Abstract

Cyberbullying has become a critical issue as people (especially, young people) daily use social networking sites (SNSs). This study investigates possible factors affecting cyberbullying victimization experiences, comparing SNS users in Austria and Korea. Particularly, this study focuses on how individuals' self-disclosure patterns, compulsive Internet use, and depressive status are related to four different types of cyberbullying victimization experiences (written-verbal, visual, exclusion, and impersonation). Furthermore, the results are compared between SNS users in Austria and Korea. Results from total 519 respondents show that self-disclosure patterns on SNSs, compulsive Internet use, and depressive status are positively related to different types of cyberbullying victimization experiences. However, there are differences between Austria and Korea. For example, the frequency of changing one's profile setting is positively related to all types of cyberbullying victimization experiences in Korea, while it is only positively related to victimization experience of visual cyberbullying in Austria. Depressive status is only positively related to victimization experience of written-verbal cyberbullying in Korea, while it is positively related to all types of cyberbullying victimization experience in Austria.

사람들, 특히 젊은 사람들이 SNS(사회관계망 사이트)를 매일 사용함에 따라 사이버불링은 점차 더 중요한 문제가 되었다. 본 연구는 SNS상에서 사이버불링 피해 경험에 영향을 미치는 요인을 한국과 오스트리아에서 조사하고 그 결과를 비교한다. 특히 본 연구는 SNS 사용자의 자기노출 패턴, 강박적 인터넷 사용 그리고 우울한 상태의 정도가 글-언어, 시각적, 왕따, 위장이라는 네 가지 형태의 사이버불링 피해 경험에 어떻게 영향을 미치는가 하는 것에 주목하였다. 이에 따라 한국과 오스트리아에서 510명의 SNS 사용자를 대상으로 조사를 하였고, 그 결과 SNS 사용자의 자기 노출 패턴, 강박적 인터넷 사용 및 우울한 상태의 정도가 위에 열거한 사이버불링의 피해 경험에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 한국과 오스트리아 SNS 사용자들 사이에서는 차이도 있었다. 즉, 한국에서는 프로필에 관한 정보를 자주 바꾸는 것이 위에 열거한 네 가지 형태의 사이버불링 피해 경험에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만 오스트리아에서는 네 가지 형태 모두가 아닌, 시각적 사이버불링 피해 경험에만 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또, 한국에서는 우울한 상태의 정도가 글-언어 사이버불링 피해 경험에만 영향을 미쳤지만 오스트리아에서는 반대로 네 가지 형태의 사이어불링 피해 경험에 모두 영향을 미쳤다.
