ABSTRACT
We begin Chapter 2 with a review of common methodological approaches to study cyber-risks such as cyberbullying. The need for further qualitative research is discussed in relation to existing quantitative approaches, including surveys with large, representative samples. Our methodological approach is geared to the goal of exploring the contexts and lived experiences of teens towards cyber-risk from the perspective of teens themselves. The focus group design of our research is explicated, followed by details of our sample (i.e., locations of interviews, demographics of participants). We then provide an overview of our process of engaging this research, and data analysis before concluding the chapter with a discussion of positionality, reflexivity and ethical considerations.
