Abstract

Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a pressing public health concern on college campuses, with increasing evidence highlighting cybervictimization as a critical predictor of NSSI behaviors. However, the underlying mechanisms through which cybervictimization linking to NSSI behaviors remain under elucidation and warrant further investigation.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between cybervictimization and NSSI behaviors among college students, with a specific focus on the mediating role of rumination and the moderating role of resilience in this relationship.

Method: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 1,439 college students from public universities in Hunan Province, China. Data were collected via an online questionnaire assessing cybervictimization, NSSI behaviors, rumination, and resilience. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation analysis were first conducted, and structural equation modeling (SEM) and moderated mediation analysis were then applied to test the proposed relationships.

Result: The study sample comprised 1439 college students with a mean age of 18.44 ± 0.84 years. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed significant positive associations between NSSI behaviors and both cybervictimization (r = 0.29, p < 0.01) and rumination (r = 0.17, p < 0.01), and a negative association with resilience (r = -0.25, p < 0.01). Moderated mediation analysis indicated that rumination mediated while resilience moderated the positive correlation between cybervictimization and NSSI behaviors (all p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The study highlights the critical role of rumination as a mediator and resilience as a moderator in the relationship between cybervictimization and NSSI behaviors. These findings provide crucial insights for developing and implementing interventions to prevent and reduce NSSI behaviors among college students, underscoring the importance of addressing both cognitive processes and personal resources to effectively mitigate and eliminate NSSI risks among college students with cybervictimization experiences.

大学生网络伤害与非自杀性自伤的横断面研究：反刍与心理弹性的调节中介模型。

背景：非自杀性自伤（NSSI）是大学校园中一个紧迫的公共卫生问题，越来越多的证据强调网络受害是自伤行为的重要预测因素。然而，网络受害与自伤行为之间的潜在机制仍有待阐明，需要进一步研究。目的：探讨大学生网络受害与自伤行为之间的关系，重点研究反刍在网络受害与自伤行为之间的中介作用和心理弹性的调节作用。方法：采用观察性横断面研究方法，选取湖南省公立大学在校大学生1439人作为方便样本。数据通过在线问卷收集，评估网络受害、自伤行为、反刍和恢复力。首先进行描述性统计和Pearson相关分析，然后使用结构方程模型（SEM）和有调节的中介分析来检验所提出的关系。结果：共纳入大学生1439人，平均年龄18.44±0.84岁。Pearson相关分析显示，自伤行为与网络伤害之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.29, p r = 0.17, p r = -0.25, p p）。结论：本研究强调了反刍在网络伤害与自伤行为之间的中介作用和心理弹性在网络伤害与自伤行为之间的调节作用。这些发现为制定和实施预防和减少大学生自伤行为的干预措施提供了重要见解，强调了解决认知过程和个人资源的重要性，以有效减轻和消除有网络受害经历的大学生的自伤风险。
