experience problems as a result of their online use. The purpose of the present study was to examine the association of cyberbullying perpetration and problematic social media use with childhood emotional trauma, Cluster B (narcissistic, histrionic, antisocial, and borderline) personality traits, dissociative experiences (DEs), depression, and self-esteem in a nonclinical undergraduate sample. A total of 344 university students volunteered to complete a questionnaire that included measures on the aforementioned dimensions. Thirty-eight percent of the participants had emotional neglect and 27% had emotional abuse, while 44% of them demonstrated at least one cyberbullying perpetration behavior. Results indicated that cyberbullying perpetrators had higher scores on problematic social media use, dissociative experiences, Cluster B traits, depression and childhood emotional trauma, and lower on self-esteem. Path analysis demonstrated that, while adjusting for gender and age, childhood emotional trauma was directly and indirectly associated with cyberbullying perpetration via Cluster B traits. Moreover, depression and dissociation were directly associated with problematic social media use. The findings of this study emphasize the important direct role of childhood emotional trauma and pathological personality traits on cyberbullying perpetration
O trabalho interdisciplinar no contexto da exclusão
O presente artigo apresenta um programa de intervenção psico-educativo e sócio-cultural com crianças e adolescentes em situação de risco. Discute-se um modelo de atendimento em rede, através da compreensão interdisciplinar que propõe atuação em diferentes níveis: atendimentos clínicos, oficinas psico-educativas e de teatro. Percebe-se ainda que a instituição, enquanto conjunto de regras, a equipe de profissionais, enquanto figuras modelares, o grupo, enquanto oportunidade de pertencimento, possibilitam a inscrição do adolescente em um processo de trocas intersubjetivas, promovendo regulação de novas relações e possibilidades de resgate e apropriação de sua história subjetiva
