作者:

Highlights:

• Boys are more likely to bully others on the Internet than girls.

• Junior high school students are more willing to help victims than university students in denigration and exclusion events.

• Perception of seriousness and toxic disinhibition are common predictors for cyberbullying.

• Even under the real-name system, the disinhibition effect still works.
