Cyber-Harassment Survey

Abstract

Results from this survey determine the nature and extent of various forms of cyber-bullying among ethnically diverse adolescents. Also, both the emotional and behavioral impact of being cyber-bullied is measured. There are a total of 15 self-administered items rated on a 5 point scale. A total of 432 students (193 boys and 239 girls) in grades 7–9 were selected from nine junior high schools from middle class, ethnically diverse communities in Calgary. Schools were randomly selected and only those adolescents with signed consent were permitted to participate. A research assistant administered questionnaires to students in class and informed them that they were not obligated to complete the questionnaire and not to record their names to ensure anonymity.
