First, a large pool of items was created based on a thorough review of the literature both on CB and rape myths and discussion with colleagues from the fields of social psychology and research methodology. The initial item pool consisted of 58 items in Greek. Overall, the initial items
could roughly be described as reflecting the following content categories: beliefs regarding the possibility to become a victim of CB (e.g. CB is something that will not happen to me), beliefs about the victim (e.g. CB victims are usually women), beliefs about the perpetrator (e.g. cyber
bullies are usually well built with great physical strength), beliefs about the bystander (e.g. When someone while he/she is online witness cyber bullying has no responsibility for that),
