European Cyberbullying Intervention Project Questionnaire (ECIPQ) instrument adaptation for adolescents

Abstract

Cyberbullying is an unjustified act of aggression to hurt or harass through electronic media which creates an imbalance of power between the perpetrator and the victim. This problem can occur in any country regardless of the level of socio-economic development of a region. Cyberbullying has a negative impact on the psychological and psychosocial aspects of adolescents. Considered to be a widespread problem among children and adults, it is attracting increasing research interest with a distinct focus on cyberbullying and the similarities and differences between countries and cultures. The purpose of this study was to adapt the European Cyberbullying Intervention Project Questionnaire (ECIPQ) instrument to adolescents in Indonesian. The subjects in this study involved 1.567 teenagers in junior high schools. Confirmatory Factors Analysis (CFA) was used for the European Cyberbullying Intervention Project Questionnaire (ECIPQ). The results of this study are of the 22 items in the measurement found fit model 16 items consisting of 8 items of cyber-victimization and 8 items of cyber-aggression, ECIPQ fulfills the factor loading requirements with a value of more than 0,5, and its reliability has a higher from 0,7. The ECIPQ instrument is needed to detect the involvement of adolescents who are victims or aggressions so that researchers and those who apply ECIPQ can handle cyberbullying at school or university.
