Abstract

This study aimed to test the construct validity and construct reliability on the cyberbullying scale, and to
examine the forms and indicators reflecting the construct of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying was measured by a
cyberbullying scale that referred to the forms of cyberbullying, namely harassment, denigration, flaming,
impersonation, masquerading, pseudonym, outing and trickery, and cyberstalking. The populations in this study
were 393 2nd grade students at X, Y, Z high schools in Yogyakarta. The sample in this study were 146 students
from 6 classes consisting of 93 males and 53 females with an age range of 16-17 years. The sampling technique
used cluster random sampling. The cyberbullying scale was adopted as the data collection method. The data of
this study were analyzed using Structural Equational Model (SEM) through the SmartPLS 3.2.8 program. Based
on the results of the analysis, the forms and indicators creating the construct of cyberbullying were declared as
valid and reliable. The most dominant form reflecting cyberbullying was masquerading with a loading factor of
0.879. Meanwhile, the weakest form reflecting cyberbullying was outing and trickery, with a loading factor
value of 0.638. This showed that all forms and indicators were able to reflect and form the construct of
cyberbullying. Thus, the measurement model could be accepted because the theory that describes cyberbullying
is in accordance with empirical data obtained through the subject.
