Abstract

Cyberbullying serves as a channel through which individuals who have faced victimization during their university experience can vent their anger and frustration. This study delves into the determinants influencing cyberbullying among university students. We collected and analyzed 150 relevant responses from university students in the Sri Lankan context, employing multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that social influences, social media usage, internet addiction, social anxiety, and trait anger significantly impact cyberbullying behaviors. However, it is essential to note that this study is confined by its focus on only five variables and a sample limited to Sri Lankan state university students. Despite these constraints, our research enriches the understanding of cyberbullying dynamics, advocates for heightened awareness among students, authorities, government bodies, and other stakeholders, and offers recommendations to promote online safety and combat cyberbullying.
