Cyberbullying is an aggressive behavior that aims to hurt others in social networks through digital devices connected to the internet. Cyberbullying has negative impacts on its victims such as trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional disorders. The purpose of this study is to confirm the effectiveness of behavioristic counseling modeling and role-playing techniques to reduce cyberbullying in male and female students. This study used a factorial experimental design. The subjects in this study were 20 students who attended SMA Negeri 3 Mataram and SMK Negeri 2 Mataram, Indonesia. Data were collected using a cyberbullying scale. Data analysis used repeated measure Anava statistics. The results of this study reveal that behavioristic counseling with modeling and role-playing techniques is effective for reducing cyberbullying. In addition, it is obtained that the role-playing technique is superior to the modeling technique in reducing cyberbullying. Furthermore, the data obtained in this study showed that there was no significant difference between female students and male students in terms of the ability to reduce cyberbullying. Behavioral counseling can effectively reduce cyberbullying. In addition, behavioral counseling assisted by role-playing techniques is more effective in helping to reduce students' cyberbullying behavior than modeling techniques using videos.
