摘要：Nowadays, there are a lot of research being done regarding cyberbullying issues. However, there are debates among researchers due to inconsistencies in defining cyberbullying. The development of cyberbullying definition is difficult to establish because there are no agreements among the researchers on the similarities and differences between traditional bullying and cyberbullying. Cyberbullying tends to borrow the definition from traditional bullying and extends the definition by adding criterion which suits the cyber world, where it happens through the use of electronic communications. The definitional criteria of cyberbullying is important to establish the definition of cyberbullying that may help to understand the concept of cyberbullying in depth and differ the cyberbullying from traditional bullying in an aspect of its definition. The aim of this study is to classify the criteria of cyberbullying using the conceptual definitions developed by researchers from all around the world. This study is based on systematic literature review by using PRISMA flowchart and a table of analysis on the criteria of cyberbullying. The findings identified on the criteria of cyberbullying are intentional, repetition, power imbalance, anonymity, publicity, aggression, and electronic devices and media. As the technology development is become more advanced in a short time, the research on the criteria of cyberbullying should be updated by time in order to align with the technology advancement. Besides, the research on other areas in cyberbullying may be developed as this paper may help in depth understanding on the criteria of cyberbullying to other researchers.
