dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this research is to examine whether cyberbullying experiences occur among college-age students; if lesbian, gay, and bi-sexual (LGB) individuals experience cyberbullying more than heterosexual individuals; and if bullied, are college students likely to report such cyberbullying to someone in authority. To examine cyberbullying, a convenience sample of 129 college students at a mid-southern university, recruited through emails, presentations, and flyers to respond to a survey. The data from this research examined routine activities theory to examine cyberbullying among college students. The strongest correlations to experiencing cyberbullying were suitability and availability.en_US
