Introduction. Cyberbullying has been more common than the traditional bullying in recent years. As with the traditional bullying, humane values likely to explain the reason why adolescents tend to bully via cyber-means. Cyber-bullying behaviors also reasoned by adolescent's sensibility towards it.

The study employed the Humane Values Scale, the Cyberbullying Scale and the Cyberbullying Sensibility'' scale. Predictive relationships between humane values of adolescents, cyberbullying and cyberbullying sensibility were analyzed with the Structural Equivalence Model by using the AMOS 19 computer program. Results. Results of the study revealed that each of the humane values like respect, being peaceful, friendship and responsibility are statistically meaningful predictors of cyberbullying sensibility. Besides it was seen that honesty and being peaceful are significant predictors of cyberbullying. Discussion and Conclusion.

In this sense, a decrease can be observed in also the tendencies to cyberbullying of the adolescents whose sensitivity has increased.
