New Technology and Youth Aggression

I caught this online and thought I would share it with you...

A Center for Disease Control panel has written up its findings in the Journal of Adolescent Health concerning electronic aggression by youth. It is in the journal's December 2007 supplement and it is online for free (unfortunately other access to this title is not).

As they say:

"Although many different terms-such as cyberbullying, Internet harassment, and
Internet bullying-have been used to describe this type of violence, electronic aggression is the term that most accurately captures all types of violence that occur electronically. Like traditional forms of youth violence, electronic aggression is associated with emotional distress and conduct problems at school."
