Areas of research

---The Effects of Anonymity in the Expression of Empathy through Bystander Behavior and Online Social Media Interactions --

Previous research has indicated that there was an increase in cyberbullying since the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic. This has expidited the change towards an online education. In an effort to better understand the role that empathy plays on cyberbullying, this study was conducted to determine if online anonymity and empathy are correlated. In order to clarify this relationship, researchers analysed survey responses measuring bystander behaviour in three levels of anonymity (personal, public and in-person), while accounting for baseline empathy.
