Bullying has developed as a habit having harmful consequences on young people; nevertheless, prevalence assessments differ depending on measuring methods. In order to get a better understanding of each approach, we carried out a systematic study and content analysis of bullying measures, including behavioral contents. Multiple internet resources have been examined for measures released between 1985 and 2012. Measuring methods included assessing the behaviour of bullying, were given to respondents aged 12 to 20 years, were delivered in English, and psychometric data were provided.In this chapter, we examine the concept of bullying and the related term of cyberbullying. We start by analyzing the word bullying and the defining characteristics usually associated with it, namely purpose (to hurt), repetition, and imbalance of power. We also examine the related notion of harassment. We then go on to the word cyberbullying and a related term cyber aggression. This includes a debate of how helpful the conventional bullying criteria are in the internet realm. We conclude with some suggestions about the meaning and usage of the term ‘cyberbullying’.
