Abstract

Recently, school violence is transforming into a form of cyberbullying as the use of smartphones increases. Due to the non-face-to-face nature, anonymity, and borderlessness of the Internet, cyberbullying among adolescents spreads at a very rapid rate, occurs collectively, and occurs at a very serious level due to a low sense of responsibility. It was assumed that parental involvement online would significantly affect cyberbullying victimization by suppressing adolescents' awareness of online self-disclosure. As a result of the study, a significant relationship was confirmed between parental involvement and cyberbullying victimization experience, and the mediating effect of adolescents' awareness of online self-disclosure was also significant. In other words, it suggests that awareness of online self-disclosure can significantly mediate the process through which parental involvement affects the experience of cyberbullying victimization. Based on the analysis results, this study presents an effective intervention strategy for parental involvement in cyberbullying damage among adolescents. Regular education to help teenagers who use the Internet and smartphones clearly recognize the risks of self-disclosure will be a way to help them form healthy cyber usage habits.
