    Este estudio exploratorio analiza la prevalencia de victimización electrónica durante el COVID-19, evaluando los posibles factores de riesgo, en 163 participantes de 14 a 17 años residentes en España. Se utilizó una adaptación del Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (Finkelhor, Ormrod, et al., 2005), administrada mediante una encuesta online. La prevalencia de ciberacoso fue del 1,9%, mientras que la del acoso sexual online fue del 20%. Más de la mitad de las experiencias de victimización electrónica durante la pandemia (54,3%) ya ocurrían anteriormente, aunque un 2,5% de los adolescentes experimentó acoso sexual online por primera vez durante la pandemia. El confinamiento y la desescalada no representaron un incremento de este tipo de experiencias. Tampoco se encontró relación entre los factores de riesgo del entorno familiar y la victimización electrónica. Es necesaria la educación a adolescentes, familiares y sociedad en general, acerca del buen uso de las tecnologías y los riesgos asociados a éstas.

    This exploratory study analyzes the prevalence of electronic victimization during COVID-19, evaluating possible risk factors, in 163 participants between 14-and-17 years old living in Spain. Electronic victimization experiences were assessed using an adapted version of the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (Finkelhor, Ormrod, et al., 2005), drawn from an online survey. The prevalence of cyberbullying was 1.9%, while that of online sexual harassment was 20%. More than half of the experiences of electronic victimization during the pandemic (54.3%) already occurred previously, although 2.5% of adolescents experienced online sexual harassment for the first time during the pandemic. Confinement and de-escalation have not led to an increase in this type of experiences. Similarly, no relationship was found between the family environment risk factors and the experiences of electronic victimization. Education about the proper use of new technologies and the possible risks associated with them is necessary for adolescents, their families and society in general.
