A myriad of theories have been used to better understand the issue and its implications on victims in a range of settings and moreover ascertaining what conditions cultivates a cyberbully and its connection to social deviance (Anderson & Sturm, 2007; Bandura, 1989; Bandura 1990; Diamanduros, Downs, & Jenkins, 2008).
