Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: In recent years, due to the increased use of cyberspace, cyberviolence has flourished, and with it the appearance of various mental disorders, including depression. Objective: Carry out a systematic review with the objective of analyzing investigations, between 2019 and 2022, on the relationship between cyberbullying and depression in the adolescent population, of articles selected in searches of 90 studies, written in Spanish or in English, 2 in REDIB and 88 in PubMed on the date 2/2/2022. The search terms were “cyberbullying” and “depresión” and “depression” and “adolescencia”. The articles selected for their abstracts for analysis were 33: 7 samples from the United States of America, 5 from China, 5 from Spain, 2 from Peru, 2 from Turkey, and 1 from Romania, Qatar, Belgium, Taiwan, Singapore, Bangladesh, Sweden, and Australia and 4 reviews and meta-analyses from various countries not specified in the abstracts. A total of 14,300 adolescents participated and those of the systematic review and meta-analysis were 237,960. The quantitative instruments used, where the Cyberbullying and Depression scales predominate, are detailed in a table, to investigate the disturbance between them, in addition to the measurement of other mediating and moderating variables. This study confirms the demonstration of a significant association between cybervictimization and depression and the significant predictive effect of cyberbullying on depression.
