Abstract

AbstractThis study aims to identify the relationship between the phenomenon of socialisolation and victimisation through cyberbullying. The Hikikomori Questionnaire(HQ-25) (Teo et al., 2018) was used to identify social isolation in the participants,and the prevalence of cyberbullying victims was monitored using a self-constructedscale Victimisation through Cyberbullying. The structure of the research instrumentswas determined using exploratory factor analysis, which revealed three factors in theHikikomori Questionnaire and one factor in the Victimisation through CyberbullyingScale. The research sample consisted of 2,768 pupils at the 2nd level of primaryschool. The average age of the pupils was 12.7 years (SD = 1.12). The empiricalresearch confirmed a weak statistically significant positive correlation between thefactors of the Hikikomori Questionnaire (avoidance of social interaction, isolation,engagement in social interaction) and the Victimisation through Cyberbullying Scale.The subsequent inferential analysis aimed to identify the statistically significantdifferences in cyberbullying victimisation according to gender and year of education.The results showed that females and older pupils scored significantly higher on theVictimisation through Cyberbullying Scale.Key words: cyberbullying; prevention; pupil; social isolation; victimisation.---SažetakCilj je ovoga istraživanja utvrditi vezu između fenomena socijalne izolacije iviktimizacije putem elektroničkoga nasilja (engl. cyberbullying). Za prepoznavanjedruštvene izolacije kod sudionika korišten je Upitnik o hikikomoriju (HQ-25) (Teo isur., 2018), dok se broj žrtava elektroničkoga nasilja pratio pomoću Skale viktimizacijeputem elektroničkoga nasilja koju su izradili autori. Struktura instrumenatakorištenih u istraživanju određena je pomoću eksploratorne faktorske analize kojomsu utvrđena tri faktora u Upitniku o hikikomoriju i jedan faktor u Skali viktimizacijeputem elektroničkoga nasilja. Uzorak ispitanika sastojao se od 2768 učenika nadrugoj razini osnovne škole. Prosječna dob ispitanika bila je 12,7 godina (SD = 1,12).Empirijsko istraživanje potvrdilo je slabu statistički značajnu pozitivnu vezu izmeđufaktora u Upitniku o hikikomoriju (izbjegavanje društvene interakcije, izolacija,uključivanje u društvenu interakciju) i Skale viktimizacije putem elektroničkoganasilja. Inferencijska analiza koja je uslijedila imala je za cilj utvrditi statističkiznačajne razlike u viktimizaciji putem elektroničkoga nasilja prema spolu i raziniobrazovanja. Rezultati su pokazali da su učenice i stariji učenici imali znatno višerezultate na Skali viktimizacije outem elektroničkoga nasilja.Ključne riječi: elektroničko nasilje (engl. cyberbullying); prevencija; učenik; socijalnaizolacija; viktimizacija.
