摘要:Technology that is getting more advanced has not only positive but also negative
impacts. The number of cyberbullying cases keeps increasing as the use of information
technology appliances grows. The subjects of this research were 7th and 8th graders of state
junior high school “S”, who were 12-14 years of age and had been using information
technologies for at least 2 years. The result of this research showed that peer group conformity
and emotional regulation are related to the tendency in them of becoming cyberbulliers as
demonstrated by the F value=106.078 and p<0.01 with an adjusted R-square value of 0.702
(70.2%). Separately, peer group conformity in teenagers has a positive correlation and has an
effect with partial correlation value=0.603 and with an effective contribution=0.637. The
variable of emotional regulation separately has a negative correlation and has no effect with
partial correlation value=-0.092.
