AB Background/Objective: The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationshipsamong cybervictimization, maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies andsomatic complaints in a 4-month follow-up study. Method: A total of 1,024 high school students(456 male and 568 female, M (SD) = 13.69 years (1.3 years), range 12---18 years, voluntarily participatedin this study. Measures of cybervictimization and cognitive strategies were obtainedat Time 1. Four months later (Time 2), measures of somatic complaints were obtained. Results:Multiple mediation analyses were conducted to determine the mediating roles of maladaptivestrategies in the link between cybervictimization and somatic complaints. As expected, pathanalyticresults showed that cybervictimization predicted somatic symptoms. Furthermore,some maladaptive regulation strategies, namely self-blame and rumination, partially mediatedthe link between cybervictimization and somatic symptoms evaluated 4-months later.Conclusions: The findings are discussed in terms of the role that maladaptive cognitive emotionregulation strategies might play with regards to physical health in cyberbullying episodes. Ingeneral, these findings have important implications for developing an understanding about theaffective determinants of somatic health problem initiation and maintenance after a victimizationand for developing intervention programs specifically for cybervictimized adolescents.
