Abstract

In this article we present a national research carried out in the context of Portugal. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of cyberbullying in Portuguese adolescents between 11 and 17 years old. For this, a quantitative study has been carried out using an ad hoc questionnaire as an information collection tool. The sample was composed of 739 students from 15 districts of the country. The results indicate that 19.5% of the sample has been a victim of cyberbullying. The aggression has been manifested mainly through insults and threats through the Internet, telephone and email, as well as by the distribution of sexual photographs without the victims' permission.
