Abstract: 
Over 40% of American adults experience online harassment. As the nation struggles with questions of internet safety vs. freedom of speech, one must consider the impact of online abuse on victims. This paper builds on prior research of cyber harassment by extending the investigation to relational and societal-level effects of online harassment of women and potential moderating effect of support. Results revealed individual, relational and social impacts of cyberbullying. We discuss implications for addressing online harassment.
