Abstract | The global rise in digital technology has led to an increase in cyberbullying, particularly among young adults in Thailand. This study aimed to develop a cyberbullying situational scale, focusing on 490 participants aged 18-24 residing in Bangkok and its metropolitan area for over one year. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted to validate the scale. The 18-item questionnaire, based on cyberbullying scenarios in Thailand, was evaluated for content validity using the Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC), with three experts assessing the questionnaire to ensure its validity. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, and correlations were analyzed using the LISREL program and SPSS. The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scale was .81, and the Corrected Item-Total Correlation (CITC) for all items exceeded .2. The data analysis included frequency, mean, and results from the EFA, along with eigenvalues and factor loadings. The CFA results indicated that the scale fit the empirical data well, demonstrating construct validity. The cyberbullying factors were divided into four situations: 1) Harassment, 2) Outing and Trickery, 3) Denigration, and 4) Impersonation, which aligned with the literature on cyberbullying scenarios in Thailand. The correlation analysis using Pearson’s correlation coefficient revealed that the cyberbullying situational scale had a statistically significant positive correlation with the aggression scale (r = .87) and a statistically significant negative correlation with the empathy scale (r = -.87). |
