This report presents new findings on the coping strategies children use when bothered by
something online, and whether or not they evaluate these as helpful. The focus of the survey is on resilience - the ability to deal with negative experiences online or offline.
The report identifies which children are most vulnerable in terms of harm experienced from online risks and which factors make some children more likely to use positive coping strategies that help them solve the problem and/or give them emotional support. Last, it considers resilience among children from a cross-country perspective.
The EU Kids Online survey that was conducted in 25 European countries provides detailed evidence on four types of online risks: sexual images, online bullying, sexting, meeting new contacts online.
In total, over 25,000 European children were interviewed.
