What's New at the Cyberbullying Research Center
We've just published findings from our research project entitled "Trends in online social networking: Adolescent use of MySpace over time." It is forthcoming in New Media and Society, and summarized in a new fact sheet. Justin was featured on a local NPR affiliate in Wisconsin to speak about cyberbullying. The interview and discussion, available here for download, is 45 minutes in length. Our live chat from Education Week (edweek.org) has been archived, and is worth a read as we fielded numerous questions related to cyberbullying and safe social networking from educators across the United States. See us featured in an article entitled "Cyberbullying: Fact Facts and School Strategies" in the September 2009 issue of the Center for Social and Emotional Education Newsletter! Become one of our fans and supporters on Facebook! And follow us on Twitter! We have just added a Videos section - watch us answer your questions about online harassment among youth!

They include the following: Top Ten Cyberbullying Prevention Tips for Educators We encourage you to download, reproduce, and distribute them as far and as wide as you'd like (see Permissions Policy). We have also added three new online quizzes in the Resources section of our site - a "Facts about Cyberbullying" Quiz, a "Dealing with Cyberbullying" Quiz, and an "Addressing Cyberbullying" Quiz. The first focuses on what the research has to say about cyberbullying. The second seeks to help inform youth as they interact with others online, equip them with the right steps to take if someone cyberbullies them, and teach them ways to can prevent the harassment from happening. The third was created for adults to determine their familiarity with cyberbullying, and to increase their awareness of possible prevention and response strategies. Check out our cyberbullying blog! We'd love to hear your thoughts.

February 8: Identifying anonymous or pseudonymous cyberbullies in civil suits
Though we focus on youth, we have had an increasing number of adults who call and email us asking for help regarding their own cyberbullying victimization experiences. Some of the stories we hear are extremely tragic and horribly malicious. Many times, we are at a loss for words that might help based on the fact that Internet Service Providers and Content Service Providers historically have not turned over subscriber (perpetrator) records in response to complaints from targets. January 29: The Changing Nature of Adolescent Use of MySpace Sameer and I have been exploring online social networking generally, and adolescent behaviors on MySpace in particular, for over five years. Since 2006 we have randomly selected several thousand MySpace profiles each year to determine: 1) who is on MySpace and 2) what kind of information they are posting. Our latest article, which is forthcoming in the journal New Media and Society is now available online.

This multi-faceted and long-term project seeks to collect stories, interact with those most affected, and deeply understand the problem and what can be done to stop it. Please read about the introduction of the project January 27: Social Norms and Cyberbullying Among Students As I mentioned in my cyberbullying and sexting comments at the National Crime Prevention Council Circle of Respect event two weeks ago, "social norming" continues to bear relevance for dealing with cyberbullying at schools, and I'd like to flesh it out some more since I am a big fan of the concept. Basically, youth tend to do what others are doing - largely in order to fit in, as they try to figure out who they are and what they stand for. As they ...
