Goals
"The objective of this study was to explore what factors are associated with exposure to IRL bullying, cyberbullying, and both IRL and cyberbullying and to explore the relationship between these types of bullying and mental health among 13–16-year-old Swedish boys and girls.
Research questions were: What is the prevalence of exposure to IRL bullying, cyberbullying, and the combination of IRL and cyberbullying? How is poor body image, foreign background, age, and poor school climate associated with exposure to the types of bullying? How is exposure to IRL bullying, cyberbullying, and both IRL and cyberbullying associated with psychosomatic problems and depressive symptoms?"
