Children that were victims of cyber bullying (n = 239) in grades 6, 7, 10, and 11 were surveyed to. examine whether they experienced impaired academic performance and psychological well-being. Seven types of cyber bullying were identified. Through correlations the results demonstrated that all seven types of cyber bullying are significantly related to children's well-being. One-way ANOVAs and t-tests indicate that specific characteristics of the victim (sex, grade, and perpetrator) are associated with differential impact. In addition, this study found that deconstructing cyber bullying by type reveals unique information. For some types of cyber bullying, for example, girls and young children report more severe impact than boys and older children. Overall, the study demonstrates the importance of examining different types of cyber bullying to gain an understanding of children's experiences of this phenomenon .viii, 83 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
