| dc.description.abstract | This chapter presents the findings of a small pilot study that investigated perceptions regarding online safety amongst Pacific Islander adults studying in Australia. The chapter covers research involving two group interviews in which topics of conversation included understandings of the term ‘online safety’, reflections upon any changes in attitudes towards online safety since moving temporarily to Australia, and strategies employed by group members to enhance safety in online environments. The chapter provides insights into differing views and a range of strategies employed by a small group of research participants. It suggests ideas for further development of research exploring the attitudes of Pacific Islanders with regard to online safety. The chapter describes the research design and then presents the findings. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research.
