The study described in the article is a qualitative research as it seeks to explore a phenomenon whose outcomes are unknown. The study investigates the problem of cyberbullying victimization of children addicted to the use of the Internet (Tokunaga, 2010, p. 277). The study's findings are important for teachers and parents whose children are victims of cyberbullying. Guardians can use the findings to identify and manage Internet addiction and cyberbullying among children (Tokunaga, 2010, p. 282). The main limitation of the study is that it uses a very small sample, which compromises the validity of the results. The article uses correlational research, as it seeks to identify the statistical relationship between two variables: video games and youth violence.

In the article the main dependent variable is youth violence, while the independent variable is video games (Ferguson, 2010, p. 381). The article will be important in my work, as it would allow me to understand child and adolescent psychology and behavior. The findings of the article indicate that violent video games cause young people to engage in violent behavior, as they often try to act out what they see in them (Ferguson, 2010, p. 387). Although the study produced reliable results, it is not representative of the target population. The study involved all participants from the Hispanic community, implying that its findings cannot be used to draw a representative conclusion that includes adolescents from other racial and ethnic groups. The study is a casual comparative research as it seeks to identify the cause of a . ..... middle of paper ......research studies.
