The aim of this study is to analyze whether video game abuse predicts cyberbullying considering sex and age in a sample of n = 619 Spanish students (52.7% girls, 47.3% boys) aged 10 and 18 years (M: 12.9 years (SD = 2.3). Applying a multigroup analysis, video game abuse predicts participation in cyberbullying in both sexes, and in cybervictimization to a greater extent in boys. On the other hand, our results reveal that this prediction is significantly higher in the youngest group (10–12 years), which represents novel advances in the prevention of these risks. info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Elboj-Saso, Carmen Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-0937-4861 Íñiguez-Berrozpe, Tatiana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-4530-9645 Cebollero-Salinas, Ana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-2515-9029 4009 775 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
