Part 3; Sociology of Online Harassment
Abstract
Online harassment has evolved into a pervasive and alarming social issue, penetrating
various aspects of modern societies, including mainstream politics. This research delves into the
transformation of online abuse from individual, episodic incidents to sustained, campaign-based
attacks. Focusing on the infamous GamerGate movement as a pivotal case study, this study seeks
to identify and understand the common sociological patterns inherent in online harassment
campaigns.
Drawing upon feminist scholarship and recent research on structural prejudice, the
investigation examines the gendered and racist dimensions of online vituperation. By analyzing
various incidents, the study demonstrates the emergence of a formal structure of behaviour
characterized by three distinct modalities known as the “three orders of online harassment.”
These orders involve severe attacks on the target’s web presence and physical life, person-toperson abuse through social media or email, and the creation of a social climate that encourages
and justifies harassment.
The research highlights the role of gamified systems on social media platforms that
incentivize harassment and contribute to its widespread and persistent nature. By shedding light
on the commonality of this harassment form, irrespective of the diverse groups perpetrating it,
the study underscores the urgency for systemic solutions to address this collective societal
problem. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into the sociology of online
harassment, contributing to both public awareness and academic understanding, and serve as a
foundation for future research and policy implications aimed at curbing this troubling
phenomenon.

Article One
1. APA Citation: Stevens, F., Nurse, J. R., & Arief, B. (2021). Cyber stalking, cyber
harassment and adult mental health: A systematic review. Cyberpsychology, Behavior,
and Social Networking, 24(6), 367-376.
2. The overarching topic(s), problem or puzzle: The impact of cyber stalking and cyber
harassment on adult mental health.
3. Research questions: The authors aim to address the following research questions:
•
What is the prevalence of cyber stalking and cyber harassment among adults?
•
How does cyber stalking and cyber harassment contribute to adult mental
health issues?
•
What are the potential mechanisms through which cyber stalking and cyber
harassment impact adult mental health?
4. What are the authors measuring? HOW are they measuring it? What is the method of
inquiry?
To better understand how cyber-stalking and cyber-harassment affect adult mental health, the
authors perform a comprehensive literature review. They sift through the results of article
searches across many databases, using inclusion and exclusion criteria, to find research that
meets them. The authors used data from selected studies to determine the prevalence of cyberstalking and cyber harassment, methodologies for measuring mental health outcomes, and
processes that relate cyber stalking and cyber harassment to mental health.

5. What were the key findings, the results and conclusions, of the author’s analysis?
According to their findings of Stevens et al., (2021), cyber-stalking and cyber-harassment are
serious concerns that have a harmful influence on the psychological health of many individuals.
According to the study, cyber stalking and cyber harassment are strongly linked to various poor
psychological effects, including higher levels of anxiety, depression, tension, and lower
psychological well-being. These effects may manifest as worry, the sharing of personal
information, a diminished sense of self-worth, and social withdrawal.
6. Why is the research important? What were the weaknesses of the study? (Your analysis
here)
This study is significant because it comprehensively examines how cyber-stalking and cyberharassment influence adult mental health. It brings attention to the issue of online harassment
and the necessity for action to stop it. This study enhances awareness of the negative impacts of
cyber stalking and cyber harassment by combining the latest research and communicating
information to politicians, mental health practitioners, and internet service providers. However, it
should be noted that the study is confined to those included in the systematic review and hence
depends on previous research. The quality and methodology of the studies evaluated may vary,
and some relevant research may have needed to be addressed throughout the screening process.
Furthermore, the study compiles existing research rather than any new source data.

marketing channels and farms’ labor force composition: Female agricultural workers in
the Moroccan vegetable sector. Agribusiness, 37(3), 515-530.
2. The overarching topic(s), problem, or puzzle: The study explores the relationship
between integration in export marketing channels and the labor force composition of
female agricultural workers in the Moroccan vegetable sector.
3. Research questions:
•
How does integration in export marketing channels impact the employment of
female agricultural workers in the Moroccan vegetable sector?
•
What are the factors that influence the presence and participation of female
agricultural workers in export-oriented agricultural activities?
•
How do different dimensions of integration, such as the use of intermediaries
and access to information, affect the employment outcomes of female
agricultural workers?
4. What are the authors measuring? HOW are they measuring it? What is the method of
inquiry?
An in-depth study is conducted on Moroccan female agricultural workers, as well as their labor
force involvement and its link to the integration of export marketing channels. A study of
Moroccan vegetable farms is being conducted to gather information on subjects such as the
number of female agricultural employees and the level of the farms’ market integration for
5
exports. The authors use economic models and statistical studies to investigate the link between
integration and the presence and engagement of women in agriculture.
5. What were the key findings, the results and conclusions, of the author’s analysis?
According to the Bignebat & El Hadad‐Gauthier, (2021), including women in export marketing
channels enhances their employment in the Moroccan vegetable business. There is a link
between a farm’s reliance on export markets and the number of women employed there. The
research also emphasizes the importance of information availability and intermediaries in
supporting the incorporation of women into export-oriented agricultural labor forces. The results
imply that export-oriented agricultural operations may help women achieve economic
independence and gender equality.
6. Why is the research important? What were the weaknesses of the study? (Your analysis
here)
This study is significant because it reveals the connection between the integration of export
marketing channels and the gender distribution of the agricultural labor force. The research sheds
insight into the possible advantages of export-oriented agriculture for women’s employment and
engagement by examining the specific conditions surrounding the Moroccan vegetable industry.
It might help policymakers and agricultural stakeholders develop strategies to increase women’s
economic empowerment and rights in agriculture. However, it should be noted that the research
only looks at one firm in one nation. Therefore its results cannot be extrapolated outside those
boundaries. This research also uses survey data, which may be biased and has measurement
issues of its own. The long-term ramifications of including women in agricultural export
marketing channels must be examined further.

audience intervention in online harassment of women journalists. Journalism Practice, 119.
2. The overarching topic(s), problem, or puzzle: The study focuses on understanding
audience intervention in the online harassment of women journalists. The researchers aim
to explore the factors that influence whether and when individuals intervene to help
women journalists who are subjected to online harassment.
3. Research questions:
•
What are the factors that influence audience intervention in cases of online
harassment targeting women journalists?
•
How does the severity of the harassment, the identity of the perpetrator, and
the perceived support from the community affect the likelihood of audience
intervention?
•
To what extent does empathy play a role in motivating individuals to
intervene in cases of online harassment?
4. What are the authors measuring? HOW are they measuring it? What is the method of
inquiry?
Lu & Luqiu, (2023) evaluate the extent to which viewers act to stop online harassment of female
journalists. Data is collected from a cross-section of the population using an online survey.
Participants are asked to rate their likelihood of intervening to halt specific incidents of online
7
harassment. The authors use statistical analysis and regression models to investigate the
association between harassment intensity, perpetrator identification, perceived community
support, and intervention probability.
5. What were the key findings, the results and conclusions, of the author’s analysis?
The authors conclude that the level of abuse, community support, and empathy all substantially
influence audience engagement in online harassment against women journalists. They’ve
observed that when harassment gets very irritating, people are more willing to step in. Empathy
and support from one’s group improve one’s propensity to act. The results reveal that these
characteristics have a significant impact on how viewers react to cases of online abuse directed
toward female journalists.
6. Why is the research important? What were the weaknesses of the study? (Your analysis
here)
The findings of this study are significant because they shed light on audience engagement in
cases involving online abuse of female journalists. The research offers insight into how
bystanders might assist in stopping online abuse and support victims by evaluating the elements
that influence intervention. The results might be used to develop programs and regulations
encouraging bystander intervention and building a friendly online community. The research
relied on self-reported survey data, which might be skewed toward social desirability or have
difficulty capturing actual intervention activity. Because the research only included female
journalists, the results may not apply to other groups or contexts. To adequately address the
problem of online harassment of women in the media, further study is required to analyze the
efficacy of various intervention measures.
