Abstract

This study sought to develop and validate an instrument measuring cyberbullying among Malaysian youths. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed to determine the best sub-factors and items for the instrument, while confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to test and validate the measurement model. Results from EFA on 38 items showed that the items were pooled into four sub-factors. Meanwhile, results from CFA indicated that eight items had to be discarded in order to confirm that the model was fit. Overall, the final version of the instrument consisted of four cyberbullying sub-factors, namely, impersonation (13 items), cyberstalking and harassment (nine items), flaming (four items), and elimination (four items).      Keywords: Instrument development; Youths; Cyberbullying; Youth development     
一种测量马来西亚青少年网络欺凌的工具的开发和验证
本研究旨在开发和验证一种测量马来西亚青少年网络欺凌的工具。采用探索性因子分析(EFA)确定仪器的最佳子因子和项目,并采用验证性因子分析(CFA)对测量模型进行检验和验证。对38个项目的EFA结果显示,这些项目被归为4个子因素。同时,CFA的结果表明,为了确认模型的拟合,必须丢弃8个项目。总体而言,最终版本的工具包括四个网络欺凌子因素,即模仿(13个项目),网络跟踪和骚扰(9个项目),燃烧(4个项目)和消除(4个项目)。关键词:仪器开发;青年;网络欺凌;青年发展
