Abstract

Objective: Cyber-victimization has been increasingly linked to suicidal ideation, yet the underlying psychological mechanisms remain underexplored among college students. This study examined the relationship between cyber-victimization and suicidal ideation among Chinese college students, with a focus on the mediating roles of emotion dysregulation and non-suicidal self-injury.

Method: A total of 2001 students aged 18-24 completed questionnaires. Common method bias tests, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analyses, and chain mediation analysis (using the PROCESS Model 6) were conducted.

Results: Suicidal ideation was affected by cyber-victimization through 3 different pathways: the mediating role of emotion dysregulation, the mediating role of non-suicidal self-injury, and the chain mediating role of both emotion dysregulation and non-suicidal self-injury.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that emotion dysregulation and non-suicidal self-injury sequentially mediate the relationship between cyber-victimization and suicidal ideation among college students, underscoring the need for early interventions to strengthen emotion regulation and reduce non-suicidal self-injury.

情绪失调和非自杀性自我伤害在大学生网络受害与自杀意念关系中的链式中介作用。

目的：网络受害与大学生自杀意念的关系日益密切，但其潜在的心理机制仍未得到充分探讨。本研究考察了网络受害与大学生自杀意念的关系，并重点探讨了情绪失调和非自杀性自伤的中介作用。方法：对2001名18-24岁的大学生进行问卷调查。进行了常用方法偏倚检验、描述性统计、Pearson相关分析和链中介分析（使用PROCESS Model 6）。结果：网络伤害通过情绪失调的中介作用、非自杀性自我伤害的中介作用以及情绪失调和非自杀性自我伤害的连锁中介作用影响自杀意念。结论：本研究表明情绪失调和非自杀性自伤在大学生网络受害与自杀意念的关系中依次起中介作用，提示需要通过早期干预加强情绪调节，减少非自杀性自伤。
