Resumen: The abuse of video games and cyberbullying have lately been occurring at younger ages, but there are few studies of a developmental nature and that consider all types of video games. 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.
