Previous literature suggests that gratitude and mindfulness-based intervention could effectively abate stressful life events, while the associations with cyberbullying perpetration have not been investigated. Little is known about the mechanisms of this association, especially for children who lack sufficient parental protection. The current study aimed to examine the roles of mindfulness and gratitude in the relationship between cyberbullying perpetration and depression among children and adolescents. This study employed data from a school-based survey conducted in 2018, in which 1298 students aged 9-16 years were randomly selected from three elementary and middle schools in China. The moderated mediation effects of gratitude and mindfulness on the relationship between cyberbullying perpetration and depression were examined through PROCESS model. Results showed that mindfulness mediated the relationship between cyberbullying perpetration and depression, while gratitude moderated and weakened the relationship. The findings may offer insights into the awareness and intervention programs regarding positive psychological mechanisms to reduce cyberbullying perpetration among children and adolescents in China.
先前的文献表明，感恩和正念干预可以有效减轻生活中的压力事件，而与网络欺凌行为的关联尚未得到研究。对于缺乏足够父母保护的儿童来说，人们对这种关联的机制知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨正念和感恩在网络欺凌行为与儿童和青少年抑郁之间关系中的作用。本研究采用了 2018 年一项基于学校的调查的数据，从中国三所小学和中学中随机抽取了 1298 名 9-16 岁的学生。通过 PROCESS 模型检验了感恩和正念对网络欺凌行为与抑郁之间关系的调节中介作用。结果表明，正念中介了网络欺凌行为与抑郁之间的关系，而感恩则调节并削弱了这种关系。这些发现可能为中国儿童和青少年减少网络欺凌行为的积极心理机制的意识和干预计划提供了启示。
