DeerMorefineWaldoUnless this is a social experiment to prove how completely unproductive public surveys are, I don't think you'll get anything of value out of this. Also,Rickunless u want to manually parse thru this thread I would make a google form, or surveymonkey/equivalent
I am collecting data from multiple forums and not all of them are created by me. The analysis is conducted by looking for the most common themes that appear in the responses.
Why did you choose internet forums? Why not conduct in person interviews with people? Or if you still want to ask internet dwellers that you don't know why not use an online survey? If this is for a serious class assignment then you can't expect to get good data from asking a bunch of people online to respond publicly...
No ethical approval from university to conduct interviews. The research outline specifically stated to use online discussion boards as sources - some of my classmates used YouTube comments are their source. Forums are a good way of gathering large amount of data in one place.
The data I gather is simply for analysis.Not all of these responses are going to be featured, but if say, plenty people say the same thing then it's considered a 'theme' that I can talk about.
Interviews are long and tiresome. You need to convince people to sit down somewhere quiet (or in mumble/teamspeak), outline what you are gonna ask, say it's going to be recorded, do the questioning, listen through the "uhhms, aahhs, like yeah like". To be able to use in them in writing, you'd have to transcribe it word for word - including all the uhhms ahhs, pauses, liiiike. For every participant, you gotta do this.
Plus what better way of asking opinions about CYBER bullying than asking a bunch of people online? More likely I might come across someone who doesn't know how to turn on a computer if I were to recruit on the streets.

much, much, MUCH less than in others

where else are you going to find educated scholars with college degrees from across the world (who like hats)?
Also shoutout to 'Twitch' for being a boss and turning his negative physical twitching into an alias and owning it. That's actually so respectable like damn.

cyber bullying is nothing compared to regular bullying end of story.
if you get cyber bullied there are too many situations that can happen where some people may or may not deserve said bullying

flameslightly off/on topic though i don't think your questions help your topic.
deindividuation is more the theory that you'll tend to do things with other people that you'd never do by yourself because you lose your sense of individuality and become a part of a group instead of an individual.
The anonymity is a result of being part of the group. For example if carter thought alfa was an idiot, he'd probably not just go in mumble with him and be like "hey idiot" but if carter were in mumble with showstopper, alec, rando, and cyzer and all of them were calling alfa an idiot, then carters sense of self is gone perceptually because the group is doing it so he becomes 'anonymous' and deindividuized because its all of them doing it, not because they're masked behind an alias or anything like that.
I forgot to reply to this sooner, sorry!
Social identity model of de-individuation effects (SIDE) is actually a critique of de-individuation. It's a bit more technology/social-media-oriented which is why it is one of the most used theories for explaining cyber bullying. It's an explanation for individual behaviour when anonymity is in play. There is no 'loss of self-hood'. Outgroup aggression is increased if you are anonymous to the outgroup (but known to the ingroup = circlejerk). etc etc etc

I addressed some of this in the etf2l thread, but I only ever feel it becomes a real problem when it impinges on your real life in some way. Anonymity helps and doesn't help in this regard. If you're anonymous it's pretty hard for that to become a real problem, if someone shittalks you on tftv or in tf2 where you're using some dumb alias then there's rarely an issue, if you're harassed by someone anonymously and you're not then it makes the issue harder to deal with if you need to.
90% of cases that I've heard of where it's become a serious issue are people harassed on social media by people they know where neither are aliasing though. Serious harassment from an anonymous person often turns into stalking cases which is often considered a separate issue.

4) Sometimes. Please can be real jerks(especially if they don't like a comment) But those same (possible hypocritical) people are ready to be nice and donate money for a great cause(like TOTH) I don't really understand how someone can make a financial sacrifice and give some money away but be real jerks and be mean regardless of how dumb or immature another person might be
i never really understood cyberbullying, people that get offended on the internet by relentless attackers don't have integrity. if you're gonna let words from someone you don't know from the internet get to you, then you should realize who you really are and why you shouldn't get mad over stupid shit on the internet. talk to your family and real life friends and shit. realize that you have people that will stand by your side and support you. if anything i pity the people that attack others, because it shows weakness in themselves as people. why should we demotivate ourselves from baseless insults that dont represent us??? we need to remember who we are and our principles as human beings and shit like that.
