School risk factors and consequences of cyberbullying: a review study

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to carry out a documentary review about the cyberbullying phenomenon. Specifically, this investigation analyzed researches related to risk factors and school consequences in students of Primary, Secondary and University Education. The search was made through the hermeneutic method, taking as samples indexed databases, such as Scopus, Scielo, Proquest or Web of Science. The results obtained show data about school factors that predispose the participation of victims, stalkers and observers, as well as the consequences in school matters that derive from participation in each role. All this is of great relevance when it comes to understanding the phenomenon, as well as in the identification of possible cases of cyberbullying based on the behavior of those involved.
