The Effects of Cyberbullying on Children's School Adjustment
Abstract
Bullying is commonplace in many schools. For many it is an every-day occurrence with eight out of ten children reporting that they have been the victim of bullying in the previous month (Swayer, Bradshaw, & Brennan, 2008) and technology is increasingly being used as a medium to victimize (Dehue, Bolman, & Vollnick, 2008). This chapter will begin by providing a brief overview of bullying behavior and then discuss the differences between cyberbullying and more traditional forms of bullying. Prevalence rates from a range of studies will be presented and discussed. The chapter will then discuss the consequences of experiencing cyberbullying for children’s psychosocial and school adjustment and discuss how cyberbullying may need to be considered by researchers and practitioners with the increase in interactive learning. Finally, the chapter will discuss strategies to reduce children’s experiences of bullying, including some that make use of interactive learning.
