Few studies have documented the relationship between stressful life events and cyberbullying perpetration, and the mechanisms connecting this link are unknown. Thus, the current study tested the association of stressful life events with cyberbullying perpetration and explored this influencing mechanism further with fatalism and self-compassion tested as a mediator and a moderator respectively. A sample of 1104 Chinese adolescents (50.72% males; mean age = 13.11) volunteered for this study. The results revealed that exposure to stressful life events was positively related to cyberbullying perpetration, and fatalism played a mediation role in this relationship. The moderated mediation model revealed that stronger self-compassion weakened and even interrupted the direct associations of stressful life events with fatalism and cyberbullying perpetration, and further weakened and even interrupted the indirect relationship between stressful life events and cyberbullying perpetration via fatalism. That is, adolescents low in self-compassion were more likely to build fatalistic beliefs and engage in cyberbullying perpetration when they experienced high levels of stressful life events; whereas, stressful life events were not related to increased risk of cyberbullying perpetration among adolescents high in self-compassion.
很少有研究记录生活压力事件与网络欺凌行为之间的关系，而且连接这一联系的机制尚不清楚。因此，本研究测试了生活压力事件与网络欺凌行为之间的关联，并进一步探讨了宿命论和自我同情作为中介和调节因素的影响机制。本研究共有 1104 名中国青少年（50.72%为男性；平均年龄 13.11 岁）参与了这项研究。结果表明，生活压力事件的暴露与网络欺凌行为呈正相关，宿命论在这种关系中起中介作用。调节中介模型显示，较强的自我同情削弱甚至中断了生活压力事件与宿命论和网络欺凌行为之间的直接关联，并通过宿命论进一步削弱甚至中断了生活压力事件与网络欺凌行为之间的间接关联。也就是说，当经历高生活压力事件时，自我同情程度较低的青少年更有可能产生宿命论信念并参与网络欺凌行为；而自我同情程度较高的青少年经历高生活压力事件时，并不容易增加网络欺凌行为的风险。
