Abstract

The use of internet is modifying our way of acting, and also our way of thinking, involving a change in one’s image, the image of the others and our relationships. However, internet is a new instrument of communication but also a tool to commit crimes. As a matter of fact crimes committed on the internet may be considered as one of the main typical psychological paradox of the relation between the mind and the advanced information technologies: the possibility that the experience of a complete control of one’s life promoted by the use of the internet (for it is characterized by accessibility, cheapness, the possibility of alter one’s identity, wholeness, interactivity and standardisation), can evolve in a progressive and complete loss of control on the virtual experience, leading to commit a real crime. The potentialities of these new mode of communication are well known, as well as the even greater number of risks for young subjects who have a not jet structured, and still in growing, personality. Cyberbulling is an example of these concrete risks. The term indicates bulling facts and troubles made through e-mails, chats, blogs, mobiles and web sites. involves minors whose identity are forming. This study shows the first results of a still in progress research among minors attending primary school.
