Summary
This paper addresses the largely Western-dominated research landscape on cyberbullying by examining cross-cultural variations in the phenomenon across Europe and beyond. The authors discuss methodological challenges in comparing cyberbullying rates and characteristics internationally, drawing on research from Asian Pacific Rim countries, South-East Asia, and other regions. The work suggests that understanding how cyberbullying differs across societal contexts requires careful attention to both definitional consistency and cultural variation.
UK applicability
As a European study with focus on international comparisons, findings are directly relevant to UK policy and research contexts. The paper's examination of methodological challenges in cross-national comparison is particularly applicable to UK efforts to harmonise cyberbullying research and policy with European counterparts.
Key measures
Cyberbullying and victimisation rates by country; demographic characteristics (age, gender); methodological comparability across nations
Outcomes reported
The study examined societal and cross-national variations in cyberbullying and victimisation rates, characteristics (including age and gender differences), and methodological challenges in comparing cyberbullying phenomena across different countries.
