In this article, an analysis of the existing literature is carried out. It focused on the netiquette (country, date, objectives, methodological design, main variables, sample details, and measurement methods) included in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. This systematic review of the literature has been developed entirely according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA). The initial search yielded 53 results, of which 18 exceeded the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in detail. These results show that this is a poorly defined line of research, both in theory and in practice. There is a need to update the theoretical framework and an analysis of the empirical proposals, whose samples are supported by students or similar. Knowing, understanding, and analyzing netiquette is a necessity in a society in which information and communication technologies (ICT) have changed the way of socializing and communicating. A new reality in which there is cyber-bullying, digital scams, fake news, and haters on social networks.

Forms Of Violence

The level of access to Internet services of children and adolescents has been studied in the article. Children use Internet services the most frequently to play video- or computer games, or to download them; to download information for studying or entertainment, to communicate with the help of different messengers (Skype, iTalk, using a web-camera etc.). There have been studied different forms of violence, faced by children in the information and communication environment: cyber-bulling, grooming, sexual abuse (sexting) etc. There have been analyzed the risks, faced by children in the information and communication environment. It has been discovered that the most widespread are imposing of unnecessary information, interference with a digital device, spreading of false information about children and adolescents, bullying, threats, as well as communication with strangers, leading to unintended consequences. There have been identified pre-conditions and factors of emergence of cyber-bullying and other forms of violence with the use of information and communication technologies. One of the factors that children face a serious danger in the information environment is the irresponsibility of adults as well as their ignorance of the basic rules to provide a child with a safe online environment. There have been studied the most probable illegal actions, used by offenders towards children and adolescents in Internet. There have also been identified consequences for a victim of violence as well as for an offender with the use of information and communication technologies. The victim as well as the offender has low self-esteem, poor mental and physical health, issues with studying and peer communication. There have been suggested the ways to prevent violence against children with the use of information and communication technologies. One of the major objectives of reaction towards violence against children with the use of information and communication technologies has to be not only the creation of an effective system of support and handling of violence cases, but also immediate resolving of legal aspects of prevention and elimination of cyber-bullying and online sexual exploitation of children.

Using Data

As opportunities for social interactions proliferate online, questions arise as to how engagement in such activities may relate to mental health. Given older adults’ shrinking networks and increasing use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), online interactions could offer alternatives for connections that could ultimately benefit older users’ mental health. This article examines associations between older adults’ online social engagement and their mental health. Using data from an online survey of older adults ages 60+, we find positive and negative associations between different forms of online social engagement and anxiety. In terms of depression, two forms of online social engagement showed positive associations with this mental health indicator. Our results can help explain inconclusive findings of previous research on ICT use and mental health by looking at how specific online social activities relate to mental health.

The Right

Cyberbullying is a systematic abuse of power which occurs through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Research on cyberbullying shows that cyberbullying and victimisation have very serious negative effects on the value judgements, social, academic and emotional lives of young people. Persons exposed to cyberbullying include intense sadness and depression, feelings of fear and shame, tense experience, high or very low alertness, low interest in ICTs tools, problematic behaviours, decrease in school success, use of harmful substances or inconvenience, crime, substance abuse, frustration, anger, anxiety, loss of motivation, academic failure, school absenteeism and problems that can lead to suicide. The studies on cyberbullying will encourage young people to recognise this concept and use the technology in the right direction to cope with cyberbullying situations.

Information And Communication

Psychotherapy has proven to be effective for a wide range of mental health problems. However, not all patients respond to the treatment as expected (not-on-track patients). Routine outcome monitoring (ROM) and measurement-based care (MBC), which consist of monitoring patients between appointments and using this data to guide the intervention, have been shown to be particularly useful for these not-on-track patients. Traditionally, though, ROM and MBC have been challenging, due to the difficulties associated with repeated monitoring of patients and providing real-time feedback to therapists. The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) might help reduce these challenges. Therefore, we systematically reviewed evidence regarding the use of ICTs for ROM and MBC in face-to-face psychological interventions for mental health problems. The search included published and unpublished studies indexed in the electronic databases PubMed, PsycINFO, and SCOPUS. Main search terms were variations of the terms “psychological treatment”, “progress monitoring or measurement-based care”, and “technology”. Eighteen studies met eligibility criteria. In these, ICTs were frequently handheld technologies, such as smartphone apps, tablets, or laptops, which were involved in the whole process (assessment and feedback). Overall, the use of technology for ROM and MBC during psychological interventions was feasible and acceptable. In addition, the use of ICTs was found to be effective, particularly for not-on-track patients, which is consistent with similar non-ICT research. Given the heterogeneity of reviewed studies, more research and replication is needed to obtain robust findings with different technological solutions and to facilitate the generalization of findings to different mental health populations.

As Stress

The teaching process requires a set of principles on which it is based in order to achieve what is necessary, regardless of the methods employed. However, the exceptional situation that the world is currently experiencing following the spread of COVID 19 has imposed profound changes and even upheavals at the level of teaching methods and practices which have transformed in a way. As a result, the majority of teachers also wonders and worries mainly through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to communicate with the student and transmit information to him. Consequently, several difficulties, concerning the provision of ICT and their mastery, the mode of carrying out this type of teaching, the organization of time ..., had repercussions which impacted the mental health of the teacher. And upset his psycho-sociological balance by causing him a set of psychological disorders such as: stress, anxiety, frustration ... So to what extent the COVID 19 could have affected the mental health of the teacher during his practice of distance education?
