I am interested in arguing in online environment. How come people tend to be more violent (if any) in online environment than in off-line one?

Therefore, "online violence" seems a good choice as a search term.

Sage journal returned a 23 research articles on this topic.

  * [[https://journals.sagepub.com/action/doSearch?field1=AllField&text1=%22online+violence%22&Ppub=&Ppub=&AfterYear=&BeforeYear=&earlycite=on&access=|Sage result]]
  * But, the results tend to be more serious (like crime, sexual harassment, etc.) than online arguments. 
  * Therefore, I changed the term, "online argument".
  * Now the results returns 9 articles, some of which contain the idea of "cyberbullying". 
  * "Cyberbullying" resulted in [[https://journals.sagepub.com/action/doSearch?text1=%22cyberbullying%22|827 articles]]. While the results expanded, I began to be more curious about this term. So, I add a search term, "communication theory" to see if there are any attempts to explain online bullying. 
  * Although there are many articles, the below article seems to be relevant to my interests. 
    * [[https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0044118X11398881|High School Students’ Perceptions of Coping With Cyberbullying]]
  * I combined "cyberbullying" + "theoretical argument" to see if more meaningful result come out. I got [[https://journals.sagepub.com/action/doSearch?content=articlesChapters&countTerms=true&target=default&field1=AllField&text1=cyberbullying&field2=AllField&text2=%22theoretical+explanation%22&Ppub=&Ppub=&AfterYear=&BeforeYear=&earlycite=on&access=|6 articles]]
  * But, the articles do not seem very interesting to me. 
  * I changed the media to google and searched [[https://www.google.co.kr/search?q=social+theories+about+cyberbullying&oq=social+theories+about+cyberbullying&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.10119j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8|"social theories about cyberbullying"]]
  * This led me to an site: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/311366266_Relevant_theories_for_cyberbullying_research
  * Hence, I searched a term, "cyberbullying in online games"
    * [[https://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/kids-on-social-media-and-gaming/index.html|the US government site on cyberbullying]]
  
Also, I used a term, [[https://www.google.co.kr/search?ei=HlKhXO75AaW1mAXl15OABw&q=social+theory+on+online+group+polarization&oq=social+theories+on+online+group+pola&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.33i22i29i30.22242.33305..34777...2.0..0.152.4094.14j24......0....1..gws-wiz.......0j0i67j0i10j0i22i30j0i8i13i30j33i10._RHHWMzgYqs|"social theory on online group polarization"]] in google. 

Several theories came up.
