Theoretical Approaches To Explaining Cyberbullying

Abstract

Cyberbullying, also known as online harassment or trolling, is a pervasive issue that has gained significant attention in recent years. It involves the intentional and repeated infliction of harm or distress on others through electronic means, such as spreading rumors, sharing embarrassing content, or impersonating someone. Due to the limited amount of empirical research and theoretical investigations on this phenomenon, this paper focuses on the key theories that attempt to explain cyberbullying behavior.
