Abstract(s)
A Ansiedade Social, tal como na autoestima, apresenta uma preocupação com a
avaliação negativa e assume-se como um fator de risco ou consequência do
envolvimento em ciberbullying. Neste sentido, devido à escassez de estudos que
explorem a relação entre as variáveis, o presente estudo tem como objetivo geral
explorar a relação entre a ansiedade social, a autoestima e o ciberbullying. Participaram
no estudo 165 estudantes universitários portugueses, com idades compreendidas entre
os 18 e os 21 anos, que preencheram: um Questionário Sociodemográfico, a Escala de
Ansiedade e Evitamento em Situações de Desempenho e Interação Social, a Escala de
Autoestima de Rosenberg e o Questionário sobre o Cyberbullying no Ensino Superior.
A fobia social apresentou uma prevalência de 28.5% de desconforto/ansiedade e de
35.8% de evitamento. No ciberbullying, 64.2% são vítimas e 17.6% agressores. O sexo
feminino apresentou níveis mais elevados de fobia social e de ciberbullying e níveis
mais baixos de autoestima. A fobia social não apresentou uma relação com o
ciberbullying, contudo, relaciona-se negativamente com a idade e com a autoestima.
Tais resultados, alertam para a necessidade de estudos longitudinais, que permitam o
desenvolvimento de ações de prevenção e de intervenção.
Social Anxiety, like self-esteem, presents a concern with negative evaluation and is assumed as a risk factor or consequence of involvement in cyberbullying. In this sense, due to the scarcity of studies that explore the relationship between the variables, the present study aims to explore the relationship between social anxiety, self-esteem and cyberbullying. Participated in the study 165 Portuguese university students, aged between 18 and 21 years, who completed: a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Social Interaction and Performance Anxiety and Avoidance Scale, the Rosenberg SelfEsteem Scale and the Cyberbullying Inventory for College Students. Social phobia had a prevalence of 28.5% of distress/anxiety and 35.8% of avoidance. In cyberbullying, 64.2% are victims and 17.6% are aggressors. Females had higher levels of social phobia and cyberbullying and lower levels of self-esteem. Social phobia did not present a relationship with cyberbullying, however, it is negatively related to age and self-esteem. Such results alert to the need for longitudinal studies that allow the development of prevention and intervention actions.
