Question

Please imagine you are taking an interview of a cyberbully victim and writing a report from his/her provided information.

 

Conduct the interview for collecting at least the following information:

 

1. Have you ever experienced Cyberbullying on Facebook?

2. What is your Cyberbullying experience?

3. What happened to you after you faced cyberbullying? (Personal, Academic, Professional, and/or Social Life)

4. How did/are you dealing with the consequences?

Answer 1

Assuming that you haven't conducted an interview with a cyberbullying victim and are only being asked to pretend to conduct an interview, I would advise you to think about what a victim of cyberbullying could potentially experience. What kind of cyberbullying did they experience? Did they receive threatening messages, are they being blackmailed in some way, etc.? What's your client's definition of cyberbullying? Then, I would go through each of the options in question #3 to figure out if cyberbullying can affect each one of these areas of one's life. Are they suffering personally or academically? Is this person's personality such that they can devote themselves to work/school, so that they actually don't suffer academically? Try to think of all of the possibilities and types of personalities that are online and could be subject to cyberbullying. For instance, is this person part of a marginalized group or not? Could this make them more susceptible to cyberbullying? Good luck with your research!
