Abstract

The current study examined the role of peer relations and age in children and adolescents’ (n=120; 8 to 16 years) moral emotion attributions to bystander behaviours in cyberbullying. Overall, children attributed more morally disengaged emotions that justified negative bystander behaviours than adolescents who attributed more morally responsible emotions.
