Abstract

The main objective of the research study was to measure the relationship of online guardianship with the chances of online harassment that faced by the universities students of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The concept of guardianship was adopted from Routine Activity Theory (RAT). It was a descriptive and survey analytical research. The population of the study was all universities students of KP. 800 Students were selected from the 6 universities of KP. The collected data were processed, tabulated, explained and interpreted through multiple regression analysis. The findings of the studies reveal that the guardian's restriction of online activities and guardian's monitoring of online activities of the young adults decrease the likelihood of cyber harassment. In the light of the said findings, certain major recommendations were made in order to achieve the maximum benefits of the study.
