Abstract

Cyberbullying has been linked to Suicidal Ideation in many studies (Hinduja & Patchin, 2010[1]; Brailovskaia et al., 2018[2]; Peng et al., 2019[3]), however, not many research papers  are found studying University students in India. In this cross-sectional study, 212 university students between the age range of 18 to 30 years old were studied for their experience with Cyberbullying, as both victims and offenders, and its connection to their level of Suicidal Ideation. The study measured age and gender as covariates and demographic factors such as religion, educational qualification and relationship status. A positive correlation was found between Cyberbullying and Suicidal Ideation, and a gender difference was noted in the scores for Suicidal Ideation.
