Item Empathy and Moral Disengagement in Adolescent Cyberbullying: Implications for Educational Intervention and Pedagogical Practice(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2012) Lazuras, Lambros; Pyżalski, Jacek; Barkoukis, Vassilis; Tsorbatzoudis, HaralambosCyberbullying represents an emerging form of adolescent aggression that is channelled contemporary through information and communications technologies (ICTs). Research on the psycho-social correlates is still growing but the available evidence highlights the importance of moral disengagement and empathy in predicting cyberbullying behavior. Educators can benefi t from this research and accordingly develop curricula and employ practices that tap moral and empathic beliefs in young people, in order to curb the onset and prevalence of cyberbullying among students. The present article discusses the nature of cyberbullying, reviews the studies assessing the relationships between empathy, moral disengagement and cyberbullying in adolescents, and presents the implications for educational interventions and pedagogical practice.
