The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between cyberbullying victimization, acculturative stress, and depression among international college students. The research questions guiding the analysis of this research were: (a) Does cyberbullying-victimization predict acculturative stress? (b) Does cyberbullying victimization have a direct effect on depression? (c) Does cyberbullying victimization have an indirect effect on depression mediated by acculturative stress? A total of 178 international college students participated in the study. The instrument data were analyzed using path analysis. Results suggested that cyberbullying victimization significantly predicted acculturative stress among international college students. Results also suggested that cyberbullying-victimization had a direct effect on depression, as well as an indirect effect on depression mediated by acculturative stress. The results are discussed in detail herein. Implications of the findings, as well as limitations of the study are presented. Recommendations of future research are also provided.
