“…While experiences of being bullied and cyberbullied have often been studied separately, there have been calls for cyberbullying to be viewed as a form of bullying and one which should be studied as part of a broader 'bullying context' (Olweus & Limber, 2018). Studying both experiences of being bullied and cyberbullied in parallel allows us to understand the unique and combined impact of these different bullying experiences (e.g., Gualdo, Hunter, Durkin, Arnaiz, & Maquilón, 2015).…”

The aim of the study was to test the relationship between experiences of being bullied, cyberbullied, and mental health difficulties, and whether these relationships are moderated by perceived social support and gender. Data were collected from 3737 year 8 pupils (aged 12 and 13 years; 50.1% male) using an online questionnaire. Measures of bullying victimization, perceived social support, and mental health difficulties were included in the online questionnaire. Moderation analyses were conducted to test whether the relationships between being bullied, cyberbullied, and mental health difficulties were moderated by perceived social support and gender. Four models were estimated, each assessing a different source of perceived social support (from family, friends and peers, professional sources, and the perception of having no support). Results of these analyses indicated that across all four models being bullied was significantly associated with mental health difficulties, and being cyberbullied was only significantly associated with poorer mental health difficulties in girls in one of the models. The different sources of perceived social support did not moderate the relationship between experiences of being bullied or cyberbullied and mental health difficulties for either boys or girls. However, significant associations were found between a perceived lack of support, perceived social support from friends and family, and mental health difficulties in girls, but not in boys. The results contribute to a complex body of research findings exploring the role of perceived social support in the relationship between experiences of being bullied and mental health difficulties.Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.

“…Moreover, students applied externalizing approaches in order to resolve these situation, which usually included approaching the stressor (De Leeuw et al, 2018). Usually, the victims lack emotion regulation skills and therefore, reactive aggression is an expected outcome, which is negatively correlated with sadness (Giménez Gualdo, Hunter, Durkin, Arnaiz, & Maquilón, 2015). Two groups of victims were emerged based on deviant behaviour and reactions.…”

2020) Victim no more: a temporal-causal analysis of how a mediator can help out a bullying victim, Journal of Information and Telecommunication, 4:2, 229-250, ABSTRACTBullying is an intentional abusive behaviour, caused by a power imbalance, which can leave long-lasting effects over the mental and physical health of a victim. In order to combat such situations, victims need someone that can help them, a mediator who is able to reduce the oppression. This paper presents temporal-causal network models related to victimization and its support, based upon social and cognitive literature. The aim of the study is to explore responses of a victim after being bullied and how a mediator can support a victim. Here, a 'fight or fly strategy' is presented along with the role of mediator in order to support a victim. Subsequently, the model is tuned and analysed with respect to derived empirical data. Lastly, simulation experiments are compared with a publically available dataset, to verify the behaviour of the model. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…being cruel to others by engaging in socially aggressive behaviour using the Internet or other digital technologies (Hinduja and Patchin, 2008) and since this work is also focused on the same theme this is the definition used here. It should be noted however that other definitions place stricter requirements before the activity can be considered cyberbullying as opposed to the broader definition of online aggression: the repetition of the behavior over time, an imbalance of power between the perpetrator and the victim and finally the intention to do harm (Giménez Gualdo et al, 2015;Smith et al, 2008), although the importance of some or all of these aspects is questioned (Cuadrado-Gordillo, 2012;Slonje et al, 2013a). A further active topic of debate is how to define repetition or even power imbalances in online activity as opposed to normal bullying (Slonje et al, 2013b).…”

“…The consequences of cyberbullying in general can result in number of negative outcomes such as poor performance in school (Hinduja and Patchin 2008), fear (Giménez Gualdo et al, 2015), stress, loneliness and depression (Ortega et al, 2012). It is not just a problem for children either, cyberbullying has shown to have negative effects in the workplace too (Daniels and Bradley, 2011;Moore et al, 2012).…”

One major problem with cyberbullying research is the lack of data, since researchers are traditionally forced to rely on survey data where victims and perpetrators self-report their impressions. In this paper, an automatic data collection system is presented that continuously collects in-game chat data from one of the most popular online multi-player games: World of Tanks. The data was collected and combined with other information about the players from available online data services. It presents a scoring scheme to enable identification of cyberbullying based on current research. Classification of the collected data was carried out using simple feature detection with SQL database queries and compared to classification from AI-based sentiment text analysis services that have recently become available and further against manually classified data using a custom-built classificationclient built for this paper. The simple SQL classification proved to be quite useful at identifying some features of toxic chat such as the use of bad language or racist sentiments, however the classification by the more sophisticated online sentiment analysis services proved to be disappointing. The results were then examined for insights into cyberbullying within this game and it was shown that it should be possible to reduce cyberbullying within the World of Tanks game by a significant factor by simply freezing the player's ability to communicate through the in-game chat function for a short period after the player is killed within a match. It was also shown that very new players are much less likely to engage in cyberbullying, suggesting that it may be a learned behaviour from other players.
