Abstract

Although cyberbullying victimization significantly impacts cyberbullying behaviors, research on its longitudinal mechanisms and protective factors remains scarce. A total of 1465 Chinese adolescents (52.2% female) with an average age of 16.14 (SD = 0.40) participated in a three-wave longitudinal study with 3-month intervals. Cyberbullying victimization positively predicted cyberbullying perpetration 6 months later, and this effect was mediated by impairment in personality functioning. Mindfulness buffered the predictive effect of cyberbullying victimization on impairment in personality functioning and mitigated the negative impact of impairment in personality functioning on cyberbullying perpetration. Further findings revealed that the indirect effect of impairment in personality functioning was more pronounced when levels of mindfulness were low, and higher levels of mindfulness could disrupt the mediating pathway of impairment in personality functioning between cyberbullying victimization and perpetration. The findings highlighted the importance of promoting the positive development of adolescents' personality functioning and fostering mindfulness skills to reduce cyberbullying among adolescents.

青少年中的网络欺凌受害者和实施者：纵向调节中介模型。

尽管网络欺凌的受害情况会对网络欺凌行为产生重大影响，但有关其纵向机制和保护因素的研究仍然很少。共有 1465 名中国青少年（52.2% 为女性）参加了一项三波纵向研究，研究间隔为 3 个月，平均年龄为 16.14 岁（SD = 0.40）。网络欺凌受害情况会对6个月后的网络欺凌行为产生积极的预测作用，而人格功能受损则会对这一作用产生中介作用。正念缓冲了网络欺凌受害对人格功能损伤的预测效应，并减轻了人格功能损伤对网络欺凌实施的负面影响。进一步的研究结果表明，当正念水平较低时，人格功能受损的间接影响更为明显，而较高的正念水平则会破坏人格功能受损在网络欺凌受害与施暴之间的中介途径。研究结果强调了促进青少年人格功能的积极发展和培养正念技能对减少青少年网络欺凌的重要性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Youth and Adolescence provides a single, high-level medium of communication for psychologists, psychiatrists, biologists, criminologists, educators, and researchers in many other allied disciplines who address the subject of youth and adolescence. The journal publishes quantitative analyses, theoretical papers, and comprehensive review articles. The journal especially welcomes empirically rigorous papers that take policy implications seriously. Research need not have been designed to address policy needs, but manuscripts must address implications for the manner society formally (e.g., through laws, policies or regulations) or informally (e.g., through parents, peers, and social institutions) responds to the period of youth and adolescence.
