Abstract

Cyberbullying is a form of bullying that occurs through the use of electronic communication technology or other digital media and is rife, especially among teenagers on the social networking site Instagram. Peer relationships influence adolescents to conform to peer groups and can lead to the involvement of teens in deviant behavior, such as cyberbullying. The existence of self-control is associated with the ability of adolescents to avoid demands for conformity from their peer groups. The aim of this study was to examine the role of Conformity toward the Self Control in cyberbullying perpetration among adolescents on the social networking site Instagram. This study involved 176 respondents, and aged 12 to 21 years. This study used quantitative non-experimental approach with regression analysis technique. Researchers use three measuring instruments, including Conformity Scale, Self-control Scale, and Cyberbullying Offending Scale for screening. The results of data analysis show t = -4.695, p = 0.000, R square = 0.112, these means that conformity has a significant role to adolescence cyberbullying perpetrator self-control.
