A nonrandom selection of 245 students at a public university in the State of Mexico was conducted to establish the normal distribution, reliability, validity, correlation, covariance structure and set of instruments that measured seven perceptual variables as determinants of cyberbullying. The results show that the interplay between perceptual variables made it possible to determine cyberbullying perceived control (β = 0.67).
