Industrial Management Bullying has existed since the dawn of humanity, but not much emphasis was placed on the issue in the early days.

This research has undertaken to determine the influence of personality traits on cyberbullying behaviour. The traits investigated are Extraversion, Introversion, Neuroticism, Impulsiveness and one of the dark triad personality traits, Narcissism. In addition, the study suggests that other vital factors that act as conduit pipe for cyberbullying, are Facebook Usage, Internet Addiction, and Privacy Concern. Moreover, Selfitis, a trait that many users are showing nowadays, is also hypothesised to moderate the relationship between Narcissism and Cyberbullying Behaviour.
