A contextual study of cyberbullying in early adolescence: a longitudinal and social network approach

The existing research on cyberbullying is characterised by three limitations: 1) a lack of a reliable measurement instrument, 2) a lack of attention for the social context, and 3) a lack of longitudinal data. The first aim of this study is therefore to develop a multi-dimensional measurement instrument for cyberbullying. The second and third issue will be addressed in a panel study amongst secondary school pupils, including (a.o.) sociometric measures.
