† reference category ^E use with caution F too unreliable to be published * significantly different from reference category (p < 0.05) 1. Includes respondents aged 18 years and over. Respondents were asked if they had ever been the victim of cyber-bullying. As such, there is no time period for cyber-bullying. 2. Proportions are based upon all Canadians who used the Internet at least once during the 12 months preceding the survey. 3. Proportions are based upon Internet users who reported having made online purchases during the 12 months preceding the survey. 4. For cyber-bullying of adults, this category refers to persons aged 18 to 24. 5. Includes, for example, respondents who reported being retired, caring for children, household work, maternity/paternity leave, long-term illness, volunteering or "other" as their main activity. 6. Violent victimization includes sexual assault, robbery and assault. For more details on violent victimization, see Perreault and Brennan, 2010. 7. Answers were based upon the question: "How much do you trust people in your family?" using a 5-point scale with 1 being "Cannot be trusted at all" and 5 being "Can be trusted a lot". For the purposes of this analysis, answers 2 through 4 were combined into the category "Can be more or less trusted". Note: Excludes data for Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. "Don't know" and "Not stated" categories are included in totals but not shown in the table. Source: Statistics Canada, General Social Survey, 2009.
