The Internet and advanced technology are increasingly dominating our lives. The number of researches regarding the aggressive behaviour of teenagers on the Internet is rapidly increasing. This study aims at revealing the features of cyberbullying in popular social networks and its negative psychological consequences. This article summarises the results of using Google Trends in the context of ‘bullying’ and ‘cyberbullying’ during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kazakhstan during the transition to distance learning. A total number of 32 adolescents participated in an online survey about cyberbullying. According to our results, all participants said that this is a terrifying fact to believe that they cannot rely on adults when it comes to cyberbullying unlike traditional bullying, where the aggressor is known to the face and can be avoided, but the pursuer is anonymous in cyberspace. Cyberbullying can be particularly dangerous for children and adolescents who have had traumatic experiences or who have experienced rejection within the family.   Keywords: Internet space, cyberbullying, victimisation, COVID-19, technology.

Whilst it may be easy to dismiss ideological diatribes about `a something for nothing society' as empty rhetoric, there are relatively few recent studies with which to assess claims about `benefit scroungers' and `dole fiddlers'. Qualitative methods were employed to explore the ways in which some working-class people in an economically depressed locality did `fiddly jobs' (i.e. working `undeclared' whilst in receipt of unemployment benefits). The research explored the motivations underpinning fiddly work and the normative values surrounding it. Informants expressed a clear and conservative morality which stood at odds with descriptions of a `welfare underclass' or `dependency culture': most common types of fiddling (irregular, low-paid, temporary) were economically necessary and were done (usually by men) in order to support household incomes and to preserve self-respect. Fiddly work was distributed through local social networks which allowed a minority to maintain an involvement with work culture and to avoid some of the worst material and social psychological consequences of unemployment. Thus fiddly jobs in sub-contracted and other sectors of casualised work are part of a survival strategy through which some people develop alternative ways of working in the face of restricted avenues for legitimate employment and a system of benefits which failed to meet people's material needs.

Home confinement, due to the Covid-19 health crisis, causes a change in daily routines. Among them, the habit of accessing news, even more in countries like Spain, one of the main sources of the disease and with a longer stay in homes. This article analyzes media consumption in the first week of confinement through an online survey (N = 530), and a subsequent wave (N = 300) to identify changes in reporting routines after one month of confinement, with quantitative and other qualitative questions, semi-structured. The results show that in the face of a greater informative interest in the first week, there has been a decrease in the time spent on news about the coronavirus due to sensations such as overinformation, stress or anxiety, or the absence of novelty, as well as a greater selection of media, social networks and journalists. There is also a criticism of misinformation, fake news, sensationalism, unethics in some news and constant doubt about the ideological intent of the information.

Este artículo explora cómo internet y las redes sociales pueden convertirse en el origen de conflictos en la esfera familiar. Se analiza la influencia de Internet en la convivencia familiar, examinando las preocupaciones y necesidades para educar en el ámbito digital. Se ha desarrollado un estudio cuantitativo no experimental empleando el método de encuesta. Participaron 1144 estudiantes de educación secundaria de la ciudad de A Coruña, todos ellos usuarios de internet y redes sociales. Un 76% de los encuestados manifiesta que sus padres no les prohíben nada cuando navegan por la red. Entre las principales acciones que los progenitores impiden realizar a sus hijos e hijas, se encuentran: realizar compras en línea, dar información personal y enviar correos a personas desconocidas. También se ha podido identificar que un 49% de los menores discute con sus padres por el uso de internet. Asimismo, se constata que las mujeres, frente a los hombres, son las que afirman que su familia se preocupa en mayor medida por el tipo de contenidos a los que acceden, así como por los contactos incluidos en sus redes sociales. Resulta necesario que padres y madres tomen conciencia de la importancia que supone educar a sus hijos/as en un uso responsable de la tecnología. En este sentido, adquirir una adecuada educación digital en el seno familiar resulta clave para minimizar conflictos, así como prevenir y tomar conciencia de los riesgos derivados de un uso inadecuado de internet y de las redes sociales. This article explores how the Internet and social networks can become the source of conflicts in the family sphere. The influence of the Internet on family life is analyzed, examining the concerns and needs when it comes to education in the digital world. A non-experimental quantitative study was carried out using the survey method. 1144 high school students from the city of A Coruña participated, all of them Internet and social media users. 76% of those surveyed state that their parents do not forbid them anything when they surf on the Net. The main actions that parents prevent their sons and daughters from doing include making online purchases, giving personal information and sending emails to strangers. It was also identified that 49% of minors argue with their parents about using the Internet. Likewise, it was found that women, in contrast to men, affirm that their family cares more about the type of content they access, as well as the contacts included on their social networks. It is necessary for parents to become aware of the importance of educating their children in a responsible use of technology. In this sense, acquiring adequate digital education within the family is key to minimizing conflicts, as well as preventing and becoming aware of the risks derived from an inappropriate use of the Internet and social networks.

In the recent years, the number of studies of modern adolescents’ aggressive behavior in the Internet, including cyberbullying, has increased. However, so far there are few summarizing works describing different aspects of this phenomenon and its specific manifestations in various social networks. The goal of the article is a review of foreign studies on virtual aggression among young users of social networks. Studies revealing peculiarities of the Internet-bullying in popular social networks and its negative psychological consequences are considered. Statistical data on the prevalence of cyberbullying among adolescents in a number of countries are given. The main motives of cyber-aggression are analyzed, as well as risk factors stimulating the involvement of young people in cyberbullying and factors decreasing its influences on the psychological well-being of young users. The article describes some modern areas of cyberbullying prevention. Better understanding peculiarities of adolescents’ aggressive behavior on various virtual platforms will help to develop effective anti-bullying programs and to increase the level of security for youth activities in the digital space.

Studies examining the experience of children returned from foster care can reveal its causes and the severity of the psychological consequences, as well as the positive effect of psychological support on family functioning. Our research was aimed at the features of children and characteristics of foster families who refuse to continue parenting foster children. The study participants were comprised of families raising a foster child (Group One—182 families), and families who refused to continue parenting and returned the child (Group Two—19 families). The study was conducted using the “standardized interview for parents” and the “list of traumatic experiences of the child.” The results show that the strongest contributor to foster family breakdown was the degree of the child’s traumatic experience before placement (for Group One, 3.9 (1.15); Group Two, 6.1 (1.31), U = 395.0, p < 0.001) and the minimal participation of the family in an intervention program (the total number of program activities the family did not participate in; for Group One, 48.5 (28.27)%, Group Two, 95.5 (2.58)%, U = 67.5, p < 0.001). Our data expand ideas about the functioning of foster families who have taken children with significant traumatic experience and indicate the need to improve the quality of psychological and social support to foster families as an important factor in preventing secondary returns.
