Cyberbullying has become an essential public health psychological issue affecting people's lives in the online ecology. However, previous studies have rarely examined adolescent paranoia, moral cognition, and cyberbullying in association. Therefore, this study was based on cognitive-behavioral theory to investigate the relationship between child-like paranoid tendencies, cyberbullying, and moral disengagement.
This study used the Paranoia Scale, Cyberbullying Scale, and Moral Disengagement Scale to conduct an anonymous online survey of 1519 adolescents in China.
(1) Paranoid tendencies, moral disengagement, and cyberbullying were all significantly and positively correlated. Boys showed higher rates of moral disengagement, while girls showed higher rates of paranoid tendencies. (2) The direct effect of paranoid tendency on cyberbullying was significant (β = 0.31, < 0.01). (3) There was a mediating effect of moral disengagement in the influence of paranoid tendencies on cyberbullying, with an effect proportion of 20.5%.
Adolescent cyberbullying should be regulated at the family and social levels to enhance juvenile mental health issues and help them establish proper moral standards.
网络欺凌已成为网络生态中影响人们生活的一个重要公共卫生心理问题。然而，以往的研究很少将青少年偏执、道德认知和网络欺凌联系起来进行考察。因此，本研究基于认知行为理论，探讨儿童般的偏执倾向、网络欺凌与道德脱离之间的关系。
本研究采用偏执量表、网络欺凌量表和道德脱离量表，对1519名中国青少年进行匿名在线调查。
（1）偏执倾向、道德脱离和网络欺凌均呈显著正相关。男孩的道德脱离率较高，而女孩的偏执倾向率较高。（2）偏执倾向对网络欺凌的直接效应显著（β = 0.31，<0.01）。（3）道德脱离在偏执倾向对网络欺凌的影响中起中介作用，效应比例为20.5%。
应在家庭和社会层面规范青少年网络欺凌行为，以改善青少年心理健康问题，帮助他们建立正确的道德标准。
