Cyberbullying: Relationship between depression, loneliness, self-efficacy and quality of friendship among university students.

Cyberbullying is the repeated targeting of a child or teenager by a peer in order to deliberately humiliate, threaten or harass them (Belsey, 2000). Engaging in cyberbullying incidents (both in cyber-victimization and cyber-aggression incidents) according to the relevant literature might relate to negative psychosocial variables such as loneliness and depression. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between incidents of cyber-victimization/cyber-aggression and loneliness, depression, self-efficacy and friendship quality, and also to explore the mediating role of loneliness between depression and cyber-victimization/ cyber-aggression. The sample consisted of 279 students from Greek universities aged 18 to 25, who completed online questionnaires on each one of the variables to be studied. After the data analysis, there was found a statistically significant association between depression and cyber-victimization/cyber-aggression and also that depression predicted cyber-victimization and cyber-aggression. As for the levels of depression according to Beck, there was found no correlation or predictive relationship between moderate/severe symptoms of depression and cyber-victimization/cyber-aggression, but there was found an association and a predictive relationship between minimal symptoms of depression and cyber-victimization/cyber-aggression. Respectively, there was a statistically significant association between loneliness and cyber-victimization/cyber-aggression, with the exception of loneliness not predicting cyber-aggression. Finally, there were no statistically significant correlations or predictive relationships for friendship quality and self-efficacy, nor was there any mediating role of loneliness between depression and cyber-victimization/cyber-aggression.
