Abstract
Cyberbullying perpetration is an intentionally and repeatedly online aggression against a person who cannot easily defend. The present study aimed to investigate the longitudinal relations between traditional victimization and adolescent cyberbullying perpetration as well as the mediating role of revenge motivation and moderating role of school connection. A sample of 1792 middle school students took part in current 4-wave longitudinal survey across 10 months. Participants completed self-report scales on traditional victimization, cyberbullying perpetration, revenge motivation, and school connection. Structural equation models were used to test the longitudinal mediation and moderation effects. Results revealed that traditional victimization increases adolescent cyberbullying perpetration and revenge motivation played a mediator role in the relations. School connection moderated the indirect effects. Among students in high school connection campus, compared with students in low school connection campus, traditional victimization increased cyberbullying perpetration through revenge motivation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
