Recent investigations into deviant behaviors in digital contexts have largely centered around the concepts of cyber deviance and online deviance. This integrative review sheds light on the multifaceted nature of these behaviors, highlighting how they manifest in various online environments. The research emphasizes that digital platforms have become fertile grounds for a wide range of deviant actions, from cyberbullying and trolling to more serious offenses like identity theft and cybercrime.
The review categorizes these behaviors, examining the psychological and sociocultural factors that contribute to individuals engaging in deviant acts online. It reveals that anonymity and the lack of immediate consequences in digital spaces often embolden individuals to act in ways they might not in face-to-face interactions. Furthermore, the findings suggest that understanding these behaviors is crucial for developing effective interventions and policies aimed at promoting safer online environments.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the implications of this research are significant for educators, policymakers, and mental health professionals seeking to address the challenges posed by online deviance.
