“…On the other hand, male students were more likely to be cyberbullying perpetrators, which may be explained by the fact that they are also more likely to be cyberbullying victims (Kokkinos et al 2014). Cyberbullying victimization has been reported to be one of the strong predictors of CBP both directly and indirectly via anger (Ak et al 2015). Moreover, Finigan-Carr et al (2016) suggest that there are significant gender differences in types of aggressive behaviors, and that male gender is more strongly associated with aggressive and violent behaviors compared to females.…”

Over the past two decades, young people's engagement in online activities has grown markedly. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between two specific online behaviors (i.e., cyberbullying perpetration, problematic social media use) and their relationships with social connectedness, belongingness, depression, and self-esteem among high school and university students. Data were collected from two different study groups via two questionnaires that included the Cyberbullying Offending Scale, Social Media Use Questionnaire, Social Connectedness Scale, General Belongingness Scale, Short Depression-Happiness Scale, and Single Item Self-Esteem Scale. Study 1 comprised 804 high school students (48% female; mean age 16.20 years). Study 2 comprised 760 university students (60% female; mean age 21.48 years). Results indicated that problematic social media use and cyberbullying perpetration (which was stronger among high school students) were directly associated with each other. Belongingness (directly) and social connectedness (indirectly) were both associated with cyberbullying perpetration and problematic social media use. Path analysis demonstrated that while age was a significant direct predictor of problematic social media use and cyberbullying perpetration among university students, it was not Int J Ment Health Addiction

“…Whereas, Aricak and Ozbay (2016) informed that individual difficulties to identify feelings (alexithymia) such as anger, could explain the increase in CB victimisation and perpetration. A study by Ak et al, 2015 indicated that the inability to appropriately express anger could increase the potential for cyber-victims to subsequently bully others as a form of revenge. There are gender differences; males who direct their anger inward are more likely to become cyber-bullies than females, and males who are victimised online are more likely to express their anger outward.…”

Purpose: To present a comparative summary of literature of the risk and preventative factors related to school bullying (SB) and cyber-bullying (CB), while identifying research gaps.Background: Literature on bullying appears to disagree whether CB should be considered as a different form of bullying or as a subtype of SB. Researchers, in an attempt to understand bullying, examined in depth numerous risk and preventive factors.Methods: Based solely on previous research papers, fourteen risk and preventative factors related to SB and likewise to CB, were selected on the basis that are most commonly indicated as strong factors in preceding works; each factor was searched for in relation to SB and CB separately, allowing a comparison of how each factor relates to SB and likewise to CB.Conclusions: Findings present a comparative picture of the factors related to SB and CB and provide a direction in the area of factors for fellow researchers wishing to develop antibullying strategies in the future. As expected the present study found that some factors are similarly related to SB as to CB, and others differentiate. Details of findings, limitations and implications are further discussed.

“…Other studies (Ak, Ozdemir, & Kuzucu, 2015;Aricak & Ozbay, 2016;Garaigordobil, 2015;Lonigrao et al, 2015) found positive relationship between anger as a personality trait and cyberbullying. They indicated that outward, explosive expression of anger appears to be common among cyberbullies.…”

The current study examines cyberbullying and victimization among African American college students who spend large amounts of time on the Internet and using their smartphones. In a survey of 321 African American college students, the most common venues for victimization occurred through text messages, phone calls, and social networking sites. Posting indiscreet images and sharing personal information with a large number of Facebook friends were positively associated with the victimization. Cyberbullying perpetration, as measured by Cyberbullying Questionnaire (CBQ), revealed a significant gender difference, with male students exhibiting higher prevalence. In a multiple regression analysis, the phenomenon of online disinhibition-a lessening of inhibitions during online interactions that would otherwise be present in face-to-face interactions-emerged as the strongest predictor of cyberbullying perpetration. Recommendations for future research include studying the negative impact of cyberbullying among African American adults, particularly in the workplace.
