The Impact

Building on the research of Chesney, Coyne, Logan, and Madden (2009), this paper examines griefing within the virtual online community of Second Life via an online survey of 86 residents (46% men). Results suggested that griefing was deemed to be an unacceptable, persistent negative behavior which disrupted enjoyment of the environment and which was experienced by 95% of the sample, with 38% classified as frequent victims and 20% classified as perpetrators. No differences emerged in rates between gender (real life and second life), age, and time as a resident in Second Life. A number of self, player- and game-influenced motivations were judged to promote griefing, with respondents overall split on the impact of griefing when compared to traditional bullying. Further, respondents felt that a shared responsibility to control griefing was needed with individuals, residents as a community, and Second Life developers all playing a part. Discussion of the findings in relation to cyber-bullying in general is presented.

This study examined the associations of timing of sexual orientation developmental milestones, gender role nonconformity, and family-related factors with victimization of traditional and cyber sexuality-related bullying during childhood among gay and bisexual men in Taiwan, in addition to the moderating effects of family-related factors on these associations. A total of 500 homosexual or bisexual men aged between 20 and 25 years were recruited into this study. The associations of early identification of sexual orientation, early coming out, level of masculinity, parental education levels, and perceived family support with victimization of traditional and cyber sexuality-related bullying were evaluated. Early identification of sexual orientation, low self-rated masculinity, and low family support were significantly associated with victimization of traditional bullying. Moreover, low family support, early coming out, and traditional bullying victimization were significantly associated with victimization of cyber bullying. Family support did not moderate the associations of early identification of sexual orientation and low masculinity with victimization of traditional bullying or cyberbullying. The factors associated with victimization of traditional and cyber sexuality-related bullying should be considered when mental health and educational professionals develop prevention and intervention strategies to reduce sexuality-related bullying.

<p>This was a retrospective study of cyber-bullying. Students enrolled in a first year course were selected to provide opinions on the issue of cyber-bullying as it pertained to social networking sites and young people. A mixed methods approach was applied to this study. Questionnaires provided quantitative data, and a focus group provided data for qualitative analysis. It was evident that students felt that cyber-bullying was not as prevalent as traditional bullying; however, it was identified as a serious issue. In relation to gender, traditional bullying was considered to be a problem for boys, more than cyber-bullying, whereas for girls cyber-bullying was considered to be a problem, more than traditional bullying. Social networking sites, solely, were not common tools used in cyber-bullying. Generally cell phones or a combination of cell phones and social networking sites were used. It was determined the age group at most risk from cyber-bullying to be early high school. Raising awareness of cyber-bullying was considered essential for prevention.</p>

Abstract Background:Despite being a widely debated health issue in several countries around the globe, in Morocco there is still little research on this phenomenon of cyber bulling.To examine the occurrence of cyber bullying among students in middle schools in Rabat area and to discover risk factors among students’ cyberbullying profiles is the main purpose of the present study.Methods: The study that is a cross sectional one is based on a nameless self –report questionnaire about subjected cyber bullying in the course of the previous twelve months. Indeed, it was in16 middle –schools in the urban areas of Rabat that data were collected. Aged 12 to 16 years, a number of 1914 students took part in the survey.Seeking the interconnection between the cyber bulling groups and independent variables we used a Multinomial Logistic Regression.Results:Cyber bullying has been announced by 54,5%(n=1043) CI 95% (52,26-56,72) of the sample, of which 18,8%(n=360), being victims only, 11,7% (n=224) being perpetrators only, and 24,0% (n=459) being perpetrators/victims. But there wasn’t any important difference to be mentioned in profile between genders. Text messages and exclusion from internet groups were the most common genre of cyber bullying behavior. Concerning traditional bullying, the prevalence were 35% (n=669) of whom 16,4% (n=313) victims only, 7,6% (n=145) perpetrators only and 11%(n=211) perpetrators/victims. Our research showed that traditional bullying was the basic risk factor of cyber bullying. Conclusion:In brief cyber bullying is one of the most widely spread phenomenon among adolescents in middle schools in Rabat area. Being involved in traditional bullying is the main risk. Consequently, urgent is the need to take actions against it either to eradicate violence in schools or at least reduce it.

At the same time, an ugly and dangerous phenomenon called cyber bullying has reared its head. In this chapter, the authors discuss various aspects of this phenomenon, including, but not limited to, incidence rates, comparison to traditional bullying, risk factors for being involved either as a bully or a victim, how it affects its victims, relevant legal aspects, and most importantly, how to defend against it.
