Social scientists struggle to characterize new form of harassment
Cyberbullying is becoming more prominent as there are a growing number of digital incidents causing scholars to examine and define a new type of seemingly invisible and often anonymous, virtual aggression. It is a problem primarily among adolescents and it\'s growing faster than parents, educators or policymakers can effectively respond. \"At this point we don\'t have a standard definition of cyberbullying that is used in research,\" says Jina Yoon, associate professor of educational psychology at Wayne State University. She says studies of cyberbullying use different definitions - a situation that can lead to challenges when developing plans or policies that seek to prevent it.
