“…Abeele and Cock (2013) reviewed previous research and identified two different types of cyberbullying: direct virtual bullying of the victim (e.g., sending threatening messages directly to the victim) and indirect or relational cyber bullying (e.g., gossiping without the victim's knowledge). Furthermore, Qing (2015) suggests that new forms of technology pose further challenges for defining cyberbullying. Inconsistencies in study results can lead to inaccurate estimates of the prevalence of cyberbullying.…”

Objectives: This study explored a multidimensional model of the relationships between social media use, gender, peer bullying victimization experiences, and the onset of anxiety symptoms among children. We hypothesized that greater experience of bullying would be associated with greater onset of anxiety. We also expected that gender and social media use (specifically Instagram and YouTube) would be linked with anxiety among elementary school children. To test this hypothesis, a structural equation modeling approach was used.Methods: A total of 456 elementary children aged 11–13 years from nine schools were recruited for this research. We used two psychological measures: The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) and the Personal Experience Checklist (PECK) as well as a sociodemographic questionnaire (general demographic information and social media-related information).Results: The social media usage survey found that all participants (100%) used social media. Instagram (52.42%) and YouTube (47.58%) were the platforms most used by the participants. The Structural Equation Model results suggest that bullying victimization and gender predicted the onset of anxiety in elementary school children. The model explained 32.1% of the variance of the outcome with very adequate fit indicators based on most indices, χ2 = 173.56, df = 52, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.92; TLI = 0.94; RMSEA = 0.07 (90% CI: 0.06–0.08). Instagram use was correlated positively with generalized anxiety disorder. Gender was negatively correlated with Instagram use and positively correlated with YouTube use. Girls were found to use Instagram more and boys were found to use YouTube more. It was also found that girls had higher scores onSCARED dimensions, except for school avoidance. Girls were more prone to onset of anxiety than boys, except for school avoidance, which was not related to gender. Boys were found to experience significantly more physical bullying than girls. On the other hand, girls were found to experience more panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and social anxiety than boys.Conclusion: This study found that bullying victimization significantly influences the onset of anxiety in children. Particular attention should be paid to cyberbullying in this context. This study also found a link between gender and anxiety—girls had a greater tendency to experience the onset of various types of anxiety, including panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and social anxiety. Gender was also correlated with the form of bullying victimization. The findings of this study suggest that boys were more likely to experience physical bullying than girls. Interestingly, we found that Instagram use was significantly correlated with developing separation anxiety. In particular, children demonstrated school avoidance when experiencing cyberbullying. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

Background of the Study The exponential development of Information and communication technologies have increased the access to unlimited information sharing and in the midst of recent decade has drastically changed individuals' social communications, learning techniques and entertainment choices. Most notably, technology innovation has created new specialized communication instruments. The devices are especially prioritized by youngsters, who extensively utilize websites, web cams, chat rooms, emails, instant messaging, social networking sites and texting (Boyd, 2008). Adolescence is the period of identity formation, self-exploration and experimentation and also is most often associated with their social environment for the growth of their personality (Hinduja & Patchin, 2013). Adolescents yearn for opportunities to project behaviors and tendencies which gain prominence in valuing themselves positively. Moreover, nowadays they have greater access than ever before to the internet, which is seen as a normal and necessary part of their day to day lives to interact with the social world (Kowalski, Limber, & Agatston, 2012). The internet gives countless potential outcomes towards development of children and youth, including benefits such as social support and acceptance, identity exploration, and development of interpersonal and critical thinking skills, as well as educational and instructive advantages produced from far reaching access information, scholastic support, and worldwide multifaceted communications (Blais, Craig, Pepler, & Connolly, 2008). However, they come with certain drawbacks of concurrently being a potential site for abuse and victimization. The very nature of cyber environment due to its frequent uncensored and unmonitored usage have potent adversaries and has paved the way for new types of aggression, hostility, exploitation and victimization of being bullied online henceforth perpetrating against the nation's youngster and youth populace.
