What's New at the Cyberbullying Research Center
Dr. Patchin and Dr. Hinduja have just received word that their research paper on "Bullying, Cyberbullying, and Suicide" has been accepted for publication in the academic journal Archives of Suicide Research. They have created a fact sheet (available here) summarizing its findings. Specifically, it details the empirical link we found between online and offline harassment and suicidal thoughts and actions. If you'd like a copy of the full manuscript, please email them . They recently 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. Dr. Hinduja 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. The live chat from Education Week (edweek.org) has been archived, and is worth a read as we fielded numerous questions related to cyberbullying and safe social networking from educators across the United States.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 Dr. Patchin and Dr. Hinduja 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 their fans and supporters on Facebook! And follow us on Twitter! We have just added a Videos section - watch them answer your questions about online harassment among youth! Please check out the new resources they have created: 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.
