Abstract

Abstract: Purpose: To predict the effect of parental attitude and proactive and reactive aggression on the cyberbully, cyber victims, and cyberbully/victim among students aged 9–14 years. Methods: This study is a cross‐sectional, correlational, and predictive study. The sample included 360 students. Data were collected with the "Adolescence Information Form, " "Parental Attitude Scale, " "Proactive–Reactive Aggression Scale, " and "Cyberbully/Victim Questionnaire." Logistic regression analysis was used. Findings: This study was determined that proactive–reactive aggression and parental attitude predicted 30.3% of cyberbully/victim cases. Proactive aggression and Internet usage time are essential predictors of cyberbullying cases. Practice Implications: To protect and improve their children's health, children should be informed about cyberbullying, proactive–reactive aggression, and the duration of Internet use.
