The Effectiveness of an AI-Supported Cyberbullying Awareness Program on Adolescents' Cyberbullying

With the increasing prevalence of cyberbullying among adolescents today, there is a greater focus on interventions targeting cyberbullying. In Turkey, cyberbullying awareness programs developed in collaboration between the Ministry of National Education (MEB) Directorate General of Special Education and Guidance Services and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) are being used. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the cyberbullying awareness program developed by the MEB by enriching it with AI-supported content.

With the advancement of technology, most adolescents can easily access online environments for various purposes such as communicating with others, playing games, searching for information, and socializing. Although this development offers adolescents many opportunities, it can also cause them to encounter some difficult situations. One of these difficulties is cyberbullying, which adolescents encounter in online environments. This research is important because it aims to increase adolescents' awareness of cyberbullying and examine the reduction of cyberbullying behaviors among adolescents using an awareness program enriched with AI-supported content.
