Abstract

This study aimed to identify the level of cyberbullying among Amman Arab University students. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher developed cyberbullying scale, which consists of 38 items. The study sample consisted of (225) male and female students from the Faculty of Educational and Psychological Sciences at Amman Arab University, selected in an accessible way. The results of the study showed that the level of cyber-bullying practice and exposure to cyber-bullying among students were low, and it was found that there were differences in practice and exposure to cyber-bullying due to gender in favor of males, the level in favor of undergraduate students, and the cumulative average in favor of those with the lowest average. In light of these results, the researcher recommends conducting more studies on cyberbullying and its relationship with other variables, and other groups of society.
