Who are cyberbullies and cyber victims and what is the best way to address the issue of social manipulation? Cyberbullying can be understood by looking both at the individuals who take part in this behaviour as well as the communities where it takes place. Victoria University academics Dr Jaimee Stuart from the School of Psychology and Professor Vanessa Green from the School of Education discuss effective intervention and prevention programmes that will enable us to find ways to decrease the occurrence of cyberbullying for both current and future generations of New Zealanders. This was part of the Victoria University Spotlight Lecture Series —an opportunity to sample the research undertaken by Victoria academics, in bite-sized lectures.
