While the internet has transformed the world into a global community, it exposes its users to various perils such
as cyberbullying and cybervictimization. This study intended to scrutinize the role of cyberbullying and
cybervictimization in self-esteem and interpersonal trust of young adults. A sample of 200 young adults (100
men; 100 women) between the age range 18 to 22 years were recruited from Beaconhouse National University;
Lahore, Pakistan. Participants were administered the Revised Cyberbullying Inventory II (Topcu & ErdurBaker, 2018), Rosenberg‟s Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) and Rotter‟s Interpersonal Trust Scale (Rotter,
1967) with a self-developed demographic information questionnaire. Results revealed a significant positive
correlation among cyberbullying and cybervictimization. Moreover, cybervictimization significantly positively
predicted interpersonal trust. Results also identified that self-esteem significantly negatively predicted
interpersonal trust. It was also observed that men were engaged significantly more in cyberbullying than
women. However, no pronounced gender differences were observed in cybervictimization, self-esteem or
interpersonal trust. Implications of the results pertaining to society, particularly concerned authorities and
victims of cyberbullying are discussed.
