Abstract: The present literature review summarizes current knowledge on successful responses tocyberbullying. We differentiate between three different response domains: reducing risks,combatting the problem, and buffering negative impact. A systematic literature search wasconducted yielding 36 relevant studies. Most of these report findings regarding generalprevention strategies (e.g., anti-bullying policies or cybersafety strategies) and the use ofcoping strategies such as seeking support, reactions towards cyberbullies (retaliation orconfronting), technical solutions and avoidant and emotion-focused strategies. Whilst a fewstudies reported on perceived success, very few studies measure the success of the strategiesin relation to cyberbullying, its risks and outcomes. In summary, although there are a numberof studies investigating responses to cyberbullying, there is a clear lack of evidenceconcerning the question “what are successful responses?”.
