In recent years, along with the rapid expansion of the Internet, social network services (SNS) and smart phones, "cyber-bullying" has been growing.

Many Asian countries now suffer the similar problems of bullying among adolescents, since these countries share similar characteristics of development (spread of internet, SNSs and smart phones).\n\nGoal and objectives: This study aims to explore Taiwanese adolescents\' experiences, perceptions, opinions and mental health regarding cyberbullying and traditional bullying to inform the development of questionnaire in the quantitative phase of mixed methods study.\n\nStudy design: A qualitative study design with in depth interviews will be adopted.\n\nTarget population and study setting: Senior high school students will be recruited from Taipei city, Taiwan.\n\nSample size and sampling method: Participants will be sampled by convenience sampling until thematic saturation is attained, probably around 50 students.\n\nData collection: Face-to-face in-depth interview with semi-structured questionnaire will be used.\n\nData analysis: All interviews will be voice-recorded, transcribed, analyzed by thematic analysis procedure. Analysis process will include familiarization, coding, searching for themes, reviewing the themes, defining, naming themes and writing up or weaving the analytic narrative. Triangulation and supervision will also ensure credibility and balance in the process.', 'detailedDescription': 'Background and significance: Though the problem of bullying among adolescents is evidently increasing and of a serious social concern, it is often undetected, overlooked and noticeable only after serious outcomes have surfaced. In the recent years, along with the rapid expansion of internet, social network services (SNS) and smart phones, bullying through such electronic means, "cyber-bullying", has been growing. Compared to the traditional bullying cyberbullying is unique in nature and potentially more hazardous in terms of invisibility, lack of control, where it enables communication with a broad range of people at any time and at any place.

The investigators hope that the investigators study could contribute to the deeper understanding of the magnitude and impact of the bullying among adolescents in Taiwan and to inform public policy and future health intervention programs which may be beneficial not only to the Taiwan but to Asia, as a whole, as many Asian countries now suffer the similar problems of bullying among adolescents as the countries share similar characteristics of development (spread of internet, SNSs and smart phones) having resembling lifestyle and values.\n\nStudy purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of traditional bullying and cyberbullying and the association between cyber-bullying and traditional bullying with mental health among Taiwanese adolescents.\n\nStudy design: A mixed methods research design with qualitative study followed by quantitative study will be used in this research. Senior high school students will be included in Taiwan. For qualitative phase of this study, purposive sampling will be used to recruit students. For the quantitative phase of the study, sampling will be conducted by probability proportionate to size sampling procedure. For the qualitative phase of this study, in depth interview will be used to develop the quantitative questionnaire. An anonymous questionnaire developed from qualitative will be used to measure the variable of self-esteem, depression, suicidal ideation, traditional bullying and cyberbullying.\n\nData analysis: For qualitative study, all interviews will be voice-recorded, transcribed, analyzed by thematic analysis procedure. Quantitative data will be statistically analyzed by using SAS software. Descriptive data will be calculated for all variables.
