Abstract
A cluster analysis identified five profiles of adolescent social anxiety and impulsivity: atypical (socially anxious/impulsive), no problems, no problems low, socially anxious, and impulsive. The subgroups were compared on online and offline bullying and victimization, controlling for age. Atypical adolescents were overrepresented as perpetrators and victims online, but not offline.
