Cyber and school bullying: Same or different phenomena?

Possible common correlates between bullying and cyber-bullying among adolescents

“…Nevertheless, not all studies support these arguments, since other findings indicate that cyber-bullying/victimization also involves a number of students who have no participation in traditional bullying/victimization (e.g., McLoughlin, Meyricke, & Burgess, 2009), as well as students who participate with different or multiple roles (e.g., Mishna, Khoury-Kassabri, Gadalla, & Daciuk, 2012). The aforementioned differences have been frequently attributed to the distinct characteristics of ICTs and the perceived safety that they provide to users (Antoniadou & Kokkinos, 2015a). Similarly to traditional 2 bullying, cyber-bullying may cause discomfort, depression, and anxiety to the victim, while it may involve other participants as well, who support and/or observe those involved, or even adopt a dual role (i.e., bully-victims; Kowalski, Limber, & Agatston,2008).…”

According to the first position, cyber-bullying/victimization and traditional bullying/victimization have significant high correlations (e.g., Hinduja & Patchin, 2008), and factor analyses indicate that the items for their assessment load into common factors (Bauman & Newman, 2013;Olweus, 2012), while it has been suggested that only a small number of students is involved exclusively in cyber-bullying/victimization incidents (Olweus, 2012).…”

Associations of Bullying and Cyberbullying With Substance Use and Sexual Risk Taking in Young Adults

“…Although the debate whether bullying and cyberbullying represent one unified or two different phenomena with diverse and distinct precedents characteristics is still on (Antoniadou & Kokkinos, ; Hutson, ), involvement in bullying and cyberbullying is a major public health concern due to the consequences in mental and physical health, as well as in the social life of individuals throughout their lifespan (Niemelä et al., ; Vessey et al., ).…”

Empathy in Traditional and Cyber Bullying/Victimization Involvement From Early to Middle Adolescence: A Cross Sectional Study

“…It is interesting to further investigate if CB and CV involvement (taking place in a context with limited nonverbal signs that decreases the likelihood of empathy manifestation), is related in the same way to both empathy dimensions as does the involvement in TB/TV, and furthermore, what correlation patterns are observed across age and gender. While research systematically shows a significant correlation between CB and TB on one hand, and CV and TV on the other, recent evidence suggests that the phenomena and their risk factors might differ due to the context of implementation (Antoniadou & Kokkinos, 2015). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of affective and cognitive empathy with the involvement in TB, TV, CB and CV from early to middle adolescence, among participants attending the final elementary school grades, junior high (Note 1), and senior high school (Note 2) in a cross-sectional design.…”
