Cyberspace aggression is a behaviour that is a relatively new phenomenon which can have significant consequences for young people's wellbeing due to the specific technological affordances of social media. This research is an investigation of the contribution of access intensity to the use of social media and cyber skills in the form of youth cyber wellness on cyber aggression behaviours. The study involved 283 high school students, aged 15-21 years in Kota Padang, Indonesia, using a self-report scale approach. The results of multivariate regression tests with ANCOVA show that the intensity of using gadgets and cyber health was proven to contribute to student cyber aggression even though the intensity of using social media separately had no significant effect on cyber aggression behaviours. The MANOVA test results explain that there were differences between cyber health and cyber aggression on male and female students. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
