Abstract: Cyber bullying is defined as intentional, aggressive behavior toward another person that is performed
through electronic means (i.e., computers, cell phones, PDAs) (Hinduja & Patchin 2007, 2008;
Reekman & Cannard, 2009). In other words, it is behavior performed on the Internet that is
intended to psychologically and emotionally harm someone. The present study will explore the
differences in male and female cyber bullying in an undergraduate study, specifically in regard to
posting gossip online with the intent to hurt others. The results indicate there are similar predictors of
cyber bullying for the sexes, as well as unique predictors for male and female undergraduates.
