Resumen

La cybervictimización y la cybeagresión constituyen importantes factores de riesgo para la salud mental de los individuos ya que, por ejemplo, en algunos casos la cybervictimización puede conducir al suicidio de las víctimas. Si bien en la actualidad en la Argentina se ha prestado una notable atención a estas problemáticas, pocos estudios se han llevado a cabo en dicho país para determinar los correlatos psicosociales de la cybervictimización y la cyberagresión en estudiantes universitarios. Se constituyó una muestra intencional de 410 alumnos universitarios que cursaban estudios regulares de primero a quinto año en universidades privadas de Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina. El 75% eran mujeres. Las edades iban de 17 a 36 años, con una media de 21.8 años. El 57% vivía con ambos padres. Los participantes contestaron un cuestionario de cyberbullying, escalas sobre depresión y ansiedad-estrés y un cuestionario de uso problemático de nuevas tecnologías. La participación voluntaria, el anonimato y la confidencialidad fueron asegurados. Los resultados indicaban que un 31% era cybervictimizado y un 27% era cyberagresor, que más mujeres que varones eran cybervíctimas y que no existían diferencias a este respecto en cyberagresión. Las cybervíctimas tenían puntajes más altos en depresión, ansiedad-estrés y uso problemático de nuevas tecnologías, mientras los cyberagresores solo mostraban puntajes más altos de uso problemático de nuevas tecnologías. En la discusión se analizan las implicancias de estos hallazgos, se proveen las limitaciones de la investigación y se brindan sugerencias para futuros estudios.
