This article investigates cyberbullying in Brazilian adolescents and its relationship with early maladaptive schema (EMS). 273 Brazilian students participated in the study, completing the Revised Cyberbullying Inventory and the Young Schema Questionnaire, adapted to Brazilian reality. The results indicate that adolescents involved in cyberbullying, either as victims or victims-aggressors, had significantly higher scores in the majority of EMS than other young people. The victims and victim-aggressors had higher scores in abandonment, grandiosity and insufficient self-control schema than those not involved. The victims had higher scores in self-sacrifice and defectiveness than those not involved and higher scores than the aggressors in the defectiveness schema. The victims-aggressors had scores in mistrust, approval- seeking, negativity and unrelenting standards schema higher than those not involved. The article discusses the greater frequency of cyberbullying among girls and EMS as factors in the greater vulnerability of adolescents to cyber-victimization or cyber-aggression.
