Abstract
Outcome
Overall 72 % of Slovak children and adolescents access the internet via a mobile phone. This applies more for boys than girls. The most frequently activity online is using social networking sites (65 %), listening to the music (57 %) and communication with family and friends (47 %). In terms of digital competence there is no difference between girls and boys.
Eight per cent of children and adolescents have experienced something that bothered or upset them. More then one quarter of those with this negative ecperience have not told anyone about it. In addition, "almost one third of parents do not talk to their children about what they experienced online." Izrael P. et al., 2020, 90.
Prevalence of experience with cyberbullying is 6%. One in five children has seen some sexually explicit content online.
