Discussion
Overall, none of the quantitative analyses led to statistically significant findings. The
strength or weakness of the cyberbullying policy was not significantly correlated to a higher or
lower awareness level or confidence level. Due to the very similar nature of responses, it was
found that middle school principals have a high awareness of their district’s cyberbullying
policies. They also reported having high confidence in implementing their district’s
cyberbullying policies. As mentioned previously, response bias contamination could have
impacted the way that respondents answered the survey responses. For example, Rennie (1982)
suggested that response bias has been evidenced particularly in response sets with Likert-type
scales, possibly due to respondents’ likelihood of choosing an extreme response or a neutral
response more often. Since the present survey was formatted as a Likert response scale,
response bias could have impacted the results, with middle school principals choosing “Strongly
Agree” the most frequently. In addition, Rennie (1982) reported that most affective scales are
typically designed so that half of the questions are worded in the positive direction and half are
