| Abstract: | This study aims to explore anti-cyberbullying attitudes among Generation Z as an expression of their responsibility as global citizens. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 86 Generation Z respondents from Surakarta and surrounding areas. The respondents' characteristics are as follows: the majority were born between 2005 and 2008 (74.4%), reside in urban areas (55.8%), are female (81.4%), and nearly all have social media accounts (98.8%). Approximately 20.9% reported having experienced cyberbullying victimization. The results indicate that, overall, respondents hold positive attitudes toward anti-cyberbullying. Based on three attitude indicators: cognitive, affective, and conative, the distribution of responses on a Likert scale (ranging from 1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree) is as follows: for the cognitive dimension, 45% strongly agree, 22% agree, 17% are neutral, 8% disagree, and 8% strongly disagree; for the affective dimension, 65% strongly agree, 14% agree, 9% are neutral, 4% disagree, and 8% strongly disagree; and for the conative dimension, 2% strongly agree, 1% agree, 7% are neutral, 23% disagree, and 67% strongly disagree. These findings suggest that young people demonstrate a relatively strong awareness of the importance of anti-cyberbullying attitudes, although there is still room for further enhancement of understanding and commitment. Within the context of globalization, such attitudes represent a crucial aspect of moral and social responsibility as global citizens. |
