Abstract

First- through fifth- graders were guided through completion of an online survey about experiences with cyberbullying and their definition of cyberbullying. 54.7% self-reported victimization, 32.6% self-reported cyberbullying behaviors, and 27.5% self-reported both (bully-victims). There were no gender differences; however, rates of victimization and bully-victim behavior varied by grade and age.
