The increasing prevalence of cyberbullying victimization has become a commonplace issue globally. Although research has explored various predictors and consequences of cyberbullying victimization, most focus on a narrow range of variables or contexts, highlighting the need to comprehensively review and synthesize the wealth of empirical findings. We conducted a systematic review of meta-analyses on cyberbullying victimization, incorporating 56 meta-analyses and 296 effect sizes (sample size range 421–1,136,080, sample size median 53,183; searched via EBSCOhost ERIC, EBSCOhost PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, 13 cyberbullying-related journals, Google Scholar and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses) to address the following critical questions: (1) What are the crucial sociodemographic and psychological profiles of cyberbullying victims? (2) What critical contextual and environmental factors are associated with cyberbullying victimization? (3) What are the key psychological and behavioural consequences of cyberbullying victimization? (4) How effective are existing interventions in mitigating impacts of cyberbullying? Included meta-analyses had to focus on cyberbullying victimization and report at least one predictor or consequence. A quality assessment was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Instrument for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses. Findings suggest that females, school-aged populations, traditional bullying victims and frequent internet users were more likely to be cyberbullied. Unregulated school environments and unsupportive parental relationships were also associated with increased cyberbullying victimization. Cyberbullying victimization was consistently associated with negative psychological outcomes, lower school performance and maladaptive coping behaviours. More importantly, the current review found that cyberbullying intervention programmes show promising results. The current review underscores the importance of devoting adequate resources to mitigating cyberbullying victimization.

对网络欺凌受害的风险因素、保护因素、后果和干预措施的荟萃分析进行总括性审查
网络欺凌受害的日益普遍已成为全球普遍存在的问题。尽管研究探讨了网络欺凌受害的各种预测因素和后果,但大多数研究都集中在狭窄的变量或背景上,这凸显了全面回顾和综合大量实证发现的必要性。我们对网络欺凌受害的荟萃分析进行了系统评价,纳入了 56 项荟萃分析和 296 个效应量(样本量范围 421-1,136,080,样本量中位数 53,183;通过 EBSCOhost ERIC、EBSCOhost PsycInfo、PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、13 种网络欺凌相关期刊、Google Scholar 和 ProQuest Dissertations and Theses) 进行搜索,以解决以下关键问题:(1) 网络欺凌的关键社会人口学和心理特征是什么受害者?(2) 哪些关键的背景和环境因素与网络欺凌受害相关?(3) 网络欺凌受害的主要心理和行为后果是什么?(4) 现有干预措施在减轻网络欺凌影响方面效果如何?纳入的荟萃分析必须关注网络欺凌受害情况,并报告至少一个预测因素或后果。使用 Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Instrument for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses 进行质量评估。研究结果表明,女性、学龄人群、传统霸凌受害者和频繁上网的用户更有可能遭受网络霸凌。不受监管的学校环境和不支持的父母关系也与网络欺凌受害的增加有关。 网络欺凌受害始终与负面心理结果、学习成绩下降和适应不良的应对行为有关。更重要的是,目前的审查发现,网络欺凌干预计划显示出有希望的结果。目前的审查强调了投入足够资源来减轻网络欺凌受害的重要性。
