Cyberbullying Vulnerability Scale (NCS-13) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is designed to screen for perceived vulnerability to online harassment and related concerns. The Cyberbullying Vulnerability Scale (NCS-13) focuses on an individual’s subjective sense of safety and susceptibility in digital communication contexts.
The instrument consists of 13 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Items assess perceptions of exposure to online aggression and the extent to which the respondent feels unprotected in social media and other internet-based interactions.
Results from the Cyberbullying Vulnerability Scale (NCS-13) may be used to inform clinical interviewing, risk formulation, and preventive planning in settings where cyberbullying is a concern. It should be interpreted in context and not used as a standalone diagnostic tool. Original authors include Peter K. Smith, Sameer Hinduja, and Justin W. Patchin.
