Abstract	In this study, we explore the differences between learners who perpetrate cyberbullying and traditional bullying in Gauteng with regard to their sociodemographic characteristics and the level of self-reported, authoritarian parenting they experienced. This study was conducted on Grade Six and Seven learners from four primary schools in Benoni, Gauteng (N = 279). Pupils completed an adapted version of the Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (R-OBVQ) and items from the Parenting Practices Questionnaire (PPQ), which measured the authoritarian parenting style. Results revealed that grade was significantly associated with both traditional and cyberbullying perpetration; Grade Six learners were significantly more likely to have perpetrated traditional bullying behaviours, ?[superscript 2] (3, N = 272) = 9.26, p < 0.05, and Grade Seven learners were more likely to have perpetrated cyberbullying behaviours, ?[superscript 2] (1, N = 272) = 5.96, p < 0.05. Age was significantly associated with cyberbullying perpetration only, with older learners more likely to perpetrate such behaviours, ?[superscript 2] (2, N = 272) = 9.24, p < 0.05. Both types of bullying were significantly related to self-reported, authoritarian parenting, therein suggesting that this parenting style is more prevalent in the households of bullying perpetrators (As Provided).
