This study focuses on the intention of children to commit cyber bullying and sexual harassment by using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between key components of TPB (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) and the intention of children to commit cyber bullying and sexual harassment. This study also examines whether gender moderates the relationship between key components of TPB and the intention of children to commit cyber bullying and sexual harassment. A quantitative approach using questionnaire was used to collect data involving 310 children aged 13 to below 18 years old. The sampling techniques applied include purposive and stratified sampling techniques. Based on the findings of this study, the degree of intention of children to commit cyber bullying and sexual harassment in Putrajaya was at low degree (Mean=1.58, Std. Deviation=0.707). The findings revealed that attitude and subjective norms have positive significant relationship with the intention of children to commit cyber bullying and sexual harassment (attitude, r=0.504, p<0.01; subjective norms, r=0.365, p<0.05). The attitude was found the most influential component of TPB that influenced the intention of children to commit cyber bullying and sexual harassment (ß=0.485, t=8.113, p<0.01). Further, the relationship between attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control and the intention of children to commit cyber bullying and sexual harassment are not moderated by gender. The overall findings of this study proved that the Theory of Planned Behavior is one of the best theory for predicting children’s intention to commit cyber bullying and sexual harassment. As attitude was found the most influencing factor for children’s intention to commit cyber bullying and sexual harassment; many parties (government ministries, agencies, schools) need to design programs to shape children’s attitude not to accept bullying as part of their behavior. A good attitude will ensure our children not to engage in unacceptable behavior. Hence, this study hoped to reduce the cyber bullying and sexual harassment issue, not only among children, but also among all people across the world.
