Storytelling fights cyberbullying: new study shows promise

NCT ID NCT06508736

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a storytelling program could reduce cyberbullying and increase empathy in 71 fifth- and sixth-grade students who were involved in cyberbullying. Half the students took part in four storytelling sessions, while the other half did not. Researchers measured changes in cyberbullying behavior and empathy levels right after the program, and again at 3 and 6 months later. The goal was to see if storytelling could help students understand each other better and stop bullying online.
