Description
Introduction: Emotional angst is one common characteristic occurring
during the adolescence period. This unstable emotional status triggers the
adolescent's vulnerability and could lead to various juvenile delinquencies,
such as bullying. Further, today's rapid technological development has
paved a novel way to spread this harmful behavior through social media
online platforms or known as cyberbullying. Thus, this study aimed to
explore cyberbullying perpetration among adolescents in a high school in
Jember.
Methods: This was a descriptive quantitative study enrolling 319 students
in a high school in Jember Regency as study participants. The
proportionate stratified random sampling technique was enrolled to select
eligible participants. Study data were collected using the translated and
modified version of The Second Revision of the Revised Cyber Bullying
Inventory-II (RCBI-II).
Results: Findings revealed that 13.8%, 17.9%, and 37.6% of the
participants stated their position as perpetrators, victims, and both
perpetrators and victims in cyberbullying perpetration. Another 30.7% of
them claimed that they were not involved in any kind of cyberbullying
perpetration.
Conclusion: It was subsequently concluded that a high rate of cyberbullying
perpetration occurred among adolescents in Jember. Thus, there is an
urgent need to provide more stringent supervision and moral education
dissemination, especially about the detrimental effects of cyberbullying on
adolescent's mental health to prevent cyberbullying behavior among high
school students.
