Abstract
The present study investigates aftereffects of adolescences’ experience of cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is defined as bullying via electronic communication tools. We surveyed 321 late adolescent university students in Japan. The results showed that victimization on the internet significantly raised current levels of anxiety and frustration. On the other hand, victimization on the mail did not affect current mental problems. Internet and mail had different communication function (mass communication/ personal communication), so the different function might have different psychological impacts on late adolescent mental health.
