Goals
"The aim of this study is to examine the extent to which perceived injustice in society and perceived care can predict the status of cyberbully and the status of cybervictim and if perceived care (support) can be a protective factor for such behavior.
According to this aim, we set these research problems:
a) To determine the frequency of cyber victimization and cyberbullying
b) To determine how the respondents perceive dimensions of social injustice (general inequality in society, inequality before law, rejecting social values; family injustice and injustice in school) and social support
c) To examine if perceived justice in society and perceived support are predictors for cyberbullying and cybervictimization" Bilić, 2014, 106
