Drawing from , this study explored the interplay between personality traits (online disinhibition, moral disengagement, narcissism, and aggression) and cyberbullying perpetration motives (entertainment, revenge, harm, and dominance) through structural equation modeling. The participants were a convenience sample of 598 cyber bully-victims who were Turkish university students (229 females, 362 males, and seven unknown). The findings empirically supported for conceptualization of cyberbullying perpetration. Almost half of the participants (49.7%) cyberbullied someone twice or more during the preceding 6 months, and males cyberbullied others significantly more than females. In terms of the structural interrelationships, (a) online disinhibition was the only personality trait related to cyberbullying others for entertainment; (b) moral disengagement and aggression were the two variables associated with the revenge motive of cyberbullying perpetration; (c) although online disinhibition was negatively related to cyberbullying others for harm, moral disengagement and aggression were positively linked to harm; and (d) moral disengagement and narcissism were the two personality trait variables associated with the dominance motive of cyberbullying perpetration. Results imply that offers a new understanding about cyberbullying perpetration to researchers, theorists, and practitioners. Personality traits play an important role in cyberbullying perpetration motives and behaviors. Thus, personality traits should be considered in prevention and intervention efforts against cyberbullying. The earlier the personality characteristics of the young individuals are identified, the earlier they can be prevented from engaging in cyberbullying perpetration. Also, sports activities, social events, competitive contests, or leisure and recreational activities offered by university managements can help the university youth to keep away from cyberbullying perpetration and to satisfy motives in more appropriate ways.
本研究借鉴 ，通过结构方程模型探讨了人格特质（线上去抑制、道德脱离、自恋和攻击性）与网络欺凌行为动机（娱乐、报复、伤害和支配）之间的相互作用。参与者是土耳其大学生的方便样本，共 598 名网络欺凌受害者（229 名女性、362 名男性和 7 名未知性别）。研究结果从实证上支持了对网络欺凌行为的概念化。几乎一半的参与者（49.7%）在过去 6 个月内两次或更多次欺凌他人，男性比女性更频繁地欺凌他人。在结构的相互关系方面，（a）线上去抑制是与娱乐相关的唯一人格特质；（b）道德脱离和攻击性是与报复相关的网络欺凌行为的两个变量；（c）尽管线上去抑制与为伤害而欺凌他人呈负相关，但道德脱离和攻击性与伤害呈正相关；（d）道德脱离和自恋是与网络欺凌支配行为相关的两个人格特质变量。研究结果表明， 为研究人员、理论家和实践者提供了对网络欺凌行为的新理解。人格特质在网络欺凌行为动机和行为中起着重要作用。因此，在预防和干预网络欺凌行为时应考虑人格特质。年轻人的人格特征越早被识别，他们就越早可以防止参与网络欺凌行为。此外，大学管理层提供的体育活动、社交活动、竞赛活动、休闲娱乐活动可以帮助大学青年远离网络欺凌行为，并以更合适的方式满足动机。
