THE LEVEL OF CYBERBULLYING AMONG STUDENTS IN LIGHT OF SOME VARIABLES

Abstract

The current study aimed to determine the level of cyberbullying among a sample of students (victims), as well as to explore differences in the level of cyberbullying based on gender, age, and academic level. The study was conducted on 139 male and female students from the College of Social Sciences at Saida University. To achieve the study's objectives, a descriptive approach was employed, using a measurement tool in the form of a questionnaire to assess cyberbullying among the perpetrators (victims). The study results revealed a low level of cyberbullying among the study sample and statistically significant differences between students based on the gender variable in favour of males. However, no statistically significant differences were found in the study sample based on age and academic level variables. These results were discussed within the theoretical framework and existing literature.
