Multiple online victimization of Spanish adolescents: Results from a community sample Montiel Juan, Irene Carbonell Vayá, Enrique J. Pereda Beltran, Noemí Internet Víctimes Adolescents Joves internautes Espanya Internet Victims Teenagers Internet and teenagers Spain Little is known about online victimization of Spanish adolescents. The present study aims to determine the past-year prevalence of online victimization in a community sample of Spanish adolescents. The final sample consisted of 3,897 adolescents between 12 and 17 years old (M=14.45, SD=1.59), 1,836 males and 2,049 females, recruited from 39 secondary schools in the east of Spain. The Cuestionario de victimización juvenil mediante internet y/o teléfono móvil (hereinafter, Juvenile Online Victimization Questionnaire, JOV-Q, Montiel & Carbonell, 2012) was applied for the assessment of eight types of online victimization grouped in two major domains: sexual (sexual coercion, sexual pressure, online grooming by an adult, unwanted exposure to sexual content and violation of privacy); and nonsexual victimization (online harassment, happy slapping, pressure to obtain personal information). Sixty-one percent of adolescents reported online victimization during the last year. Online sexual victimization was reported by 39.5% of adolescents and nonsexual victimization by 53.4% of them, whereas 31% of youth reported having experienced online victimization in both domains. The highest prevalence rates were recorded for online harassment (50%), unwanted exposure to sexual content (24.4%), pressure to obtain personal information (18.4%) and online grooming by an adult (17.2%), and the lowest for sexual coercion (6.7%) and happy slapping (2.2%). Thirty-five percent of the adolescents were considered online polyvictims and most of them experienced victimization in both sexual and nonsexual domains (88%). This study illustrates that Spanish adolescents experience high levels of online victimization and that multiple online victimization appears to be the norm among cybervictims. 2025-04-03T17:08:31Z 2025-04-03T17:08:31Z 2016-02 2025-04-03T17:08:32Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 0145-2134 https://hdl.handle.net/2445/220245 658916 eng Versió postprint del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chiabu.2015.12.005 Child Abuse & Neglect, 2016, vol. 52, p. 123-134 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chiabu.2015.12.005 cc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier Ltd., 2016 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 12 p. application/pdf Elsevier Ltd.
