“…The present study used a quantitative cross-sectional survey design to determine the prevalence of different forms of bullying in educational institutions of Pakistan. Many of the referenced researchers noted that the prevalence of bullying and its subtypes in educational institutions in Pakistan is understudied [ 6 , 34 , 35 , 49 , 50 ]. The purpose of this study was to fill this gap by expanding the knowledge about bullying and its categories in Pakistani educational institutions.…”

“…Murshid (2017) and Musharraf and Anis-ul-Haque (2018) reported that victimization is the major cause of mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression among youth in Pakistan, while low to middle-income countries like Pakistan have limited resources to address such mental issues [ 47 , 48 ]. It is recommended in recent publications [ 6 , 35 , 49 , 50 ] to build support centers in academic settings to deal with bullying and cyberbullying situations and to implement anti-bullying interventions. The goal of these centers is to raise students’ awareness of prevention and coping measures.…”

“…The advent of technology and frequent internet usage has introduced a more technologically-oriented form of aggression known as cyber aggression [ 6 ].

Increasing reports of bullying and cyberbullying in schools in recent years are undeniable and have been recognized as a serious public health problem. Conventional bullying and cyberbullying are not only a problem in higher educational institutions in Pakistan, but also in primary and secondary schools. Although statistics show higher levels of bullying and cyber-risky behaviors among youth, policies and interventions to control the consequences of conventional and cyberbullying are rare in the Pakistani context. This study explores teachers’ perspectives and experiences in identifying bullying strategies in different school contexts. Four hundred fifty-four teachers working in different educational institutions completed an online survey that provided data to draw conclusions and to get a better sense of the situation in educational institutions in Pakistan. According to the results, teachers experience verbal and social bullying more frequently than online and physical bullying. In addition, teachers in lower grades reported noticing more physical bullying than teachers in higher grades. Facebook was reported to be the most common platform students used to bully each other. Researchers also found significant differences between rural and urban teachers’ experiences with social bullying. Bullying intervention strategies should be developed and integrated into educational settings in Pakistan. The data presented will be used to develop tailored anti-bullying interventions that are culturally and socially appropriate for Pakistani educational settings.

“… Shapira et al (2003) has defined Internet dependence as, “A behavioral addiction characterized by symptoms such as inability to restrict excessive use, continued use despite psychological, physical, and social damage and feelings of anxiety, aggression, and extreme irritability when Internet access is restricted”. Researches have revealed that dependent individuals have more health, work, psychosocial, family, and financial problems compared with non-dependent individuals ( Jun and Choi, 2015 ; Siddiqui et al, 2021a ).…”

The world has changed drastically in terms of telecommunication, running online businesses and daily life activities to keep social distancing and to perform the regular everyday tasks since the pandemic COVID-19. Governments have several times declared smart, partial or full lockdowns to deal with the health crisis situation, that has impacted the social activities, gatherings and has impacted the functionality of several professions, including education that are directly or indirectly impacted by the lockdowns. In the education environment the students in large numbers are expected to gather for lectures, labs and meet folks from industry and/or other sectors. The lockdown required the teachers to come up with alternative to meeting in person to online meetings and adapting to online-synchronous and asynchronous teaching styles. To meet the targets set for an academic year, a distinctive rise in e-learning has been observed where teaching and learning is undertaken remotely using digital platforms. This study aims to reveal the impact of computer-assisted teaching on the development of technostress among Pakistani teachers during the pandemic COVID-19. In addition, the role of teachers’ self-efficacy is evaluated and motivation to leave the teaching profession is investigated in the coming endemic climate. The researchers have opted to a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey to generalize the statistically obtained results and test hypotheses. A total of 242 teachers at different levels of education voluntarily participated in the research during the lockdown from March to April 2020, where all regular educational activities were suspended and online classes were introduced as an alternative way to meet educational goals. The findings revealed that Learning Teaching Process Oriented and Technical Issues Oriented are the main contributing factors towards the development of technology stress and motivation to leave the teaching profession. Moreover, teachers' perception of self-efficacy in using computers is negatively associated with technology stress. It is recommended that computer-based instructional coaching be designed for teachers prior to engaging them in digitally oriented online courses to improve their self-efficacy in using computers and to promote a well-developed digital infrastructure to avoid the development of technology stress and discouragement for tutelage.

“…Mental health professionals and teachers emphasized their attention on the phenomenon of internet addiction and recognized it as resulting in an educational and occupational impairment (Kim et al, 2010;Nalwa & Anand, 2003) relational and social difficulties (Seo et al, 2009) economic difficulties (Yang & Tung, 2007) neurological and psychological health issues (Young, 2004). Many studies have suggested that the relationship of internet addiction and aggression must be studied further (Terroso et al, 2022;Siddiqui et al, 2021;Khatoon et al, 2018;Fengqiang et al, 2016;Ko et al, 2009;Odacı & Çelik, 2013). Researchers in Pakistan have ignored the role of family relations in this context.…”

The current study aimed to find out relationship between internet addiction, aggression and family relations in university students. Moreover, the study also examined the mediating role of family relations between internet addiction and aggression among university students. The University students were recruited as sample as researchers have found that majority of young adults use internet as time pass and become addicted but they are not aware of the addition (Hassan et al., 2020). Cross-sectional survey research design was used and data was collected through purposive sampling technique using Internet Addiction Test (Young, 1998), Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992) and Index of Family Relations (Hudson, 1992). In addition, gender differences were also studied. Sample comprised of 300 students between the age of 18 and 35 years (M = 29.09, SD = 11.32). Bivariate correlation matrix revealed that internet addiction had significant positive relationship with aggression (r = 0.88, p < 0.01) and significant negative relationship with family relations (r = -0.86, p < 0.01). Moreover, mediating role of family relations was found to be significant in relationship between internet addiction and aggression among university students. However, gender differences were found to be non-significant on internet addiction, family relations and aggression among university students. The study will be useful in highlighting the importance of good family relations in minimizing adverse effects of internet addiction and aggression among university students.
