Abstract
We analyzed the process by which cyberbullying perpetration is influenced by peer-group norm. The higher the support of peer-group norm to cyberbullying, the higher the cyberbullying perpetration, when individuals either lack of knowledge regarding appropriate behaviors in cyberspace, or are highly identified with and central within the peer group.
