Abstract

Background: Cyber victimization has emerged as a significant issue among adolescents, particularly gifted youths. This study examines the serial mediating roles of self-esteem and social support in the relationship between cyber victimization and subjective well-being.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was utilized. Participants included 250 gifted Turkish adolescents who completed measures of cyber victimization, self-esteem, social support, and subjective well-being. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed relationships.

Results: Findings revealed significant indirect effects of cyber victimization on subjective well-being through self-esteem and social support. Higher levels of self-esteem predicted greater perceived social support, which subsequently contributed to improved subjective well-being.

Conclusions: Self-esteem and social support are critical protective factors mitigating the negative effects of cyber victimization on the subjective well-being of gifted youth. The study underscores the importance of interventions targeting these factors to enhance the well-being of cyberbullying victims.

网络受害与主观幸福感：自尊和社会支持对土耳其天才少年的保护作用。

背景：网络受害已经成为青少年，尤其是有天赋的青少年中的一个重要问题。本研究探讨自尊和社会支持在网络受害与主观幸福感关系中的串行中介作用。方法：采用横断面研究设计。参与者包括250名有天赋的土耳其青少年，他们完成了网络受害、自尊、社会支持和主观幸福感的测量。使用结构方程模型（SEM）对所提出的关系进行检验。结果：网络受害通过自尊和社会支持对主观幸福感有显著的间接影响。较高的自尊水平预示着更多的感知社会支持，这随后有助于提高主观幸福感。结论：自尊和社会支持是缓解网络受害对资优青少年主观幸福感负面影响的重要保护因素。该研究强调了针对这些因素进行干预的重要性，以提高网络欺凌受害者的福祉。
