Information and communication technology platforms as an experimental paradigm in cyber-bystander research: A critique of methodology

The investigation of bystander behavior in response to cyberbullying is a developing area of research that is still in its infancy. To advance this area of inquiry, researchers can use information and communication technology (ICT) platforms, such as simulated social media websites, as an experiment...
