Article Review 1: Cyberbullying and Suicidal Thoughts in Jordanian College
Students
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction
BLUF: <\/strong>In the journal entry “Cyberbullying and Cyberbullicide Ideation Among
Jordanian College Students” it is interesting as it talks about the major issue that is cyberbullying
and its ties with suicidal thoughs which has been referred to as “cyberbullicide”. The journal
entry gives us very important insights into how interactions online can influence our mental
health especially in marginalized groups.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it Connects to Social Sciences
<\/strong>Cyberbullying has been a big problem that affects mental health as well as relationships
and behavior. I think the study aligns with social science principles because it shows how online
interactions can really persuade our emotions and other things such as decision making and
mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Questions and Hypotheses
<\/strong>The main question that really stands out in this study is if cyberbullying really does lead
to suicidal thoughts and persuasion among Jordanian college students? The people behind the
research hypothesize that these students who have experienced cyberbullying are way more
likely to have suicidal thoughts in comparison to those who haven\u2019t.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Methods
<\/strong>The way they looked to answer this is they conducted a survey based study using a
quantitative research method. They gathered a lot important data from a group of Jordanian
college students and then asked them about their experiences with cyberbullying and their mental
health.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data and Analysis
<\/strong>They then used this data and analyzed using statistical methods to find similar patterns
and connections between cyberbullying and suicidal thoughts. The researchers used descriptive
statistics to understand how out there cyberbullying is and hypothetical statistics to see the
strength of the correlation in cyberbullying and suicidal thoughts and feelings.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it Connects to Course Concepts
<\/strong>The journal relates to key ideas that we\u2019ve discussed in the course such as digital
socialization and mental health impacts. It also comes into play with important discussions of policy and intervention and the importance for schools, families, and governments to take
cyberbullying as very serious concern.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its Impact on Marginalized Groups
<\/strong>The journal also shows us the struggles that marginalized groups such as students with
limited ability to reach to mental health resources on campus or off campus. It stresses the need
for culturally sensitive ways to address series threats such as cyberbullying and help young
people and students deal with its impacts.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contribution to Society
<\/strong>Giving more attention of the dangers of cyberbullying the research found can help raise
awareness about the mental health risks students and others alike face on the internet. It can also
help in the placement for stronger policies and education programs as well as the support of
systems that can reduce cyberbullying and its harmful effects.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion
<\/strong>This journal and its research give very important information on cyberbullying and how it
affects students\u2019 mental health. It also shows the urgent need for education and mental health
resources and stronger laws to help protect young students from being harassed on the internet.
In all schools, parents, and policymakers have to work alongside each other to make a moresafer
digital space for young people and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Article Review 2: Bridging Knowledge and Motivation in
Software Security: A Social Science Perspective
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction
BLUF: <\/strong>I looked at how developers gain security knowledge and what pushes them to use
it in Software Security in Practice: Knowledge and Motivation by Assal, Morkonda, Arif, and
Chiasson (2025). Based on my reading this study displays an important issue with current
cybersecurity. Tackling security issues demands not only technical fixes but also a knowledge of
the people who write the code.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Relation to Social Science Principles
<\/strong>There are many social science concepts of behavior, learning, and organizational impacts
and are all strongly related to my discussion. It involves human behavior, collaboration, and
personal motivation which are all key concepts in psychology and sociology. From what I read in
Assal et al. (2025), the study connects the gap between technological areas and the social
sciences by focusing on how developers learn and decide to apply security methods.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Research Questions and Hypotheses <\/strong>A question I picked up on is how the authors wanted to discover where developers learn
<\/strong>about security and what encourages or discourages them from using it in their work. They
hypothesized that learning experiences and both internal and external motivating factors
influence the decisions made by developers. If security is an important part of their workflow or
an afterthought depends on these factors.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Methods
<\/strong>Software engineers from different backgrounds participated in semi structured interviews
done by Assal et al. (2025) as part of their qualitative research. The researchers were able to
gather extensive and detailed data regarding individual behaviors, experiences, and difficulties
when using secure coding techniques thanks to this method.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data and Analysis
<\/strong>In their study to find patterns in narrative data they used thematic coding to look at the
interviews. This helped them discover and find common traits that can influence
developers approaches to security, including time restrictions, lack of consistent training, and
reliance on peer learning (Assal et al., 2025).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it connects to Course Concepts
<\/strong>The article affirms a number of important ideas from our course including the importance
of drive in cybersecurity and the notion of “security culture.” It also reinforces the notion that
human aspects must be taken into account for security to be completely successful which is a
point that social science debates of cyber conduct have placed an important focus on.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Impact on Marginalized Groups<\/strong> I noticed that the journal points out that access to high quality security education and
mentorship can possibly be unequal even though it does not specifically study underrepresented
communities. The report stresses the need to make sure that all developers regardless of
experience have fair access to trustworthy, inclusive security resources by pointing out how
developers usually rely on informal learning (Assal et al., 2025).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it contributes to Society
<\/strong>By giving a more deep and human centered approach to cybersecurity study I think helps
society. I think that creating a stronger cyber security needs businesses to look past technological
improvements and take into account how environment, learning, and motivation and other
aspects shape secure behavior (Assal et al., 2025).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion
<\/strong>A strong argument for applying behavioral and motivational data into cybersecurity
measures was presented by Assal et al. (2025). Based on their results building a secure software
is a human task as well as a technical one, affected by how people interact, learn, and get
meaning from their work. I think this focused on people approach gives a way forward for
cybersecurity tactics that are more inclusive and successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
