Tiivistelmä
This study implements quantitative research method with the focus on data analysis of the EU Kids Online 2019 Survey. It investigates youth experiences of cyberbullying that include reception of cyberbullying and practice of cyberbullying, mainly based on gender and age. This study also demonstrates which cyberbullying techniques are commonly performed by young people. It attempts to give comparison of cyberbullying experiences between male and female youths, as well as youths from younger age groups and older age groups. This study also aims to explore the link between cyberbullying and online hate speech.
This study highlights the findings that in the case of Finland, girls report more frequently being cyberbullying victims and less frequently to cyberbully than boys, however, in terms of intensity, boys may suffer from cyberbullying more intensely; older youths report more frequently being cyberbullying victims and also more frequently being cyberbullying perpetrators. This study also suggests that flaming, harassment and exclusion are the most common cyberbullying techniques among Finnish youths. Finally, this study argues that online hate speech and cyberbullying potentially share a parallel relationship.
