The Role of Social Media Platforms in Facilitating Cyberbullying in Higher Education

Author(s) Ms Mayuree Pal, Dr. Prathibha V
Country India
Abstract Interpersonal interactions have undergone significant transformation due to the proliferation of digital platforms and technology, which have emerged as the predominant modes of communication. While these advancements offer numerous advantages, they also facilitate detrimental behaviours, particularly cyberbullying. This paper investigates the extent to which social media platforms contribute to cyberbullying within higher education contexts. The increasing prevalence of cyberbullying, characterized as a digital form of harassment with unique attributes, has garnered global attention. Despite education being a fundamental right in developing countries such as India, students in urban areas continue to encounter negative experiences, including abuse, which can yield long-lasting adverse effects. This research employs a combination of qualitative and exploratory case studies to explore the dynamics of cyberbullying within higher education. The objective of this approach is to elucidate the nature, impact, and specific modalities through which social media platforms contribute to the proliferation of cyberbullying. The research scrutinizes the distinctive context of higher education, wherein the intersection of technology and social interaction may precipitate an increase in cyberbullying incidents. It will also examine the psychological and social consequences for victims, as well as the challenges associated with preventing and addressing cyberbullying within these environments.
