1. “Cyberbullying and adolescent well-being in Ghana: The role of parental monitoring and social support” by Ohene, Osafo, Boakye, Brenya, and Kpobi (2021).
The goal of a study done with 417 middle school students was to determine how cyberbullying affects their mental health. The study employed Social Cognitive Theory as the guiding framework, which suggests that individuals learn and copy behaviors from their environment, including those around them and the media they consume. The research design was cross-sectional, and data were collected through a self-report questionnaire. The study’s variables were limited to cyberbullying and mental health. The main findings showed that cyberbullying hurt students’ mental health, as those who experienced cyberbullying reported more symptoms of depression and anxiety than those who did not. The study also found that people who did cyberbullying had more signs of depression than people who didn’t do it. These findings answer the research questions by demonstrating that cyberbullying can change how teens act by increasing symptoms of depression and anxiety and negatively affecting their mental health. The results of this study show that something needs to be done to stop and lessen the negative effects of cyberbullying on teens’ mental health.

2. “Cyberbullying victimization and adolescent mental health: Evidence from a cross-sectional study in Taiwan” by Lin, Chen, and Liu (2021).
A longitudinal design and Social Cognitive Theory have been used to study the effects of cyberbullying on the behavior and mental health of high school students. A group of 1,145 high school students participated in the study by completing an online survey about cyberbullying, academic performance, behavioral problems, and mental health symptoms. The results showed that cyberbullying was linked to bad behavior, like more aggression and drug use, and lower academic achievement. These results indicate that cyberbullying can significantly affect how well students do in general and their chances for the future. The study also found that being a victim or perpetrator of cyberbullying was linked to more depressive symptoms. This shows that cyber bullying has a negative effect on teens’ mental health. This study shows how important it is to deal with cyberbullying in schools and communities to stop bad things from happening and help teens grow healthy.

3. “Perceived family support and adolescent cyberbullying perpetration: The mediating role of moral disengagement” by Yang, Kim, and Kim (2020).
The study on cyberbullying and mental health among college students found that cyberbullying can significantly negatively impact mental health. The results showed that cyberbullying was positively correlated with symptoms of depression and anxiety. This suggests that college students who experience cyberbullying may be at risk of developing mental health issues. The study also found that bullying online was a more potent sign of depression and anxiety than bullying others online. This shows that being a victim can have a more significant effect on mental health than being the one who hurts someone. These results show how important it is to have effective ways to prevent and stop cyberbullying, especially for those most likely to be hurt. As college students continue to rely on technology for social and academic purposes, the potential for cyberbullying to occur remains high. Because of this, it’s essential for parents, teachers, and people who work in mental health to know how cyberbullying affects mental health and take steps to prevent and deal with it.

4.”The dark triad and adolescent cyberbullying: An empirical investigation” by Kircaburun, Griffiths, and Demetrovics (2019).
In recent years, people have become more worried about how cyberbullying affects teens’ mental health. A cross-sectional study of 515 high school students investigated the association between cyberbullying and mental health outcomes. The study found that cyberbullying was significantly associated with depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. In particular, students who said they were victims of cyberbullying were more likely to say they were depressed or had thought about killing themselves than students who didn’t say they were victims. These results suggest that cyberbullying can hurt teens’ mental health by making it more likely for them to report feeling sad or having suicidal thoughts. As a result, it is crucial to address the problem of cyberbullying and offer assistance to those who have suffered from it. Parents, teachers, and other significant adults in a child’s life should do what they can to stop cyberbullying and help kids who have been bullied. Supporting teenagers who have been the victims of cyberbullying can also play a crucial role for mental health professionals. Faced with the growing problem of cyberbullying, it is essential to put teens’ mental health and well-being first.

5. “The impact of cyberbullying on self-esteem and suicidal ideation in late adolescence” by Kim, Baek, and Kim (2018).
The study examined how cyberbullying affected the mental health of 1,225 middle and high school students. The results showed that cyberbullying was linked to more depressive symptoms and less happiness in life and that being a victim of cyberbullying was linked to more depressive symptoms and less satisfaction with life than not being a victim. Based on these results, it seems that cyberbullying can hurt the mental health and well-being of teens.
The social cognitive theory could potentially explain the mechanisms underlying the relationship between cyberbullying and mental health outcomes. This theory contends that people learn by watching others and that positive effects motivate them to engage in behaviors. Thus, adolescents who observe others engaging in cyberbullying may be likelier to engage in those behaviors. Cyberbullying can also lead to negative thoughts about yourself, making you more likely to have depressive symptoms and be less happy with your life. Overall, this study shows how important it is to deal with cyberbullying if we want to improve teens’ mental health and well-being.
