Abstract

This study examines the impact of risky social network site practices and individual differences in self-disclosure and personality on the likelihood of cyberbullying victimization among young adult Facebook users. Results from 572 respondents show that, as predicted, posting indiscreet or negative content, having Facebook friends who post such content, number of Facebook friends, and lack of privacy settings were all strong predictors of cyberbullying victimization. In addition, conscientiousness, extroversion and openness were all associated with cyberbullying victimization. Implications for individuals and organizations are provided.
