Abstract

Objective: The current literature and theorizing on cyberbehaviors (cyberbullying perpetration and cybervictimization) are largely separate-primarily focusing on one cyberbehavior in lieu of the other. Our objective was to conduct a cross-sectional study to test a new theory: the Integrative Cyberbullying Theory.

Method: Emerging adults (N = 767) completed measures of our predictors (time spent online, narcissism, anonymity, and cyberbullying attitudes), cyberbehaviors, and outcomes (depression, anxiety, loneliness, and anger).

Results: Results showed that (a) cyberbullying perpetration and cybervictimization were strongly positively correlated, (b) both cyberbehaviors significantly correlated with every predictor and outcome assessed, and (c) the cyberbehaviors mediated certain relationships between the predictors and outcomes.

网络创伤与他人创伤：基于综合网络欺凌理论的网络欺凌行为与受害的中介影响

目的：目前关于网络行为（网络欺凌犯罪和网络受害）的文献和理论在很大程度上是分开的——主要关注一种网络行为，而不是另一种。我们的目标是进行一项横断面研究，以检验一种新的理论：综合网络欺凌理论。方法：初生成人（N = 767）完成了我们的预测指标（上网时间、自恋、匿名和网络欺凌态度）、网络行为和结果（抑郁、焦虑、孤独和愤怒）的测量。结果：结果表明：(a)网络欺凌行为与网络欺凌行为呈显著正相关，(b)网络欺凌行为与各预测因子和结果均显著相关，(c)网络欺凌行为介导了预测因子和结果之间的一定关系。结论：我们支持综合网络欺凌理论的假设，然后从理论角度讨论这些结果。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
