Little is known about how cyberbullying victimization may influence adolescent nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and what conditions may buffer the detrimental effects of cyberbullying victimization. By integrating multiple theories, this study investigated emotion reactivity as an underlying mediator and mindfulness as a potential moderator to explain the link between cyberbullying victimization and NSSI among Chinese adolescents.
A total of 2,523 participants with an age range of 11 to 16 years old (Mage = 13.22, SD = 1.60, 48.4% girls) completed assessments.
After controlling SES, age, gender, traditional bullying victimization, and child maltreatment, latent moderated structural equation modeling revealed that emotion reactivity mediated the association between cyberbullying victimization and NSSI. In addition, dispositional mindfulness was found to buffer the relation between cyberbullying victimization and NSSI, but not the relation between cyberbullying victimization and emotion reactivity.
This study was cross-sectional in nature and relied exclusively upon self-report measures.
The findings provide researchers and practitioners with a deeper understanding of the relation between cyberbullying victimization and NSSI among adolescents and its underlying mechanism. Suggested intervention and prevention strategies include helping youth reduce emotion reactivity to break the cyberbullying victimization to NSSI cycle and to enhance youths' mindfulness to buffer against the ill effects of cyberbullying victimization.
对于网络欺凌受害如何影响青少年非自杀性自伤（NSSI），以及哪些条件可以缓冲网络欺凌受害的不良影响，人们知之甚少。本研究通过整合多种理论，探讨了情绪反应作为中介，以及正念作为潜在调节因素，以解释中国青少年网络欺凌受害与 NSSI 之间的关系。
共有 2523 名年龄在 11 至 16 岁之间的参与者（Mage=13.22，SD=1.60，48.4%为女生）完成了评估。
在控制 SES、年龄、性别、传统欺凌受害和儿童虐待后，潜在调节结构方程模型显示，情绪反应介导了网络欺凌受害与 NSSI 之间的关联。此外，发现性格正念缓冲了网络欺凌受害与 NSSI 之间的关系，但没有缓冲网络欺凌受害与情绪反应之间的关系。
本研究为横断面研究，仅依赖于自我报告的测量。
研究结果为研究人员和实践者提供了对青少年网络欺凌受害与 NSSI 之间关系及其潜在机制的更深入了解。建议的干预和预防策略包括帮助青少年减少对情绪反应的反应，以打破网络欺凌受害与 NSSI 的循环，并增强青少年的正念，以缓冲网络欺凌受害的不良影响。
