WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Cyberaggression Questionnaire (CYBA) Test

aggressiveness cyberpsychology

This measure is designed to assess self-reported cyberaggressive behaviors in adolescents and to support screening of problematic online interactions. The Cyberaggression Questionnaire (CYBA) uses a brief, structured format to characterize the frequency or tendency toward different expressions of aggression in digital contexts.

The instrument contains 19 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture multiple manifestations of online aggression (e.g., insulting, threatening, provoking), yielding an overall indicator that may be used in research or applied school and clinical settings.

The Cyberaggression Questionnaire (CYBA) is attributed here to Brad J. Bushman and Craig A. Anderson. Results should be interpreted within the broader clinical and contextual assessment (including setting, peer dynamics, and risk factors) rather than as a standalone diagnostic determination.
