THE IMPACT OF CYBERBULLYING ON ADOLESCENTS’ EMOTIONAL STABILITY AND AGGRESSIVE REACTIONS
Keywords:
cyberbullying, emotional stability, adolescence, aggression, prevention.Abstract
This thesis analyzes the impact of cyberbullying—harassment and intimidation carried out via online platforms—on adolescents’ emotional stability, levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms, as well as their aggressive reactions. A review of the literature and recent research indicates that, unlike traditional school bullying, cyberbullying may intensify psychological harm due to its continuity, anonymity, and broad public exposure. This thesis summarizes existing studies, proposes methodological approaches for conducting empirical research, outlines preventive measures, and presents scientific and practical recommendations.
