Although family factors are associated with cyberbullying, few studies have investigated the relationship between family incivility and cyberbullying perpetration. The current study aimed to examine the associations between family incivility and cyberbullying perpetration among college students, and further investigate the underlying moderated mediation mechanism. Study 1 was a cross-sectional survey among 640 Chinese undergraduate students ( = 20.29 years, = 1.38). Demographics, family incivility, cyberbullying perpetration, and negative affect were assessed. The results supported the idea that negative affect plays a role in mediating the relationship between family incivility and cyberbullying perpetration. Study 2 used a two-wave longitudinal design, aiming to examine both the mediating role of negative affect and the moderating role of dispositional mindfulness (represented through five facets-observing, describing, acting with awareness, nonjudging, and nonreacting-each of which were analyzed separately). The data were collected from 200 Chinese undergraduate and graduate students ( = 22.18, = 2.56). Negative affect was also found to play a mediation effect in this study. Furthermore, the results found that acting with awareness and nonjudging weakened the relationship between family incivility and negative affect, whereas observing exacerbated it. Moreover, nonjudging exacerbated the relationship between negative affect and cyberbullying perpetration. The present findings indicate that negative affect may play a role in explaining the association between family incivility and cyberbullying perpetration. Furthermore, acting with awareness and nonjudging could buffer the relationship between family incivility and cyberbullying perpetration via negative affect, which provides a new insight for the prevention of and intervention on cyberbullying perpetration.
尽管家庭因素与网络欺凌有关，但很少有研究调查家庭不文明与网络欺凌行为之间的关系。本研究旨在探讨大学生家庭不文明与网络欺凌行为之间的关系，并进一步探讨潜在的调节中介机制。研究 1 是对 640 名中国本科学生（年龄为 20.29 岁，标准差为 1.38）进行的横断面调查。评估了人口统计学特征、家庭不文明、网络欺凌行为和负性情绪。结果支持了这样一种观点，即负性情绪在家庭不文明与网络欺凌行为之间的关系中起中介作用。研究 2 使用了两波纵向设计，旨在检验负性情绪的中介作用和特质正念（通过五个方面来衡量——观察、描述、有意识地行动、不评判和不反应，每个方面分别进行分析）的调节作用。数据来自 200 名中国本科和研究生学生（年龄为 22.18 岁，标准差为 2.56 岁）。研究还发现，负性情绪在这一研究中也起中介作用。此外，结果发现，有意识地行动和不评判削弱了家庭不文明与负性情绪之间的关系，而观察则加剧了这种关系。此外，不评判加剧了负性情绪与网络欺凌行为之间的关系。本研究结果表明，负性情绪可能在解释家庭不文明与网络欺凌行为之间的关系中起作用。此外，有意识地行动和不评判可以通过负性情绪缓冲家庭不文明与网络欺凌行为之间的关系，这为预防和干预网络欺凌行为提供了新的视角。
