Abstract	Educators and other professionals working with adolescents have grown increasingly concerned about how technology affects social relationships given the amount of time that is spent engaging in online activities. Cyberbullying has sparked the interest of many researchers due to the tragic events reported in the media, relating to the online victimization that adolescents have experienced. Although there is an increased interest in cyberbullying, most of the current research is focused on the frequency of cyberbullying and on co-occurrence of bullying in school settings and online. Regarding the moral evaluation of cyberbullying, it has been found that cyberbullies display low levels of moral values and emotions. Investigating moral aspects of cyberbullying is important to understand why adolescents engage in these kinds of actions. By knowing how adolescents judge events online, educators can design more effective interventions aimed at preventing cyberbullying. The purpose of the current study was to examine children's moral evaluations of cyberbullying. Additionally, this study was interested in understanding which characteristics of cyberbullying adolescents consider crucial to be classified as a bullying event. (ERIC).
