Flaming and trolling as forms of verbal aggression in the Internet

Summary/Abstract: The Internet is increasingly becoming a place of humiliation, bullying or other forms of verbal aggression. Insults and criticisms presented in the Internet, which acts as a sort of “smoke curtain,” come much easier than in a direct, face-to-face contact. The study confirms a frequent occurrence of uncontrollable bullying critics and others. An impersonal nature of the Internet promotes a more aggressive message than in the offline world, of importance here is also a greater emotional distance, and thus a lower degree of empathy in relation to the recipient. As it is apparent from the CBOS research conducted in 2008, around 11% of the respondents meet with the acts of aggression in the Internet. Some of these acts include aggressive or obscene content in the spam, or unwanted e-mails.
