psychological control or

8. What is Cyberbullying and what are
the effects?
• This is a form of bullying
• It is a newer form of bullying because of
technological advances
• I narrowed the topic down from bullying in
general to virtual bullying
9. People feel more secure cyberbullying
than they do traditional bullying

general in the effects aspect, but the internet
supplies a certain security that real life bullying
doesn’t.

it/index.html>.
• “Cyberbullying can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reach
a kid even when he or she is alone. It can happen any time of the day
or night
• Cyberbullying messages and images can be posted anonymously and
distributed quickly to a very wide audience. It can be difficult and
sometimes impossible to trace the source
• Deleting inappropriate or harassing messages, texts, and pictures is
extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent.”

15. “The psychological effects of
bullying”
(Answer: How did you decide on that question (what did you do to
narrow/broaden your topic?))
• I believe that this question was important in order to understand the
psychological problems that come from bullying even after the
bullying has stopped. Also to show the different problems that affect
the victim’s life during the bullying process either at work, school, or
everyday life. I was able to narrow the question from effects of
bullying to psychological effects of bullying as I believe this would be
a more interesting topic as these effects can be long lasting and can
go unnoticed if a cause such as bullying is unknown and not
addressed correctly. I was able to broaden the topic to include
bullying not only in school, but at work and at home as well.
16. By revealing the psychological effects
of bullying, the public can see the
value of bullying prevention.
(What is your argument? (How did you answer your research
question?))
• My position is to bring awareness and explain the psychological
effects of bullying in order to allow others to see problems that can
come from it. I also wanted to show that bullying not only happens
at school, but at the workplace later on in life and at home. To bring
awareness to it’s problems and how serious they can be in hopes of
more people taking action and working on solutions on reducing
bullying in all aspects of life. Bullying can also take more subtle
forms in which the effects aren’t as apparent even to the victim(s)
but can also have long-lasting effects such as joking.
17. Research
How do the books, articles and website (discuss as least one of each,
so at least three resources) you found back up your position?

bullying on a victim’s school success and therefore their future
success.

information on bullying overall and it’s many psychological effects
on the individual.

18. Evaluation Process
How did you decide that the three sources you discussed
were credible and relevant to your project?
• All of the resources I choose were relevant to the
position that was proposed more so then other’s that
dealt with bullying and listed it’s psychological effects
and problems associated with it.
• I also looked to sources of authority such as
www.bullyonline.org which as an information source is
ranked highly over other website sources.
• The author’s credibility was also important with many
having PHD’s and/or serving high positions in
organizations dealing with the topic.
21. What are the Long-Term Effects of
Bullying?
• I decided on this question:
▫ Because I was curious about the topic
▫ I have an interest in self esteem.
▫ I broadened it from “How bullying effects self
esteem”
22. The effects of bullying last well
beyond childhood
• Carrying characteristics of being victimized can
hinder job market success.
• Being bullied in the past and effect how
academic environments are approached in the
future.
