Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron determinar la prevalencia del ciberbullying entre los participantes del es tudio, así como conocer el impacto psicológico tanto en cibervíctimas como en ciberagresores, analizando además las diferencias de género de dicho impacto. La muestra estuvo constituida por 639 estudiantes de la Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, seccional Bucaramanga, con una media de edad de 17,6 años (chicos N = 303, chicas N = 334). Para ello se emplearon los siguientes instrumentos: (a) Escala de ciberagresiones; (b) Escala de cibervictimización; y (c) Symptom Assessment-45 Questionnaire (SA-45). Los resultados evidencian que un 27,5% de la muestra ha sido agredida en alguna ocasión, así como que 26,7% ha sido acosador durante el último año. Por otro lado, los resultados demostraron que existe un impacto psicológico (escalas del SA-45) tanto en las cibervíctimas, como en los ciberagresores. Respecto a las diferencias de género en ciberbullying se evidenciaron solo en algunas escalas (primordialmente depresión, ansiedad, sensibilidad interpersonal y somatización), aunque no fueron significativas entre los síntomas psicológicos reportados en este estudio (salvo en las escalas relacionadas con Somatización y Ansiedad fóbica)
