Note. ¹Less children were involved in the correlations of problem-focused and emotion-focused cyber-specific copings because only children who actually got cyber-bullied filled out a score on these variables. ²Gender: 1 = boy; 2 = girl. ³Duration of the cyberbullying: 1 = 1-2 weeks; 2 = about a month; 3 = about six months; 4 = about a year or longer. ^∗∗𝑃<.01, ^∗𝑃<.05 (2-tailed).
