This paper poses the following two questions: (1) How can attitudes towards cyberbullying be empirically measured, and (2) what attitudes do students show towards cyberbullying. Two samples serve to answer these research questions: the first survey is part of the IEA study ICILS in Switzerland (national module) which includes eighth grade students. The second survey derives from a study carried out in Eastern Switzerland with young people from age 11 to 16. Construct validity of a newly developed instrument for measuring students’ attitudes towards cyberbullying is presented in this paper. Both data sets confirm a theoretically justified g-factor model. The results show that a clear majority of students is opposed to cyberbullying.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Swiss Journal of Educational Research}, author={Biedermann, Horst and Nagel, Arvid and Oser, Fritz}, year={2018}, month={Oct.}, pages={447–462} }
