5. Objectives • to attempt to reach consensus on an operational definition of cyberbullying • to discuss methodological issues (sampling, research design, statistical analyses) that could increase the quality and consistency of research in this area • to examine and evaluate existing measures and identify promising measures that could be piloted and subjected to rigorous psychometric analyses in different countries • to identify substantive research questions that should be addressed to advance this field of inquiry • to plan future collaborative projects (including an edited book) to address these questions

6. Format • Brief introductions • Include welcome from Linda Shaw, Department Head • Paperwork for stipends • As a whole group, generate topics, issues, items that we think each committee should address. • Finalize committees, move to locations, and work on the task • Tuesday evening, we will share the position papers with the whole group, get feedback and attempt to reach consensus on the content. • Plan for finalizing papers, dissenting opinions, etc. • Wednesday will be to plan the book, collaborative projects going forward, and follow-up contact.
