In Oman, these issues are of significant concern due to the country\u2019s unique sociocultural context.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study examines the prevalence and associations between bullying, cyberbullying, and social network addiction among Omani adolescents with typical development (TD) and non-typical development (NTD). The study included a convenience sample of 1,458 students (50.2% female; mean age = 14.04 years; SD = 0.20) from grades 9-10 in public schools. Data were collected using the Adolescent Peer Relations Instrument, the Revised Cyber Bullying Inventory-II, and the Social Network Addiction Scale.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings revealed high levels of traditional bullying (35.9% perpetration; 53.5% victimization), with verbal aggression being the most prevalent form of both perpetration and victimization. Cyberbullying rates were moderate (9.7% perpetration; 19.9% victimization), consistent with international and regional data. Furthermore, 28.5% of adolescents met the study criterion for high social network addiction scores. Logistic regression analyses indicated that adolescents with NTD were more likely to report verbal bullying perpetration and verbal\/social victimization, but less likely to report physical and social bullying perpetration, cybervictimization, or to meet the study criterion for high social network addiction scores than their TD peers. Significant cross-sectional indirect associations between traditional bullying and cyberbullying outcomes through problematic social network use were observed in the TD group, whereas the corresponding indirect associations were not statistically significant in the NTD group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings underscore the need for tailored prevention strategies that address different patterns of association in adolescents with diverse developmental profiles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1865563","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T04:48:53Z","timestamp":1789620533000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bullying, cyberbullying, and social network addiction among adolescents with typical and non-typical development in Omani schools"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Al Saidi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Methodology of the Behavioral Sciences, Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, University of Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]},{"name":"Child Health Department, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University","place":["Muscat, Oman"]},{"name":"Department of Child Health, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, University Medical City","place":["Al-Khoudh, Oman"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Badenes-Ribera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Methodology of the Behavioral Sciences, Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, University of Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Ferrer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, University of Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Watfa","family":"Al-Mamari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Health Department, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University","place":["Muscat, Oman"]},{"name":"Department of Child Health, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, University Medical City","place":["Al-Khoudh, Oman"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Bozzato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Sciences and Innovation for the Territory, University of Insubria","place":["Varese, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sofia","family":"Mastrokoukou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Turin","place":["Turin, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudio","family":"Longobardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Turin","place":["Turin, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"122","DOI":"10.1016\/S2352-4642(23)00289-4","article-title":"School bullying in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"8","author":"Abreg\u00fa-Crespo","year":"2024","journal-title":"Lancet Child Adolesc.
