Abstract

Background: Excessive use of cell phones in adolescents is associated with injuries and behavioral deviations. Cyberbullying is one of these behavioral deviations which involves deliberate and repeated aggression. Family and parenting factors are considered to have an essential role in cyberbullying. Among these factors, the cohesion and flexibility of the family have garnered considerable attention. Objectives: The present study examined the relationship between family adaptability, cohesion, and cyberbullying and the mediating role of parenting styles in this relationship. Methods: Cross-sectional design and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used in this study. The statistical population included students using mobile phones in Tehran. A sample of 220 students was selected via convenience sampling. The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales, Cyber-Bullying/Victimization Experiences Scale, and the Parental Authority Scale were used to collect data. Statistical data analysis was done using the Pearson correlation test and structural equation path analysis in SPSS 26 and AMOS 26. Results: The results showed that There was a significant correlation between family cohesion and cyberbullying (r =- 0.246) (P < 0.01), family adaptability and cyberbullying (r = -0.167) (P < 0.01), family adaptability and cohesion and parenting styles (r = 0.433) (P < 0.01), authoritarian, indulgent, authoritative parenting style and cyberbullying (r = 0.246) (r = 0.139) (r = -0.104) (P < 0.01). These direct and indirect effects were created through the mediation of parenting styles. Conclusions: Generally, the results showed that family adaptability and cohesion significantly negatively correlate with cyberbullying. The model showed family adaptability and cohesion, and cyberbullying did not have a direct relationship. However, perceived parenting styles can play a mediating role in this relationship.

父母教养方式在家庭适应性、凝聚力与青少年网络欺凌关系中的中介作用

背景:青少年过度使用手机与伤害和行为偏差有关。网络欺凌是其中一种行为偏差，涉及蓄意和反复的攻击。家庭和父母因素被认为在网络欺凌中起着至关重要的作用。在这些因素中，家庭的凝聚力和灵活性引起了相当大的注意。目的:本研究探讨了家庭适应性、凝聚力与网络欺凌的关系，以及父母教养方式在这一关系中的中介作用。方法:采用截面设计和结构方程模型(SEM)进行研究。统计人口包括在德黑兰使用手机的学生。采用方便抽样的方法，选取220名学生作为样本。采用家庭适应与凝聚力评估量表、网络欺凌/受害经历量表和父母权威量表收集数据。统计数据分析采用SPSS 26和AMOS 26中的Pearson相关检验和结构方程路径分析。结果:家庭凝聚力与网络欺凌(r =- 0.246) (P < 0.01)、家庭适应性与网络欺凌(r =- 0.167) (P < 0.01)、家庭适应性与凝聚力与父母教养方式(r = 0.433) (P < 0.01)、权威型、放纵型、权威型父母教养方式与网络欺凌(r = 0.246) (r = 0.139) (r =- 0.104) (P < 0.01)存在显著相关。这些直接和间接的影响是通过父母教养方式的中介产生的。结论:总体而言，家庭适应性和凝聚力与网络欺凌呈显著负相关。该模型显示家庭适应性和凝聚力，与网络欺凌没有直接关系。然而，感知到的父母教养方式可以在这种关系中发挥中介作用。
