The Most Influential Digital Environment Tools on the Proliferation of Digital Misconduct - A Field Study with a Sample of Digital Media Users

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of digital environmental factors, including mobile
phones, electronic games, and social media platforms, on digital deviance. The research
community was identified among a group of electronic game players and social media users.
A sample of 20 participants was selected purposively. The descriptive analytical method was
employed, and a questionnaire was used as the study tool. Findings indicate that the digital
environment serves as a nurturing ground for digital deviance, and there is a significant
correlation between digital environmental factors and digital deviance among participants.
