More Cyberbullying, Less Happiness, and More Injustice—Psychological Changes During the Pericyberbullying Period: Quantitative Study Based on Social Media Data

Cyberbullying is a growing global phenomenon, with the prevalence of cyberbullying experiences increasing significantly over the past 2 decades [1]. In today’s highly interconnected world, anyone can become a survivor of cyberbullying [2]. Cyberbullying refers to the use of digital technologies to intentionally harm others, either directly or indirectly. When the survivor perceives the perpetrator’s intent as deliberate and experiences harm, they are considered a survivor of cyberbullying [3].

Cyberbullying, defined as the use of electronic communication technologies to bully others [11,12], is widespread among youth, with 59% of US teens reporting that they have experienced online victimization [13].

Implications and Preventions of Cyberbullying and Social Exclusion in Social Media: Systematic Review

Implications and Preventions of Cyberbullying and Social Exclusion in Social Media: Systematic Review

Cyberbullying relates a cyberaggression event to a cybervictim, and correlates to a history of abuse where the opposing parties know each other on a personal level [5]. This implication does not hold for general cyberaggression [5]. As we are investigating cyberbullying and not cyberaggressions at large, it is important to recognize this distinction. Discourse surrounding cyberbullying is still new and has only seen consistent studies from 2007 to 2020 [3,5,6].

A recently published meta-analysis found that intervention and prevention programs for cyberbullying can reduce cyberbullying victimization [11]. Furthermore, some traditional antibullying programs have also proven to have an effect on cyberbullying [12,13].
