Budiman Cyberbullying Antecedents Grounded theory Link to publisher's homepage at http://johdec.unimap.edu.my/ This research attempted to fill the knowledge gap in cyberbullying by revealing one of the five main themes of cyberbullying that is the antecedents that contribute to the working hypothesis or paradigm model of the phenomenon. The actual research reveals the antecedents and the contexts and prevailing conditions that influence it, as well as the phenomenon, the coping strategies and the consequences resulting from the coping strategies. Using a grounded theory methodology, in-depth interviews were conducted on adolescents aged between 12 to 18 years from different schools in the state of Perlis. The data were analyzed using NVivo 10 by methodically coding and categorizing the data in open, axial and selective coding to arrive at a model development. A paradigm model was obtained based on these themes and subthemes which uniquely contribute to the body of knowledge on cyberbullying phenomenon in Malaysia. The involved elements derived from the model are; the antecedents of cyberbullying; the phenomenon; the coping strategies by informants and the consequences resulting from these strategies. The significance of this study lies in its attempt to provide a working framework for reducing adolescents’ technology abuse that will eventually lead to cyberbullying and to find solutions for adolescents to tackle cyberbullying problems if it ever happened. This study is hoped to benefit all the parties: adolescents, parents, teachers, and other stakeholders to minimize adolescents’ cyberbullying phenomenon. 2016-04-28T07:11:02Z 2016-04-28T07:11:02Z 2013 Article Journal of Human Development and Communication (JoHDEC), vol.2, 2013, pages 15-44 2289-2702 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/41455 en Center for Communication Technology And Human Development (UniMAP)
