‘It's an ordinary matter’: perceptions of cyberbullying in Thai youth culture

Analysis of Moral Disengagement as a Modulating Factor in Adolescents’ Perception of Cyberbullying

“…The studies that address the conceptualization that adolescents make of cyberbullying indicate that anonymity is one of their main defining criteria of cyberbullying (Udris, 2014; Barlett et al, 2016; Samoh et al, 2019). Nevertheless, for Spanish adolescents who are victims of cyberbullying, the intentionality to cause harm is the key element that allows them to identify the presence of this phenomenon.…”

“…Researchers use a particular set of criteria to differentiate an episode of cyberbullying from an act of cyber-aggression – power imbalance, intentionality to hurt, repetition, publicity, and anonymity (Thomas et al, 2015). Adolescents have not only established a hierarchy of these criteria (Talwar et al, 2014; Barlett et al, 2016; Wright et al, 2017; Samoh et al, 2019), but have also constructed synergistic pairwise relationships among them (Nocentini et al, 2010; Palladino et al, 2017; Fernández-Antelo and Cuadrado-Gordillo, 2018). In this sense, studies indicate that although adolescents point to repetition of the aggression as being an identifying criterion for cyberbullying (Thomas et al, 2017), they generally consider it to be a second-order factor dependent on other primary factors such as publicity or intentionality to hurt.…”

“…The first relates to "canceling" those who fail to meet the standards for behavior and appearance. Adolescents, through cyberbullying, highlight in their peers aspects that are sensitive for feeling recognized, especially attributes that fail to meet social standards for behavior 26,27,42,43,47,49,50,52,54,56,61,67,68 , aesthetic production 26,27,43,47,49,50,52,53,54,56,58,62 , and sexual orientation 26,27,29,46,49,54,56,64 . Victims are attacked because they are different, and because of what others think of them, as a function of socially established ways of being 26,27,29,42,43,49,54,56,65,67,68 .…”

“…Victims are attacked because they are different, and because of what others think of them, as a function of socially established ways of being 26,27,29,42,43,49,54,56,65,67,68 . In the reports, the adolescents assign a certain degree of responsibility to the victims themselves for being attacked, claiming that they are the ones who decide to be different, or that they have done something that led to the attack 27,29,42,50,56,58,61,68 .…”
