Clinical Trial Description

Bullying victimization can harm victims' mental health. Numerous studies have shown that, when an adolescent is a victim of cyberbullying, the risk of developing numerous mental health problems increases. Tackling the problem of cyberbullying victims' worsening mental health involves at least (1) reducing bullying itself, as this would reduce the prevalence of victimization, and (2) building resilience in the victims so that their mental health does not worsen. In recent years, a number of preventive interventions have been developed aimed at reducing cyberbullying but not so much focused on building resilience in the victims. Very recently, interest in scientific social psychology has grown due to a new approach to interventions, which have been called "wise interventions." This approach involves a set of rigorous techniques, based on theory and research, that address specific psychological processes to help people thrive in various life environments. The main objective of this project is to extend the previous findings to the mental health effects of online victimization in adolescents. In this project it will be designed and evaluated the effectiveness of an wise intervention aimed at (1) reducing online bullying, as this would reduce the prevalence of victimization; and (2) building resilience in victims so that the negative impact of victimization on their mental health will be reduced. The secondary objective will be to evaluate the moderating role of gender and the degree of development in the effects of the intervention.The study will involve the evaluation of the intervention in a sample of around 600 adolescents randomly allocated to experimental and control condition. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
