Development of Structural Equation Modeling of Cyber Bullying Behavior among Students in a Community College in the Southern Part of Thailand

Abstract

                 The purpose of this study was to develop structural equation modeling of cyberbullying behaviors among students of a community college in the southern part of Thailand. The study was conducted with 340 subjects for path analysis. The study found that the structural equation modeling of cyber bullying behavior was consistent with empirical data (c2/df = 2.55, GFI = .92, AGFI = .90, RMR = .04 and RMSEA = .07). Strict upbringing was found to directly affect cyberbullying behavior and frustration at .53 and .48, respectively while its indirect effect on cyberbullying behavior was at .14. The total effects on cyberbullying behavior and frustration were found to be at .67 and .47, respectively. Regarding the influence of violence, it was found to directly affect cyber bullying behavior and frustration at .09 and .38, respectively while its indirect effect on cyberbullying behavior was at .11. The total effects on cyberbullying behavior and frustration were found to be at .19 and .35, respectively and frustration was found to directly affect cyber bullying behavior at .30.
