Cyber Bullying Experiences of Adolescents and Parental Awareness: Turkish Example

Influence of Family Variables on Cyberbullying Perpetration and Victimization: A Systematic Literature Review

“…However, Shaheen et al (2018) stated that the parents' job did not have an impact on the adolescents' bullying experience (cyber and traditional victimization was included). Finally, Uludasdemir and Kucuk (2018) also found no relationship between parental employment situations and cyberbullying perpetration or victimization.…”

“…Finally, Le et al (2017) identified the composition of the household as a predictor of perpetration behavior (cyber and traditional perpetration was included). However, the other research studies that took this variable into account did not find any relationship between the composition of the household and the probability of being a cybervictim or a cyberbullying perpetrator (Beyazit et al 2017;Doty et al 2017;Uludasdemir and Kucuk 2018).…”

“…However, in the study conducted by Chen et al (2018) only the mother's low level of education was associated with cyberbullying victimization. In addition, it was also found that parents with a high level of education increased the likelihood of cyberbullying perpetration and victimization (Uludasdemir and Kucuk 2018).…”

“…There were 6 (18%) studies which focused only on contextual family variables (Abdulsalam et al 2017;Çakır et al 2016;Chen et al 2018;Garmy et al 2018;Marret and Choo 2017;Shaheen et al 2018). However, there were 9 more studies (26%) which took into account such variables (Bevilacqua et al 2017;Beyazit et al 2017;Buelga et al 2017;Doty et al 2017;Garaigordobil and Machimbarrena 2017;Gómez et al 2017;Le et al 2017;Shams et al 2017;Uludasdemir and Kucuk 2018). The following variables were included: Family composition, family conflict, family's socioeconomic status, parents' education level, parental employment situation, family's home degree of rurality, parents' age, technological competence, stress, and parents' city of residence.…”

“…Starting with the household composition, the discrepancy between the studies could be due to two factors as follows: The country of origin of the sample and the type of instrument used. Two of the research samples of the studies which did not find any relationship between the composition of the household and cyberbullying, perpetration, and victimization, came from Turkey (Beyazit et al 2017;Uludasdemir and Kucuk 2018). In addition, these studies employed instruments less commonly used in research (e.g., Aricak et al 2008;Topçu and Erdur-Baker 2010).…”
