Outline of Final Research Achievements

The definitions of cyberbullying were inconsistent among Japanese researchers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of resilience and GRIT of cyberbullying survivors. In this study, cyberbullying survivors mean that students go to school again after cyberbullied. Cyberbullyig survivors were resilient. Especially, they showed higher scores of "community" and "home" factors than students who have absented school after cyberbullied. These results suggest that high school students with support from adults in community and at home, go to school again after cyberbullied.
