Abstract
There has been very little research that has studied the capacities that can be fostered to mitigate the risk
for involvement in electronic bullying or victimization and almost no research examining positive electronic
behavior. The primary goal of this dissertation was to use the General Aggression Model and Anxious
Apprehension Model of Trauma to explore the underlying cognitive, emotional, and self-regulation processes
that are related to electronic bullying, victimization, and prosocial behavior. In Study 1, we explored several
potential interpretations of the General Aggression Model that would accurately describe the relationship that
electronic self-conscious appraisal, cognitive reappraisal, and activational control may have with electronic
bullying and victimization. In Study 2, we used the Anxious Apprehension Model of Trauma to explore
rejection cognitions as the mediator of the relationships among emotionality (emotionality, shame, state
emotion responses, and physiological arousal) and electronic bullying and victimization using structural
equation modelling. In addition, we explored the role of rejection cognitions in mediating the relationship of
moral disengagement with electronic bullying. In Study 3, we examined predictors of electronic prosocial
behavior, such as bullying, victimization, time online, electronic proficiency, electronic self-conscious
appraisals, emotionality, and self-regulation. All three studies supported the General Aggression Model as a
framework to guide the study of electronic behavior, and suggest the importance of cognitive, emotional, and
behavioral means of regulation in shaping electronic behavior. In addition, each study has implications for the
development of high quality electronic bullying prevention and intervention research.
