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 dif-
ferent high-schools. Data was collected using UISAQ (Users’ Information Se-
curity Awareness Questionnaire) that examines risky behaviour on the Inter-
net 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-victimiza-
tion. Same predictors better explaine cyberbullying (25.4 % of total variance)
than cyber-victimization (11.9 % of total variance). Pupils that less often lend ac-
cess data, less often behave risky on the Internet, but more often backup da-
ta 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 communica-
tion 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-victimiza-
tion among pupils. Education is needed in order to rise security awareness and
to reduce cyberbullying.
