Online harassment and cyberbullying in the Czech Republic: Comparison across age groups.

Abstract

The presented study is the first report on harassment and cyberbullying in the Czech Republic. The representative research was realized on the Czech population (N = 2215, of which 1470 were internet users) across all age groups (12 and above). In the sample, 10,1% of internet users claimed they were victims of online offending behavior and 4.8% of internet users said they were both victims and aggressors. Only 0.9% identified themselves as pure online aggressors. Ratios in the roles of victim and victim/bully varied across age groups.
