This article focuses on how technology has the ability to influence\u00a0behavior, and\u00a0give\u00a0individuals a sense of power. It connects principles of sociology and psychology\u00a0because,\u00a0it analyzes how online environments are able to shape communication and social interaction.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The authors developed five research questions with the goal of: defining cyberbullying,\u00a0identifying\u00a0its causes, and assessing the psychological impact it may have. They use the PRISMA framework\u00a0to \u00a0review\u00a0seventy one\u00a0studies that were published between 2007 and 2022. The systematic approach provided by the framework allowed them to compare both quantitative and qualitative findings across multiple populations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0 Their results showed that researchers often define and measure cyberbullying in inconsistent\u00a0ways\u00a0which makes it difficult to compare studies or design interventions to lessen its effect. They also found relationships between personality traits &#8211; such as narcissism and psychopathy\u00a0and,\u00a0the likelihood of them engaging in or experiencing cyberbullying. These findings connect to social science concepts like moral disengagement and group behavior.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0The review also mentioned that some communities,\u00a0like \u00a0women\u00a0and LGBTQ+ individuals, have higher victimization rates yet they are underrepresented within digital research. This highlights the need for more inclusive methods for surveying online experiences.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Overall, the study contributes to social science by revealing the need for a standardized framework for defining and studying cyberbullying. It encourages future researchers to also consider people of different demographics\u00a0and,\u00a0to create prevention strategies that align with both psychological and sociological perspectives on digital interaction.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Link to article:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/cybersecurity\/article\/10\/1\/tyae026\/7928395?searchresult=1<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyberbullying on Social Media: Definitions, Prevalence, and Impact Challenges\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The authors within this article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29587,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/turnerasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/233"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/turnerasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/turnerasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/turnerasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29587"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/turnerasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/turnerasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":306,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/turnerasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/233\/revisions\/306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/turnerasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
