Abstract

Following the general aggression model, this study investigated the potential explanatory mechanisms of social media fatigue and online moral disengagement between parental phubbing and cyberbullying perpetration and victimization in Chinese adolescents, using a two-wave longitudinal design with a 6-month interval. The sample consisted of 765 adolescents, aged 14–18 years (M = 15.59, SD = 0.67), who completed self-report questionnaires assessing parental phubbing, social media fatigue, online moral disengagement, and cyberbullying perpetration and victimization. Structural equation modeling showed that, at Time 1 (T1), parental phubbing predicted cyberbullying perpetration and victimization through online moral disengagement. At Time 2 (T2), parental phubbing predicted cyberbullying perpetration through social media fatigue. Additionally, parental phubbing at T1 predicted cyberbullying victimization at T2 through online moral disengagement at T2. These findings underscore the importance of parental behavior and the influence of affective and cognitive factors within social media environments in reducing adolescent cyberbullying.

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.
