Background:

Cyberbullying research faces challenges due to inconsistent findings and prevalence claims.
Lack of consensus on definition hinders coherent knowledge building.
Existing studies may confound cyberbullying with general cyberaggression or harassment.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a consensus definition for cyberbullying research.
To ensure cyberbullying is measured within a 'bullying context.'
To differentiate cyberbullying from other forms of cyberaggression.

Main Methods:

Conceptual analysis of existing cyberbullying literature.
Comparative analysis of cyberbullying definitions and measurement approaches.
Literature review focusing on the 'bullying context' framework.

Main Results:

Inconsistent findings in cyberbullying research are linked to definitional ambiguity.
Measuring cyberbullying within a 'bullying context' is crucial for valid results.
Cyberbullying should be conceptualized as a specific form of bullying.

Conclusions:

Establishing a clear, consistent definition of cyberbullying is essential for scientific progress.
Future research should adopt a 'bullying context' approach to measurement.
Cyberbullying is best understood as a subcategory of bullying, alongside verbal, physical, and relational forms.
