نقش تفاوت‌‌های فرهنگی در بزهدیدگی آنلاین

بزه دیدگی آنلاین پدیده‌ای نوظهور است که پیچیدگی‌های فراوانی نسبت به انواعی از بزهدیدگی در دنیای واقعی دارد. ناشناس بودن بزهکار و بزهدیده، بی‌معنا شدن مفهوم مرز، رنگ باختن اعتماد و سطح آسیب‌پذیری بالا از این موارد است. یکی از مهم‌ترین عواملی که بر این نوع بزهدیدگی تاثیرگذار است، تفاوت‌های فرهنگی است. بر این مبنا، پژوهش حاضر به روش تحلیلی- توصیفی و با استفاده از ابزار کتابخانه‌ای به دنبال پاسخ به این پرسش است که تفاوت‌های فرهنگی چگونه از حیث نظری می‌توانند تحلیل‌گر بزهدیدگی باشند و چه تاثیری در بروز بزهدیدگی در فضای آنلاین دارند. نظریاتی چون فعالیت روزمره، هویت اجتماعی، مدل قلدری آنلاین نژادی بارلت و نظریه‌‌ی ابعاد فرهنگی هافستد نشان دادند که این تفاوت‌ها می‌توانند در نوع تعاملات افراد با یکدیگر، شکل‌گیری هویت فرهنگی، تشویق ایدئولوژی‌های خاص بزهکارانه، میزان پذیرش رفتارهای بزهکارانه‌‌ی اعضای جامعه، ترویج اصل لذت و فرهنگ فردگرایی در مقابل جمع‌گرایی و در نهایت بروز بزهدیدگی نقش داشته باشند. همچنین، تاثیر تفاوت‌های فرهنگی بر بروز بزهدیدگی آنلاین در چهار بعد تصور بزهدیدگی، نوع آن، تجربه‌‌ی بزهدیدگی و تکرار آن است. نتیجه آنکه توسعه‌‌ی برنامه‌ها و کارگاه‌های آموزشی، تقویت نظارت اجتماعی و روابط خانوادگی، ترویج هنجارهای اجتماعی مثبت و توسعه‌‌ی پلتفرم‌های آنلاین امن می‌تواند به پیشگیری از بزهدیدگی کمک کند.

the impact of cultural differences on online victimization

online victimization, as a growing phenomenon, presents unique challenges that differ significantly from traditional forms of victimization. features such as the anonymity of both perpetrators and victims, the dissolution of geographical boundaries, reduced trust, and heightened vulnerability make cyberspace a distinctive environment for victimization. a key factor influencing this form of victimization is cultural differences, which play a pivotal role in the formation, experience, and recurrence of online victimization. culture, a complex concept encompassing the beliefs, behaviors, customs, and values of a society, has been recognized since the 1990s, particularly in criminology and cultural criminology, as a significant structural factor.contemporary criminological approaches view culture and cultural factors as foundational causes of crime and victimization. cultural criminology, in particular, argues that culture not only shapes criminal behavior but also influences societal reactions to crime and victimization. modern media and online environments, by influencing social norms and perceptions, have created new contexts for criminal acts and victimization. these new settings present specific challenges for vulnerable groups, particularly children and adolescents, such as the promotion of violence, aggressive behaviors, and the erosion of positive social values.this study adopts an analytical-descriptive approach, utilizing library resources to investigate the theoretical and practical aspects of this issue.theoretical frameworks explaining the role of cultural differences in online victimizationroutine activity theory (rat), proposed by cohen and felson, identifies three essential elements for victimization: motivated offenders, suitable targets, and capable guardianship. cultural differences influence these components in various ways. for instance, some cultures exhibit greater tolerance toward aggressive online behaviors, and the levels of familial and social supervision over internet use can vary. cultures that encourage the sharing of personal information increase their members’ vulnerability to online victimization.social identity theory emphasizes the role of group membership and cultural identity in how individuals experience victimization. people from diverse cultural backgrounds may experience victimization differently based on their group affiliations. ethnic and racial minorities, for example, are disproportionately exposed to online harassment, and the social distance between groups can intensify feelings of isolation and vulnerability. social groups that legitimize violent behavior may contribute to the perpetuation of victimization cycles.the barlett gentile cyberbullying model (bgcm) focuses on the impact of learned attitudes, especially regarding anonymity and the diminished relevance of physical power in online spaces. cultures with strong social norms, such as collectivist societies, tend to have lower rates of online bullying. conversely, individualistic cultures, which emphasize personal autonomy, exhibit higher rates of online victimization. positive attitudes toward online harassment, combined with a lack of accountability and weak social norm enforcement, increase individuals’ vulnerability.hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory identifies cultural dimensions such as individualism/collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity/femininity, which all affect online interactions and the likelihood of victimization. for example, in high power distance cultures, individuals may be less likely to report victimization, while those in cultures with high uncertainty avoidance may engage less in risky online interactions.cultural differences impacting online victimization across four dimensionsthe perception of victimization varies across cultures. cultural norms influence how individuals recognize and react to victimization, as well as how seriously it is perceived.
