Abstract
Cyberbullying and victim behaviour research is currently focused on identifying personal factors that increase an individual's risk. Recent findings indicate that within the web of cyberbullying culture a large group of individuals are both cyberbullies and victims. This group of cyberbullies/victims has been shown to differ from pure cyberbullies or victims on various factors during adolescence. However, little research to date has investigated cyberbullying/victim behaviour in adults. The aim of this study is to revise Cyber Bullying Inventory (CBI) among students of Banaras Hindu University and to examine its basic psychometric characteristics. There were two independent samples on one scale with 28 items. The first 14 items sample consisting of 150 participants (76 female, 74 male) aged 16-34 (M=20.30; SD=5.97) was used to test the reliability of cyber victim behaviour. The second data set with 14 items which consisted of 150 participants (76 female, 74 male) aged 16-34 (M=19.22; SD=6.18) was used to test the reliability of cyberbullying behaviour. RCBI appears to be a reliable tool that can be utilized safely among Indian university adolescents to investigate the nature and extent of cyberbullying experiences.
