Summary/Abstract: The current study was conducted to better understand cyberbullying and resilience among a high school student population. Prior studies have identified factors which may increase an individual’s resilience, but few studies have explored the direct connection between cyberbully victimization in adolescents and subsequent resilience. This study utilized a survey of scales to measure cyberbullying and resilience, and was completed by 62 high school students between the ages of 14 and 18. Results suggest that self-reported cyberbullying was predictive of personal competence, structured style, and family cohesion. Discussion of these findings and limitations of the study are noted.
