Sažetak
Introduction: Actions among youth on the Internet reflects directly onto the real life and cyberbullying can have tragic consequences on the psychological health. The aim was to examine risky online behaviour and security awareness as predictors of cyberbullying and cyber-victimization among pupils. Methods: Participants were secondary school pupils (N=355) from three different high- schools. Data was collected using UISAQ (Users’ Information Security Awareness Questionnaire) that examines risky behaviour on the Internet and level of security awareness. Results: All aspects of security awareness and two of three aspects of online risky behavior were significant predictors of cyberbullying and cyber-victimization. Same predictors better explaine cyberbullying (25.4 % of total variance) than cyber-victimization (11.9 % of total variance). Pupils that less often lend access data, less often behave risky on the Internet, but more often backup data and have stronger beliefs in security on the Internet are rarely cyberbullies. Pupils that less often lend access data, less often behave risky on the Internet, but more often backup data, have stronger beliefs in security and communication on the Internet are rarely cyber-victims. Discussion and conclusion: Combination of less risky online behaviour and higher security awareness results in less cyberbullying and less cyber-victimization among pupils. Education is needed in order to rise security awareness and to reduce cyberbullying.
