Crynodeb:This study analyzed the psychometric properties of a scale to measure coping with cyber-bullying among university students. Non-probability sampling was used to select 346 higher education students from a public university in southern Sonora (Mexico). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed, reliability was tested with Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega, and the mean variance was analyzed. The results revealed a sustainable model for measuring coping with cyber-bullying that comprised three factors: seeking social support, evasive technical solution, and proactive technical solution. It is concluded that the scale has the necessary psychometric properties to measure this construct in university students.
