WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Cybervictimization Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

cyberpsychology
victimhood

This measure is designed to assess self-reported experiences of online victimization and related distress. The Cybervictimization Scale provides a structured way to quantify the frequency and perceived impact of unwanted or harmful digital interactions in everyday internet use.

Developed by David P. Farrington, it includes 38 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items sample a range of cybervictimization experiences (e.g., harassment, intimidation, deception, or other hostile online behaviors) and can be used to support clinical case formulation, monitor change over time, and inform risk management and intervention planning. When interpreting results, clinicians should consider contextual factors (platform norms, relationship dynamics, and co-occurring offline stressors) and integrate findings with collateral information as appropriate; the Cybervictimization Scale is not a standalone diagnostic tool.
