In this study, the researcher developedaninstrument to measure the level ofadolescents’knowledge and perceivedawareness on cyber-bullying. This instrument is knownas the Cyber-bullying Knowledge and Awareness Instrument (CBKAi).Content validity wasperformed to determine whether the instrument comprises a representative sampleof thebehaviour domain to be measured. CBKAi was validated by a senior lecturer from a publicuniversity who is also an expert in cyber-bullying and also two secondary schoolcounsellors.Apart from that,CBKAi was also tested for its reliability with 30 respondents. TheCronbach’s alpha internal consistency reliability coefficient for the instrument is 0.919 foritems that are related to knowledge and 0.810 for items that are related for perceivedawareness. The statistics show that CBKAi is a reliable instrument to be utilized to measureknowledge and perceived awareness towards cyber-bullying among adolescents.
