This study examines if parental neglect is significantly associated with adolescent cyberbullying perpetration, and whether this relationship is mediated by smartphone addiction. In addition, the moderation of self-regulation in the direct and indirect effects of parental neglect on cyberbullying perpetration among adolescents is determined. A random sample of 728 Chinese adolescents from Grade 10 to 12 in senior high schools respond to anonymous questionnaires regarding parental neglect, smartphone addiction, self-regulation and cyberbullying perpetration. The data are then analysed using macro PROCESS. Results reveal that adolescents who are neglected by parents are more likely to engage in cyberbullying perpetration. Smartphone addiction significantly partially mediates the above relationship. Moreover, self-regulation not only moderates the relationship of cyberbullying perpetration with parental neglect but also its association with smartphone addiction among adolescents. This study contributes to a better understanding of how parental neglect increases the risk of adolescent cyberbullying perpetration, which may be reduced through tailored interventions.
本研究探讨了父母忽视是否与青少年网络欺凌行为显著相关，以及这种关系是否被智能手机成瘾所中介。此外，还确定了自我调节在父母忽视对青少年网络欺凌行为的直接和间接影响中的调节作用。随机抽取了 728 名来自高中 10 至 12 年级的中国青少年，对他们进行了关于父母忽视、智能手机成瘾、自我调节和网络欺凌行为的匿名问卷调查。然后使用宏 PROCESS 对数据进行分析。结果表明，被父母忽视的青少年更有可能参与网络欺凌行为。智能手机成瘾显著部分中介了上述关系。此外，自我调节不仅调节了网络欺凌行为与父母忽视之间的关系，也调节了青少年与智能手机成瘾之间的关系。本研究有助于更好地理解父母忽视如何增加青少年网络欺凌行为的风险，通过有针对性的干预措施可能会降低这种风险。
