Previous studies have focused on behavior change theories to prevent cyberbullying, but have overlooked the role of law enforcement. The method employed involved conducting an extensive literature review and comparative analysis to elicit and identify the key constructs and items for the study then followed by a pilot study to test the feasibility and adequacy of the instrument. The pilot study was conducted with 80 respondents to test its validity and reliability. The pilot study’s results are also described in the paper, which demonstrates the reliability, validity, and practicality of the constructs for measuring the proposed model. The results showed that the instruments are valid, reliable, and useful for measuring cyberbullying in digital games.

Cyberbullying involves repeated electronic harassment that can cause mental health issues for the victim. Previous studies have focused on behavior change theories to prevent cyberbullying, but have overlooked the role of law enforcement. The method employed involved conducting an extensive literature review and comparative analysis to elicit and identify the key constructs and items for the study then followed by a pilot study to test the feasibility and adequacy of the instrument. The pilot study was conducted with 80 respondents to test its validity and reliability. The pilot study’s results are also described in the paper, which demonstrates the reliability, validity, and practicality of the constructs for measuring the proposed model. The results showed that the instruments are valid, reliable, and useful for measuring cyberbullying in digital games.
