Abstract
This research analyses the cyberbullying phenomenon and its relationship with perceived stress of high school students. The study applies the Perceived Stress Scale called “The Cyberbullying Questionnaire” (CBQ) developed by Cohen and its complement the Cyberbullying- Victimisation Questionnaire(CBQ-V) on a sample of 1002 high school students. It is found that this phenomenon is prevalent among such students since 45% of the subjects have reported being victims of bullying and 69% displayed perpetration behavior. Furthermore, it is found that perceived stress and cyberbullying in both cases victims and aggressors are related since the greater the level of cyberbullying involvement the more perceived stress there is.
