Cyberbullying Prevention and Intervention Programs: A National Systematic Review
Abstract
This study aims to systematically examine cyberbullying prevention programs developed in Turkey. Three programs (Nedim-Bal & Kahraman, 2015; Peker, 2013; Tanrıkulu, 2013) were obtained as a result of the systematic review. . The programs (a) were developed for middle school and high school students, (b) tested with a quasi-experimental research design, (c) lasted for 60 to 75 minutes, and were between 8 and 10 sessions, and (d) did not make use of digital applications. While one of the programs aimed to increase sensibility towards cyberbullying, the other two were about decreasing cyberbullying and cybervictimization. As underlined, the number of the prevention and intervention programs regarding cyberbullying is very limited. Considering that cyberbullying negatively impacts children and young people, the need for more empirical studies to prevent and intervene in cyberbullying is evident. The findings were discussed to guide theorists, researchers, and practitioners intending to develop cyberbullying prevention and intervention programs.
