In today's digital age, cyberbullying has emerged as a pervasive issue that affects individuals across various social media platforms and digital communication channels. This review explores the developmental trajectory of cyberbullying as an interdisciplinary academic field, employing a unique combination of co-word analysis and main path analysis (MPA) across a substantial body of 5183 documents. This integrated methodological approach allows for a nuanced examination of the evolution of themes and influential works within the realm of cyberbullying research. The findings highlight a complex landscape where initial focus areas, such as the behavioral and psychological triggers of cyberbullying, progressively expand towards exploring effective preventive measures and intervention strategies. Key themes identified include the impact of digital literacy, the dual role of social media as both a vector and a tool against cyberbullying, and the potential of technological advancements in detecting and mitigating cyberbullying. This comprehensive mapping and analysis deepens our understanding of cyberbullying and highlights the dynamic nature of this field, suggesting new directions for future research and practical applications to effectively address cyberbullying across various social and technological contexts. This study represents a pioneering effort in synthesizing a broad spectrum of research to offer detailed insights into the changing dynamics of cyberbullying, marking a significant contribution to both academic knowledge and practical approaches to handling cyberbullying.
在当今数字时代，网络欺凌已成为一个普遍存在的问题，影响着各个社交媒体平台和数字通信渠道上的个人。本综述探讨了网络欺凌作为一个跨学科研究领域的发展轨迹，采用了共词分析和主路径分析（MPA）的独特组合，分析了5183篇文献。这种综合的方法论方法能够对网络欺凌研究领域中主题和有影响力的作品的演变进行细致入微的考察。研究结果凸显了一个复杂的局面，其中网络欺凌的行为和心理触发因素等最初的重点领域，逐渐扩展到探索有效的预防措施和干预策略。确定的关键主题包括数字素养的影响、社交媒体作为网络欺凌的传播媒介和抵制工具的双重作用，以及技术进步在检测和减轻网络欺凌方面的潜力。这种全面的映射和分析加深了我们对网络欺凌的理解，并凸显了该领域的动态性质，为未来研究和实际应用指明了新方向，以便在各种社会和技术背景下有效应对网络欺凌。这项研究是一项开创性的工作，综合了广泛的研究，为网络欺凌不断变化的动态提供了详细的见解，对学术知识和处理网络欺凌的实际方法都做出了重大贡献。
