Abstract Violence and bullying among students are dangerous phenomena, and negatively affect not only the students but also society as a whole, if not treated in the proper ways. Over the past few years, cyberbullying has emerged as a social and health concern and has been recognized as a public health issue. Cyberbullying is a form of bullying carried out by an individual or a group of perpetrators through electronic or digital media with the intention to harm others. That is made using new technology such as cellphones, hardware systems, and remote tablets. It can happen offline on social media, platforms, or while playing games where people could see, take part in, or share data with one another. The present study aimed at measuring the prevalence of cyberbullying victimization, identify factors associated with cyberbullying victimization and identifying possible psychological consequences of cyberbullying victimization among a sample of Ain Shams University first-year students.
