Abstract

This article presents a literature review of emotional responses and stress attributable to cyberbullying. It begins with a summary of the definition of cyberbullying and then describes types of cyberbullying and the emotional reactions it can produce. Next, theoretical background studies relevant to cyberbullying are discussed. Findings indicate that most previous research used transactional model theory as a valid measure. However, this review draws attention to reliance on variations in stress and emotional state. Finally, the need for future research exploring how people momentarily cope or deal with cyberbullying events is suggested as a means of providing a temporal prediction of cyberbullying incidents.
