Abstract：
Cyberbullying (perpetration and victimization) is a prevalent public health problem associated with a wide variety of psychopathological symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, delinquent behaviors, and substance use). However, the generality and specificity of relations between cyberbullying involvement and psychopathological symptoms have not been investigated. Thus, the current study used a latent dimensional approach to examine how cyberbullying (perpetration and victimization) is associated with underlying dimensions of psychopathology as well as with specific symptoms. General and specific associations were estimated by a series of structural equation models with data from 654 Chinese adolescents (52.4% girls, Mage = 12.96 years, SD = 0.67) in a three-wave study. Results indicated that cyberbullying (perpetration and victimization) was significantly and positively associated with latent internalizing and externalizing dimensions. Cyberbullying involvement was non-significantly associated with most specific symptom domains after accounting for the impact of the latent internalizing and externalizing factors. In a few cases, cyberbullying involvement was directly and uniquely associated with specific symptoms. Findings of significant general and symptom-specific associations have important implications for efforts to develop more efficient and targeted strategies for preventing and treating mental health problems associated with cyberbullying.
摘要：
网络欺凌（渗透和受害）是与各种心理病理症状相关的普遍公共卫生问题（例如，抑郁症,焦虑,违法行为，和物质使用)。然而,网络欺凌参与与精神病理症状之间关系的普遍性和特异性尚未得到研究。因此，当前的研究使用了一种潜在的维度方法来检查网络欺凌（渗透和受害）如何与精神病理学的潜在维度以及特定症状相关联。通过一系列结构方程模型，使用来自654名中国青少年（52.4％的女孩，法师=12.96岁，SD=0.67）在三波研究中。结果表明，网络欺凌（渗透和受害）与潜在的内在化和外在化维度显着正相关。在考虑了潜在的内在化和外在化因素的影响之后，网络欺凌参与与大多数特定症状领域没有显着相关。在少数情况下,网络欺凌参与与特定症状直接且独特地相关.重要的一般和症状特异性关联的发现对于努力制定更有效和有针对性的策略来预防和治疗与网络欺凌相关的心理健康问题具有重要意义。
