Abstract

Facebook is the most commonly used social website for Taiwanese teenagers, who use it to seek recognition. However, recent studies have found that cyber bullying is widespread problem that imposes a negative impact on teenagers. This study used focus group, semi-structured interviews to explore and explain how attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control factors influence adolescents’ intention to engage in anti- cyberbullying activities on social networking sites. The results showed that the attitude of adolescents on anti-cyberbullying could not affect their behavior and enhancing the Adolescents’ perceived behavioral control on anti-cyberbullying would affect behavioral intentions.
