Traditional bullying perpetration explicates the importance of a power differential between the bully and the victim-predominantly physical and/or social status. The application of power from traditional to cyberbullying is unclear. The current research utilized a longitudinal study to examine the relationships between four different derivations of power-belief in the irrelevance of muscularity for online bullying (BIMOB), social capital, harmful computer skills, and popularity motivation-and cyberbullying attitudes and perpetration. Participants (185 US emerging adults) completed self-report assessments of the aforementioned power constructs, cyberbullying attitudes, and cyberbullying behavior twice-6 months apart. Results showed only Wave 1 BIMOB predicted cyberbullying attitudes to yield subsequent cyberbullying perpetration.
传统的欺凌行为解释了欺凌者和受害者之间权力差异的重要性——主要是身体和/或社会地位。权力从传统欺凌到网络欺凌的应用尚不清楚。本研究采用纵向研究来检验四种不同权力来源——相信肌肉力量与在线欺凌无关（BIMOB）、社会资本、有害计算机技能和受欢迎动机——与网络欺凌态度和行为之间的关系。参与者（185 名美国新兴成年人）两次——相隔 6 个月——完成了上述权力结构、网络欺凌态度和网络欺凌行为的自我报告评估。结果表明，只有第 1 波 BIMOB 预测了网络欺凌态度，从而导致随后的网络欺凌行为。
