Cyberbullying On Social Media Among Arab Youths In The Uae

Résumé: Cyberbullying is one of the social phenomena that spread on social media. The study aims to investigate the extent to which cyberbullying is emerging among Arab youth in the UAE. Also, it examines youth's views of cyberbullying and investigates the factors that impact the prevalence of the phenomenon. The study employs a quantitative approach by conducting an online survey. A total of 180 responses were received from the youth who participated in the survey. The results conclude that factors of age, gender, and time spent on social media are not statistically related to the behavior, while attitude can be a factor that impacts the behavior. Further research is needed to examine the motivation of youth attitudes toward the phenomenon and the extent of awareness of youth of cyberbullying forms
