Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Cyberbully'

With the movement of bullying behaviors from the traditional school yard context into a new realm enhanced by technology; cyberbullying is quickly becoming more invasive and detrimental to adolescents in the modern world, leading to suicides (Tremlow, 2008), depressive symptomology (Ybarra, Alexander, and Mitchell, 2005), and school avoidance issues (Ahlfors, 2010). A vast amount of existing studies focus solely on cyberbullying victimization or perpetration (Lenhart, Madden, Smith, Purcell, Zickuhr, and Rainie, 2011; Vandebosch and Cleemput, 2009). However, the current research available on bystander engagement, specifically on how bystanders engage when faced with incidents of cyberbullying, is much more limited. The study at hand specifically focuses on the type of engagement enacted by bystanders (pro-social, which involves helping the victim, or traditional, which is ignoring the cyberbullying) when witnessing cyberbullying on popular Social Networking Sites (SNSs). Using secondary data collected by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project from 2011 and using Latane and Darley's (1970) bystander engagement model, the current research explores factors (ex.: sex, age, previous victimization, parental monitoring techniques) that may influence different types of engagement outcomes from bystanders. Initial findings suggest that approximately 88% of youth between the ages of 12 and 17 have witnessed cyberbullying exchanges on-line. The results of this exploratory study find that about 62% of adolescents are acting pro-socially while 74% are acting traditionally. Findings from the research will provide insights regarding cyberbullying for future research as well as possible implications for educators, administrators, and health care professionals working to encourage pro-social bystander engagement among youth.

A presente investigação tem como principal objectivo avaliar a dimensão do cyberbullying em território português. Por ser um tema pouco debatido pelos media portugueses, procurou-se descobrir se as crianças e os jovens estão familiarizados com o conceito “cyberbullying” e se este fenómeno é já uma realidade no nosso país. A amostra é composta por 205 alunos do 4.º ao 11.º ano de escolaridade e com idades compreendidas entre os 9 e os 16 anos. 49 % dos alunos são do sexo feminino e 50 % do sexo masculino. Os resultados da investigação demonstram que, apesar de o cyberbullying ser ainda uma incógnita para a grande parte dos entrevistados, esta é já uma realidade também em Portugal, provando que este fenómeno não é próprio de uma só região ou localidade. Urbanas ou rurais, o cyberbullying já chegou a todos os cantos do país. A frase “Eu posso ver-te, mas tu não podes ver-me” nunca fez tanto sentido à medida que o cyberbullying se vai assumindo como um problema cada vez mais actual e real.

Cyberbullying has become an issue of concern during the past decade for schools, parents, students, and communities. Media attention to extreme instances of cyberbullying has resulted in misinformation. Myths abound about cyberbullying and accurate information can be hard to find. This study attempts to shed light on this controversial issue. Using the National Crime Victimization Survey: Student Crime Supplement, 2009, this research focuses on the cyberbullying victimization of Black students and White students in specific conditions. These include racial and gender differences, grades, attendance, school environment, and student perception of teacher attitudes towards them.

Within the last decade, increased media coverage has been given to incidents associated with acts of violence associated with bullying, cyber bullying, and other associated acts of incivility. The increased media coverage has garnered the attention of researchers from a diverse field of disciplines. However, much of the research that has been conducted has remained focused in North America and Europe. This study identified a limitation in the research available that focused on bullying in the Middle East region of the world, specifically the perceptions and experiences of cyber bullying behavior by female university students in the United Arab Emirates. The study employed a quantitative approach to the research. Participants in the study completed a survey, which collected data related to individuals’ personal experiences and perceptions pertaining to cyber bullying. The study employed the theoretical framework of Perception Theory, Symbolic Interaction Theory, and Conflict Theory. This study provides better understanding on the perceptions and experiences of cyber bullying experiences of female university students at Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates. A quantitative study with a sample size of 655 (n=655) participants, the study yielded responses that demonstrated a significant online social media presence of 90.3% (n=592), 47.39% (n= 291) have reported experiencing harassment online, and 95% reported a desire to create a kind and respectful online world. The information from this study will help the greater field of conflict resolution by gaining an understanding of the widespread impact of cyber bullying on an international level.

[cat] - Introducció El cyberbullying entre els infants i adolescents és un greu problema de Salut. No obstant això, l'evidència respecte als factors de risc que ho desencadenen, i la seva relació amb altres problemes de salut com el consum de substàncies és heterogènia. Els trets de personalitat podrien jugar un paper rellevant en la gènesi de la cibervictimització i el consum de substàncies. El propòsit d'aquest treball va ser tractar de determinar les relacions que s'estableixen entre els factors sociodemogràfics, els trets de personalitat, l'ús de xarxes socials i el consum de substàncies, amb la cibervictimització - Contingut de la investigació Es va dur a terme un estudi transversal amb 765 estudiants d'educació secundària pertanyents a 16 centres de l'Illa de Mallorca amb edats compreses entre els 14 i els 16 anys. Els joves van emplenar un qüestionari amb preguntes sociodemogràfiques, i sobre l'ús de tabac, alcohol, i xarxes socials. La cibervictimització va ser mesurada mitjançant l'Escala de Cibervictimización de Garaigordobil. El BFQ-NA (Big Five Questionnaire) va ser emprat per a mesurar els trets de personalitat. Es van dur a terme diversos models de regressió logística controlant per les diferents variables d'estudi, amb la finalitat d'observar la interacció i associació entre els diferents factors. Els resultats van indicar que un total de 305 estudiants (39,9%) van patir cyberbullying en l'últim any. Les noies van ser cibervictimitzades en major mesura que els nois (43.1% vs. 35.7%; p=0.04). Les cibervíctimes van presentar nivells més elevats de neuroticisme (0.16 vs. -0.23; p<=0.01) i extraversió (0.11 vs. -0.09; p<0.01=), i més reduïts en responsabilitat (-0.001 vs. 0.20; p<0.01=). A més, van passar més temps usant les xarxes socials (6h 30 min vs. 5h 16 min; p<0.01=). Les anàlisis multivariants van indicar que el temps d'ús de xarxes socials no es va associar de manera significativa amb ser victima de cibervictimització (OR = 1.11; 95% IC = 0.938–1.311; p=0.23), controlant pels trets de personalitat. En canvi, els trets de personalitat van mantenir la magnitud i significació de la seva associació amb la cibervictimització. Els estudiants cibervictimitzats van realitzar un major consum d'alcohol (OR = 1.99; 95% IC = 1.47–2.70; p<0.01=) i tabac (OR = 2.55; 95% IC = 1.28–5.05; p<0.01=) que els no-cibervictimitzats. Utilitzant el model de regressió logística per controlar pels trets de personalitat i les variables sociodemogràfiques, es va observar que els consumidors d'alcohol continuaven presentant un major risc de cibervictimització (OR = 1.51; 95% IC = 1.05–2.15; p=0.03). - Conclusió Les nostres troballes indiquen que la cibervictimización és un problema freqüent entre els adolescents a l'Illa de Mallorca i que s'associa amb altres conductes de risc com el consum de substàncies. El nostre estudi suggereix l'existència de factors de personalitat comuns subjacents a la cibervictimització i al consum de substàncies. Les intervencions centrades en l'entrenament d'estratègies d'afrontament adaptatives i la millora de comportaments socials podrien ser una via per a reduir el cyberbullying i el consum de substàncies entre els joves

[eng] Introduction Cyberbullying among children and adolescents is a major public health concern. However, the research on risk factors associated with cybervictimization, and its associations with health problems such as substance use is heterogeneous. Personality traits could play an important role in the genesis of cybervictimization and substance use. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of cybervictimization with sociodemographic factors, personality traits, use of social networks, and substance use. Research Content A cross-sectional study was conducted with 765 secondary students from 16 secondary schools in Majorca Island aged between 14 and 16 years. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing sociodemographic characteristics; tobacco and alcohol consumption; and use of social networks. Cybervictimization was measured by the Garaigordobil Cybervictimization Scale. BFQ-NA (Big Five Questionnaire) was used to assess personality traits. Several logistic regression models were fitted controlled for study variables to determine the associations and interactions among factors. The results indicate that a total of 305 students (39,9%) reported cybervictimization in the past year. Girls were more likely to be cyberbullied than boys (43.1% vs. 35.7%; p=0.04). Cybervictims had a greater emotional instability (0.16 vs. -0.23; p<0.01) and extraversion (0.11 vs. -0.09; p<0.01), and were less conscientious (-0.001 vs. 0.20; p<0.01). Moreover, spent more time in social networking sites than non-victims (6h 30 min vs. 5h 16 min; p<0.01). Multivariable Analysis indicated that social networking time was not significantly associated with cybervictimization (OR = 1.11; 95% IC = 0.938–1.311; p=0.23), after controlling for personality traits. However, personality traits remained significantly associated with cybervictim. Cybervictims had a significantly greater monthly alcohol (OR = 1.99; 95% IC = 1.47–2.70; p<0.01), and tobacco (OR = 2.55; 95% IC = 1.28–5.05; p<0.01) consumption than non-cybervictims students. The logistic regression model controlling for sociodemographic variables and personality traits also showed a greater risk of cybervictimization among alcohol users (OR = 1.51; 95% IC = 1.05–2.15; p=0.03). Conclusions Our findings indicate that cybervictimization is a frequent and relevant problem among adolescents in Majorca Island that is associated with other risk behaviors, such as substance use. Our study suggests the existence of underlying common personality factors for cybervictimization and substance use. Interventions focused on coping skills and improving social behaviors could be a way to reduce cyberbullying and substance use among young people.

Social network such as Facebook and Twitter have promoted communication between people , but some unusual social user overuse the social media like cyberbullying. Cyberbullying in social network will cause more negative effect than traditional bullying. For example, many tweets on Twitter can be read publicly by registered users around the world , so that cyberbullying messages can spread quickly. When a cyber criminal sends a text message to attack other social users, such behavior may involve cyberaggression and cyberbullying. In the past, the cyberbullying literature focused on a single text message to make the expert distinguish whether the cyber bullying or not. This situation is more like the criteria of cyber aggression. The criteria of the cyberbullying must include the imbalance of power and repetition, in order to consider the power of imbalance and repetition, the expert should not only use text message to identify cyberbullying, they must understand the whole information on the social network such as likes or replies in a tweet and the tweet that social user received recently. This study collects tweets and user information on the Twitter, and create three different feature group (text, user, social). Using Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Support Vectors three classifiers to build cyberbullying model.

En la última década, más que en cualquier otro tiempo, los avances tecnológicos han tenido un incremento inmensurable, abriendo puertas a un mundo sin barreras de comunicación, distancia o lengua. Tal avance envuelve una dinámica colectiva donde lo personal se vuelve público, donde los límites no están claramente definidos y la privacidad está reducida a su mínima expresión, dejando expuestos, vulnerables a las personas ante todo tipo de peligro. El objetivo del presente estudio es proponer una capacitación que ayude a aumentar el conocimiento sobre el control parental los cuales pueden ser utilizados para disminuir los riesgos a los que están expuestos los niños del Colegio Fundación Liceo Internacional para el año 2018. Para el desarrollo del mismo se realizó un estudio descriptivo con un enfoque cuantitativo. La muestra estuvo conformada por 20 padres de estudiantes a los cuales se les aplicó un instrumento tipo encuesta, con el cual se diagnosticó conocimientos tecnológicos y los conocimientos sobre las herramientas de control parental. Luego se les presentó un video sobre los riesgos y las herramientas de control parental, y se les aplicó un segundo instrumento, a fin de evaluar la percepción de los padres de familia sobre los beneficios de las mismas. Los resultados arrojados del diagnóstico se tienen que al principio la mayoría de los padres no tenían noción sobre los riesgos que sus hijos corren con el uso de internet. Luego del video, el 70% consideró que representa un alto riesgo, el 100% manifestaron interés en conocer sobre las herramientas de control parental y el 75% tuvo como preferencia el uso de Eset Parental Control. En función de los resultados arrojados se diseñó una capacitación dirigida a los padres de familia con el propósito de construir un entorno digital seguro y productivo a través de herramientas parentales para los estudiantes de 4to de Básica del Colegio Fundación Liceo Internacional.
