Abstract:

In this study, a literature review was conducted in order to determine the variables related to cyberbullying and the strategies proposed to cope with this problem. The review of the literature was limited between 2010 and 2017 in order to access up-to-date information. As a result of examining Web of Science database and the reference lists of the articles reached, 55 articles that fit the scope of the study have been identidfied and analyzed. Results revealed that gender, anonymity, moral disengagement, traditional bullying, frequency of internet use, family relations, cyber victimization, empathy and perceived social support were found to be factors related to cyberbullying. Studies suggest empathy-based interventions, anger management, cyberbullying intervention programs, media literacy, in-school interventions and family interventions when coping with cyberbullying.
