The term “cyberbullying” refers to the repeated and intentional sending of aggressive messages through electronic communication devices to a person or group of people who may be unable to defend themselves (Belsey, 2021; Smith et al., 2008). Sending humiliating, derogatory and threatening messages, whether in written, audible or video form, through social media accounts, chat rooms or online games are all examples of cyberbullying (Han et al., 2021; Kowalski et al., 2014; Uludasdemir & Kucuk, 2019). Cyberbullying leads to cyber victimization (Uludasdemir & Kucuk, 2019). The physical and mental health of adolescents who are cyber-victims are both adversely affected, with the most common negative effects being depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, stress, body image dissatisfaction and sleep disorders (Hu et al., 2021; Lei et al., 2020; Nagata et al., 2022; Zych et al., 2019). It has been determined that the risk of self-harm among adolescents who are victims of cyberbullying is 2.3 times greater and the risk of suicide is 2.5 times greater among those who are not (John et al., 2018). Studies have reported that adolescents become victims or perpetrators of cyberbullying for various reasons, including lack of awareness of cyberbullying, mistaking it for harmless humor, lack of empathy, unfamiliarity with the rules of digital communication, previous experience as a cyber victim, inadequate parental control and excessive time spent online and on social media (Baldry et al., 2019; Bilgiz & Peker, 2020; Çakır et al., 2016; Çimen, 2018; Grunin et al., 2021; Sarı, 2016; Schultze-Krumbholz et al., 2016; Taylan et al., 2017; Uludasdemir & Kucuk, 2019).
