The Role of Gratitude Towards the Resilience Among Late Adolescents Cyberbullying Victims

Abstract

The high use of the internet in Indonesia has an impact on the emergence of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying that is currently happening is a problem that must be addressed immediately because so many cyberbullying victims commit suicide because they are not strong enough to face the pressure. For that, it is necessary to have gratitude to make a happier mood which can then minimize the negative feelings it causes. This study used a non-experimental correlational quantitative method involving 403 participants (280 women and 123 men). Participants in this study can be concluded to have a high level of gratitude, in contrast to having a moderate level of resilience. It can be interpreted that the participants of this study have very good life gratitude, but the ability to rise from pressure still needs to be improved. Based on the results of data testing using the linear regression analysis technique t-7.821, p = 0.000, R square = 0.132. The results of this study can be concluded that there is a significant role of gratitude toward the resilience in late adolescents who are victims of cyberbullying.
