Cyber-aggression is a serious social problem worldwide. Its risks have been frequently explored, and violence exposure in daily life has been regarded as an important risk factor of cyber-aggression. However, the longitudinal association between violence exposure in daily life and cyber-aggression has not yet been examined, and the mechanisms underlying the link between violence exposure and cyber-aggression remain largely unclear. Based on the General Aggression Model and Script Theory, we explored the circular relation between violence exposure in daily life, hostile automatic thoughts, and cyber-aggression. The current study adopted a longitudinal design to address these issues among 941 college students. The results indicated violence exposure in daily life predicted hostile automatic thoughts and cyber-aggression 6 months later; hostile automatic thoughts predicted violence exposure and cyber-aggression 6 months later; and cyber-aggression predicted hostile automatic thoughts and violence exposure 6 months later. Moreover, each of them plays a mediating role in the association between the other two variables. These results support and expand the General Aggression Model and Script Theory that violence exposure, aggressive cognition, and aggression facilitate each other. This also provides theoretical guidance on reducing cyber-aggression in daily life.
网络欺凌是一个全球性的严重社会问题。其风险已被频繁探讨，日常生活中的暴力暴露被认为是网络欺凌的一个重要风险因素。然而，日常生活中的暴力暴露与网络欺凌之间的纵向关联尚未被检验，暴力暴露与网络欺凌之间的联系的机制仍很大程度上不清楚。基于一般侵犯模型和脚本理论，我们探讨了日常生活中的暴力暴露、敌意自动思维与网络欺凌之间的循环关系。本研究采用纵向设计，在 941 名大学生中解决了这些问题。结果表明，日常生活中的暴力暴露预测了 6 个月后的敌意自动思维和网络欺凌；敌意自动思维预测了 6 个月后的暴力暴露和网络欺凌；而网络欺凌预测了 6 个月后的敌意自动思维和暴力暴露。此外，它们中的每一个都在两个变量之间的关联中发挥着中介作用。这些结果支持和扩展了一般侵犯模型和脚本理论，即暴力暴露、攻击认知和攻击行为相互促进。这也为减少日常生活中的网络欺凌提供了理论指导。
