The purpose of this study is to understand the current situation of cyber-bullying among junior high students, and to investigate the associations among background variables, cyber-bullying victimization, perceived school environment, perceived risk of victimization, and fear of cyber-bullying victimization. This study collected data by questionnaire. Sample consisted of 628 students from the public and private junior high schools in Chiayi. This study got the following results: (1 ) 14.6% of subjects had experienced at least one kind of cyber-bullying, and 41.6% knew that their classmates encountered at least one kind of cyber-bullying in the past 6 months. (2 ) A positive relationship was found between perceived risk of cyber-bullying victimization and fear of victimization. (3 ) Direct and indirect cyber-bullying victimization only exerted indirect effects on fear of victimization via perceived risk. (4 ) The experience of cyber-bullying victimization had negative effects on students' perceived school environment. (5 ) Girls had higher levels of perceived risk than boys, and the first-year junior students had more experience of cyber-bullying experience than the second-year students. Based on the aforementioned findings, this study proposes several suggestions to the school and students to prevent the occurrence of cyber-bulling victimization and the spread of fear. For the future studies, some suggestions are also provided. |
