Abstract:
Compared with traditional forms of bullying (e.g., physical bullying, verbal bullying), cyberbullying victimization can bring heavy psychological damage to the victim of bullying. Studies have found that cyberbullying victimization leads to higher levels of depression and causes anger and emotional problems. Nevertheless, existing studies mainly focus on traditional bullying while affording scant consideration to the longitudinal impact of cyberbullying on mental well-being. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cyberbullying victimization on middle school students\' loneliness while simultaneously investigating the mediating role of perceived social support and the moderating role of feelings of hope. A total of 583 middle school students were surveyed using four self-report questionnaires. Cyberbullying victimization predicts loneliness. Perceived social support mediates the role of cyberbullying victimization in influencing cyberbullying. Sense of hope moderated the direct pathway and the second half of the mediating role pathway. First, many mediating and moderating variables of cyberbullying victimization affect loneliness, and different mediating and moderating variables can be studied in the future. Second, future studies could expand this study\'s sample to validate the results of this study. Third, this study only collected data at two time points, and future studies could collect data at multiple time points. Cyberbullying victimization can increase loneliness over time. Perceived social support and a sense of hope can mitigate the effects of cyberbullying victimization on an individual\'s mental health.
摘要:
与传统形式的欺凌相比(例如,身体上的欺凌,言语欺凌),网络欺凌受害会给欺凌受害者带来严重的心理伤害。研究发现,网络欺凌受害导致更高水平的抑郁,并导致愤怒和情绪问题。然而,现有的研究主要集中在传统的欺凌,而很少考虑网络欺凌对心理健康的纵向影响。这项研究的目的是研究网络欺凌对中学生孤独感的影响,同时调查感知的社会支持的中介作用和希望感的调节作用。使用4份自我报告问卷对583名中学生进行了调查。网络欺凌受害预示着孤独。感知的社会支持在影响网络欺凌的过程中起到中介作用。希望感调节了直接途径和介导作用途径的后半部分。首先,网络欺凌受害的许多中介和调节变量会影响孤独感,未来可以研究不同的中介变量和调节变量。第二,未来的研究可以扩大本研究的样本,以验证本研究的结果。第三,这项研究只收集了两个时间点的数据,未来的研究可以在多个时间点收集数据。随着时间的推移,网络欺凌会增加孤独感。感知到的社会支持和希望感可以减轻网络欺凌对个人心理健康的影响。
