- How online violence affects mental health : a relationship to understandPublication . Gadomski, Gaëlle; Reis, Marta SofiaOnline violence has emerged as a growing health concern due to its psychological impact on individuals across diverse social groups. This study aimed to investigate the impact of online violence on mental health, focusing specifically on symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed with a sample of 250, divided into two groups: participants who had experienced online violence (OV group) and those who had not (Control group). Participants completed an anonymous online questionnaire, which included validated French versions of the CES-D, BAI, and IES-R scales. Statistical analyses revealed significantly higher scores on all three scales for the OV group compared to the Control group, with large to very large effect sizes (p < .001). These findings underscore the serious psychological toll of online violence and highlight the need for more comprehensive prevention strategies, public awareness, and mental health support services tailored to digital contexts.
