The article, Gender Differences inthe Association Between Cyberbullying Victimization and Perpetration: The Roleof Anger Rumination and Traditional Bullying Experiences, written by Zsila Ágnes, Urbán Róbert, Griffiths Mark D. and Demetrovics Zsolt looks at whether or not traditional bulling and cyberbullying had any affects within the victim or the perpetrator. In order to understand better whether or not there was any relations, they took a survey of 1500 people both adults and teenagers, and ask them several questions regarding being bullied. Additionally, the researchers also wanted to see if there was any correlation between being bullied at a young age and being a perpetrator later in life. The researchers were able to discover that cyberbully not only causes damages to someone mental and physical health, but it also turns the victim into perpetrator. Moreover, among the 1500 people who they survey, they note that a big percentage of male who were bullied at a younger age, turn out to be bullies.
