The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree of cyber bullying spread among public and private Jordanian universities students and its relationship to psychological adjustment, as well as the differences of this relationship that can be attributed to gender, university type, academic major and study level. A 35-item questionnaire was developed to measure cyber bullying and the psychological adjustment used by students to face bullying. It consisted of (9) items measuring technological bullying and (26) items measuring psychological adjustment. The questionnaire was administrated on (500) male and female students selected through random cluster sampling using descriptive correlation approach. Findings showed that the most prevalence type of cyber bullying is social media such as Facebook with a moderate prevalence degree, and the psychological adjustment came within the same moderate degree. The findings also showed that there is a correlation between cyber bullying and the psychological adjustment. Further results indicated a difference in the relationship due to gender in favor of males, and in the major in favor of scientific specialization, and the type of College in favor of private universities; while there was no difference due to study level. The study recommended setting a strict plan to control social media sites inside the universities to reduce cyber bullying. (Published abstract)
