Istraživanje je provedeno kako bi se ispitala učestalost nasilja preko Interneta i odnos njegovog doživljavanja i/ili činjenja s rizičnim ponašanjima (nepoželjnim normativnim ponašanjima, rizičnim spolnim ponašanjima te prekršajnim i lakšim delinkventnim ponašanjima). U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 339 učenika drugih razreda dvije vinkovačke srednje škole, a korišteni instrumenti su Skala doživljavanja/činjenja nasilja preko Interneta te Upitnik samoiskaza rizičnog i delinkventnog ponašanja mladih. Rezultati pokazuju kako je prevalencija nasilja preko Interneta u odabranom uzorku 17,7% za doživljavanje i 16,5% za činjenje nasilja preko Interneta te da su, od rizičnih ponašanja, u odabranom uzorku najučestalija nepoželjna normativna ponašanja. Osim toga, rezultati upućuju i na spolne razlike u broju sudionika koji čine nasilje preko Interneta te se uključuju u rizična ponašanja. Budući da su rezultati pokazali da ne postoje spolne razlike u broju sudionika koji doživljavaju nasilje preko Interneta, prva je hipoteza djelomično potvrđena. Rezultati ukazuju i na razliku u izraženosti rizičnih ponašanja između sudionika koji su sudjelovali u nasilju preko Interneta i onih koji to nisu. U okviru trećeg problema provedene su dvije hijerarhijske regresijske analize kojima se utvrdilo da su prediktor doživljavanja nasilja preko Interneta nepoželjna normativna ponašanja, dok su prediktori činjenja nasilja preko Interneta nepoželjna normativna ponašanja te prekršajna i lakša delinkventna ponašanja. Treća je hipoteza stoga djelomično potvrđena.

This study aimed to investigate the incidence of Internet violence as well as the relationship between experiencing and/or committing such violence and risk behaviors (undesirable normative behaviour, risk sexual behavior and violative and minor delinquent behavior). A sample of 339 second grade students of two secondary schools in Vinkovci participated in this study. The following instruments were used: Cyber Victim and Bullying Scale and the Youth self-reported delinquency and risk behaviors questionnaire. The results of this study show that the prevalence of Internet violence in the selected sample is distributed as follows: 17,7% experience and 16,5% commit Internet violence and that, the most prevalent among risk behaviors are undesirable normative behaviors. Furthermore, the results reveal the gender differences in the number of participants who committed Internet violence and who participated in risk behaviors. The gender differences in number of participants who experienced Internet violence was not proven to be significant, therefore the first hypothesis was partly confirmed. The results also reveal the difference in the extent of risk behaviors between participants who partook in Internet violence and those who did not. Within the scope of the third issue, two hierarchical regression analyses were conducted the results of which reveal that the predictor of experiencing Internet violence is undesirable normative behavior, whereas the predictors of committing Internet violence are undesirable normative behavior and violative and minor delinquent behavior. Therefore the third hypothesis was partly confirmed.
