Why do people cyberbully? John Suler, from the Department of Psychology at Rider University in New Jersey, and author of The Psychology Of Cyberspace, explains: “There may be a rebellious or anti-social aspect to their personality, in that they like to disrupt what they perceive to be the accepted rules and authority, or they’re jealous of the accomplishments and friendships they see around them, or they may just need some kind of target, any target, for their frustrations. For some people it might even be a ‘do unto others what was done to you,’ in that they’re recreating online what might have happened to them in their lives.”
