The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates.

When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

  • Participants self-identified cyberstalking experiences, providing details on perpetrator relationship, duration, timing, and behaviors (online and offline).

Main Results:

  • 14% of participants reported experiencing cyberstalking victimization.
  • Victimization commonly involved peers, strangers, or ex-partners, with 82.1% of experiences lasting six months or less.
  • Nearly all victims (96.4%) experienced communication technology behaviors, and 92.9% experienced social media-specific behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • Findings highlight the significant prevalence of cyberstalking victimization within the college student population.
  • Results suggest expanding research scope and implementing screening for cyberstalking in university settings.
