Online trolling is aggressive online behavior that has severe consequences for the mental health of internet users. Online trolling can be influenced by personal factors and psychological states. Based on the General Aggression Model, moral disengagement was examined as a moderator of the direct and indirect relations between mindfulness and online trolling via social media fatigue. A total of 1123 college students completed questionnaires regarding their experience with online trolling, mindfulness, social media fatigue, and moral disengagement. The results showed that individuals with high mindfulness were less likely to troll others online, which was mediated by their social media fatigue. Furthermore, moral disengagement moderated the indirect relationship between mindfulness and online trolling. Specifically, the relationship between mindfulness and social media fatigue became weaker for individuals with high moral disengagement. The relationship between social media fatigue and online trolling became strengthened for individuals with high moral disengagement. These findings elucidate the role of personal factors and the present internal state in online trolling and suggest that comprehensive intervention programs may be promising for reducing online trolling.
网络喷子行为是一种攻击性的网络行为，会对互联网用户的心理健康造成严重影响。网络喷子行为可能受到个人因素和心理状态的影响。基于一般侵犯模型，本研究通过社交媒体疲劳检验了道德脱离作为正念与通过社交媒体进行网络喷子行为之间直接和间接关系的调节作用。共有 1123 名大学生完成了关于网络喷子行为、正念、社交媒体疲劳和道德脱离体验的问卷。结果表明，正念水平高的个体不太可能在网上对他人进行喷子行为，这是通过他们的社交媒体疲劳来介导的。此外，道德脱离调节了正念与通过社交媒体进行网络喷子行为之间的间接关系。具体来说，对于道德脱离水平较高的个体，正念与社交媒体疲劳之间的关系减弱。对于道德脱离水平较高的个体，社交媒体疲劳与通过社交媒体进行网络喷子行为之间的关系增强。这些发现阐明了个人因素和当前内部状态在网络喷子行为中的作用，并表明综合干预计划可能是减少网络喷子行为的有前途的方法。
