    Recientes estudios sugieren que el aumento del uso de las TIC y en especial de redes sociales parece estar relacionado con un mayor riesgo de exposición a fenómenos de intimidación en el ciberespacio. El ciber-rumor y el cybergossip son algunos de estos riesgos de gran relevancia en el estudio de la ciberconducta, pues modulan los procesos emocionales y actitudinales que pueden afectar negativamente al bienestar psicológico, así como al contexto social inmediato. Este documento presenta una revisión y reflexión general sobre el avance en el cuerpo teórico del cybergossip, delimita el constructo en comparación con el ciber-rumor y el cyberbullying, presenta un estudio realizado en Colombia desde una perspectiva cross-cultural y ofrece posibles líneas de trabajo futuras desde las ciencias sociales computacionales. Las conclusiones son útiles para los diversos estudios que abordan el estudio de la ciberconducta, particularmente desde la multidisciplinariedad y las ciencias sociales computacionales.

    Recent studies suggest that the increase in the use of ICT and especially of social networks seems to be related to a greater risk of exposure to bullying phenomena in cyberspace. Cyber-rumor and cybergossip are some of these highly relevant risks in the study of cyberbehavior, as they modulate emotional and attitudinal processes that can negatively affect psychological well-being, as well as the immediate social context. This document presents a general review and a reflection on the progress in the theoretical body of cybergossip. It defines the construct in comparison with cyber-rumor and cyberbullying, presents a study carried out in Colombia from a cross-cultural perspective and offers possible future lines of work from computational social sciences. The conclusions are useful for the various investigations that address the study of cyberbehavior, particularly from multidisciplinarity and computational social sciences.

O ciber-rumor e o cybergossip são alguns desses riscos altamente relevantes no estudo do cibercomportamento, pois modulam processos emocionais e atitudinais que podem afetar negativamente o bem-estar psicológico, bem como o contexto social imediato. Este documento apresenta uma revisão geral e uma reflexão sobre os avanços no corpo teórico da cybergossip, delimita o construto em comparação com o cyber-rumor e o cyberbullying, apresenta um estudo realizado na Colômbia a partir de uma perspectiva transcultural e oferece possíveis linhas de trabalho futuro das ciências sociais computacionais. As conclusões são úteis para os vários estudos que abordam o estudo do cibercomportamento, nomeadamente da multidisciplinaridade e das ciências sociais computacionais.
