Abstract

The widespread use of X (formally Twitter) among adolescents facilitates social connection while also increasing exposure to cyberbullying, which can have a negative impact on mental health. This study examined the association between emotional quotient (EQ) and cyberbullying behavior among adolescent X users in Surakarta, Indonesia. Using a quantitative correlational design, 109 adolescents aged 15–18 years were recruited via purposive sampling. Measures included a cyberbullying scale (α = .933) developed from Willard’s (2007) framework and an EQ scale (α = .921) based on Goleman (2009). Data were analyzed with Spearman’s rank correlation using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26.0. EQ was significantly and negatively related to cyberbullying behavior (Spearman’s ρ = −.435, p < .05). These results indicate that higher EQ is associated with lower tendencies toward cyberbullying among adolescent social media users. Future research could test causal mechanisms and evaluate whether EQ-focused programs are associated with reductions in cyberbullying.
