Previous studies have verified the roles of big five personalities in cyberbullying perpetration (CP). The Big Five model has been revised to include an additional dimension, called Honesty-Humility (HH). It is not clear whether HH would be associated with CP. Thus, the effect of HH on CP was examined. To further explore this influencing mechanism, materialism was examined as a mediator, and parental psychological control (PPC) was examined as a moderator in the relationship between HH and CP. A total of 1,004 Chinese adolescents ( = 12.95, =1.12) participated in this study using a cross-sectional design and multiple questionnaires, namely, the Honesty-Humility subscale of the 24-item Brief HEXACO Inventory, the Revised Cyber Bullying Inventory, the Material Values Scale for Children, and the Parental Control Questionnaire. Correlation analyses indicated that CP, materialism, and PPC were significantly and positively correlated with each other, and were significantly and negatively associated with HH. The mediation model revealed that materialism played a mediating role in the relationship between HH and CP. The moderated mediation model revealed that stronger PPC strengthened the direct associations of HH with materialism and CP, and further strengthened the indirect relationship between HH and CP. Specifically, Chinese adolescents with lower levels of HH were more likely to build material values and further engaged in cyberbullying perpetration, when they perceived stronger PPC.
先前的研究已经验证了大五人格特质在网络欺凌行为（CP）中的作用。大五人格模型已经被修订，增加了一个称为“诚实-谦逊”（HH）的维度。然而，HH 是否与 CP 有关还不清楚。因此，本研究考察了 HH 对 CP 的影响。为了进一步探讨这种影响机制，本研究将物质主义作为中介，父母心理控制（PPC）作为 HH 与 CP 关系的调节变量进行检验。共有 1004 名中国青少年（ = 12.95， =1.12）采用横断设计和多个问卷参与了这项研究，这些问卷包括 24 项简明 HEXACO 问卷的诚实-谦逊分量表、修订后的网络欺凌量表、儿童物质价值观量表和父母控制问卷。相关分析表明，CP、物质主义和 PPC 之间存在显著的正相关，而与 HH 之间存在显著的负相关。中介模型显示，物质主义在 HH 与 CP 之间的关系中起中介作用。调节的中介模型表明，较强的 PPC 增强了 HH 与物质主义和 CP 的直接关系，进一步增强了 HH 与 CP 的间接关系。具体来说，当感知到更强的 PPC 时，HH 水平较低的中国青少年更有可能建立物质价值观，并进一步参与网络欺凌行为。
