Abstract
A review of the literature reveals that current research has discovered that the severity of cyberbullying may be a result of the impact of many factors contributing to its prevalence and psychological and emotional effects on both cyberbullies and their victims. Most prominent among these factors include socio-demographic factors such as gender, age, socio-economic status, and the technology-related factor, anonymity. Despite the number of programs and legal procedures being implemented to manage and control cyberbullying, it continues to pose a problem among the youth. Further research is, therefore, needed to determine whether gender, age, socio-economic status, and the technology-related factor, anonymity, are interacting with each other in their impact on cyberbullying or whether other factors, not yet investigated, are interacting with the identified factors to cause the prevalence of cyberbullying.
