In An Examination of the Predictive Factors of Cyberbullying in Adolescents, written by

Beyazit, U., Simsek, S., & Ayhan, A. B. (2017), the authors underwent an experiment on
highschoolers in Kirsehir, Turkey. The goal was to have a brief understanding of the predictive
variables of cyberbullying in these children. These authors stand no view due to the point of the
journal was to be researched based. In the discussion part of the journal (para. 18) it was stated
that chances of a person being a cyberbully increases with age and especially when said person
begins making social media accounts (para. 18). These authors succeeded in producing an
unbiased close examination on the topic of predictiveness of cyberbullying. Later in the journal,
the authors maintain their unbiased stance when explaining that their study had limitations (para.
24). Just after this, the authors mentioned recommendations for future research related to the
topic and gave reasons why more research on this topic is important (para. 28). Right after that,
it was made note of the fact that when parents do use control over their children's internet use,
the chances of cyber bullying decreases a lot (para. 29). When continuing about the benefit of
control of these parents children's internet use, the authors stated, “therefore, in addition to
discussing rules with children, parents should take additional proactive steps, such as placing the
computer in a common area at home rather than the child's bedroom, monitoring the amount of
time their children spend on the Internet, and using Internet protection programs.” (para 29).
