Poster with text, images, and graphs.Empirical investigation into the topic of cyberbullying among
adolescents has exploded in the last few years. Despite this expanded
attention, inconsistencies in definitions, methodologies, and samples
obfuscate any meaningful conclusions that could be drawn. The current project seeks to build on two earlier efforts in 2010 and 2013 to collect, review, and synthesize all of the empirical research that has
been published regarding cyberbullying, with a particular focus on comparing and contrasting research that has been done outside of the United States. Scholarly inquiry into the issue of cyberbullying in the United States has generally outpaced other countries, though it is clear
that important work is being done abroad. This study seeks to evaluate
the attributes of quantitative studies conducted abroad to determine
relevant differences that might be useful for researchers studying this
problem in the U.S.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Program
