THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

I3 theory

I3 theory (Slotter & Finkel, 2011) or pronounced as I-cubed theory, is a theory

emphasizing the factors driving aggression to a person. The theory also refers to how a

non-aggressive environment can turn into an aggressive one, and mainly talks about the

aggressive side of the party. Cyber aggression (Grigg, 2010) is also being called upon

this theory, for it defines as how a person uses electronic media to cause harm to other

people.

Social Dominance theory on bullying

Social Dominance theory emphasizes the person’s attitude towards hierarchies, as well

as the belief that certain people should dominate others. In the perspective of bullying

(Goodboy, Martin, & Rittenour, 2016), it states that having dominance to other people

drives the person’s attitude in bullying. Relating to online misogyny, bullying is the

first factor considering how a person belittle others.

Conflict Theory on Gender Perspective

Conflict Theory states that social problems occur when a dominant group mistreats a

subordinate one. In gender-based (Lumen, 2018), it states that men always see

themselves as dominant over women, thus creating the waves of patriarchy between

Young players today are open-minded students expecting more to add from their online

learning experiences (Warden, Stanworth, & Chang, 2016). However, we should ask

teachers and administrators the majority of students who are not disadvantaged in such

a class and whether gender plays a role. It examines the degree to which our gaming

and gender experiences influence the feeling of being in a classroom in the virtual

world of our learning. Feelings of presence are key to participating in virtual worlds.

The connection of the book to the researcher’s study is that most women, even though

are well-known in their games about the online and the Internet, are still at disadvantage

at some point. Some people need to see both gender striving to be better, and not see

technology as men-based learning only.
