Abstract in brief

This study examined cyberbullying victimization among 14- to 17-year-olds across seven European countries, finding that Romania had the highest rate and Spain the lowest, with different factors linked to victimization in each country.
It showed that using social networking sites was connected to cybervictimization in Romania, Poland, and Germany, while overall internet use increased the risk only in Romania, and cybervictimization was linked to both internalizing (emotional problems) and externalizing (behavior problems) issues.
The findings suggest that cyberbullying is a persistent problem influenced by country-specific social and technological factors, highlighting the need for education on responsible internet use and mental health support to address its emotional and behavioral impacts.]
