As communication technology becomes ever more integrated into people’s daily lives, the prevalence and severity of cyberbullying has become a subject of public concern. The negative effects of cyberbullying on young people’s psychosocial, academic, behavioral, and physical outcomes have also been well explored in the literature, particularly among adolescents.
To combat this trend, schools are increasingly embracing the school-wide social and emotional learning (SEL) approach in their antibullying efforts. School-wide SEL defines the entire school community as the unit of change; it aims to integrate SEL into daily school interactions and practices that include all staff, teachers, families, and children. However, there is a limited scientific understanding of the key factors that constitute the school-wide SEL approach and how they contribute to bullying’s antecedents and consequences. In comparison to physical, verbal, or relational bullying, much less is known about how schools can apply school-wide SEL to reduce the risk of cyberbullying.
