Abstract: Cyberbullying is a globally prevalent issue that has deterred its venom in organisations, too. No physical boundary or defence mechanism is able to defend people against it. The majority of the studies on cyberbullying primarily focus on victims, and perspectives of cyberbullies are largely ignored. This study explores generation and demographic-based differences in cyberbullying attitudes of the bullies using the Indian cyberbullying attitude scale (ICBAS). We used a t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and post-hoc analysis to examine variations in cyberbullying attitudes. The results revealed significant variations based on generation, gender, education level, profession, and daily usage of information and communication technology (ICT) tools. Income level-based variations in cyberbullying were reported as statistically non-significant. It is one of its kind studies that explores generational and demographic differences in cyberbullying perpetration, especially in India.
