| Summary: | While the internet has transformed the world into a global community, it exposes its users to various perils such as cyberbullying. Cyberbullying refers to the deliberate use of digital communication tools, such as social media platforms, instant messaging, and online forums, to harass, intimidate, or harm others. This phenomenon has garnered significant attention due to its potential to inflict psychological harm, particularly on young individuals who are still in the process of forming their identities and self-worth. This study intended to find the contributing factors and effects of cyberbullying towards young adults. We systematically identified 50 relevant literatures from 2019 to 2023 in electronic databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, and Sage Journals. The results provide strong evidence that cyberbullying factors affect young adults in terms of mental health, academic performance, behavioural changes, and self-esteem. |
