| Summary: | The use of modern information technology has contributed to the creation of
new media and virtual tools that contribute to mass social interaction. The
Internet has enabled networking communicator, associating in virtual
communities and the creation of parallel communication space. However,
despite all the good things they bring with them, new technologies are
leading to the emergence of various forms of victimization in the virtual
space. The ability to communicate anonymously or through a fictitious
identity on the new media platforms created a favorable climate for the
operation of the “dark side” of the Internet. Violence on the Internet, known
as the cyberbullying is becoming a topic for many researchers mainly focusing
on research and description of the phenomenon in adolescent population. The
paper aims to examine the theoretical aspects of cyberbullying and to present
the existing research, as well as the results of the pilot research work on
the social networks behavior of final year students of the Faculty of Culture
and Media, conducted by the authors. The paper shows that violence on the
Internet exists in this part of the student population. |
