Cybervictimization is a risk factor for nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). However, there is a lack of evidence on how and under what conditions cybervictimization may influence NSSI. The present study investigated the mediating effect of self-esteem and the moderating effect of peer attachment on the relationship between cybervictimization and NSSI among Chinese adolescents.
Using three-wave longitudinal data for one year, a total of 1368 Chinese adolescents (60 % boys; M at Wave 1 = 15.05 years, SD = 0.85) completed the measurement using a self-report method.
The longitudinal moderated mediation model revealed that cybervictimization is associated with NSSI via restraining the protective effect of self-esteem. Moreover, high peer attachment could buffer the negative effects of cybervictimization, and protect their self-esteem from being hurt, consequently reducing the likelihood of NSSI.
All variables in this study were self-reported, and the results should be cautiously generalized to other cultures, according to a sample of Chinese adolescents.
Results highlight the relation between cybervictimization and NSSI. Recommended intervention and prevention strategies include enhancing the self-esteem of adolescents, breaking the cycle of cybervictimization to NSSI, and providing adolescents with more opportunities to build positive friendships with their peers to buffer the negative effects of cybervictimization.
网络欺凌是非自杀性自伤（NSSI）的一个风险因素。然而，关于网络欺凌如何以及在何种条件下可能影响非自杀性自伤，目前缺乏证据。本研究调查了自尊的中介作用以及同伴依恋对中国青少年网络欺凌与非自杀性自伤之间关系的调节作用。
利用为期一年的三波纵向数据，共有1368名中国青少年（60%为男孩；第一波时的平均年龄M = 15.05岁，标准差SD = 0.85）采用自我报告法完成测量。
纵向调节中介模型显示，网络欺凌通过抑制自尊的保护作用与非自杀性自伤相关。此外，高同伴依恋可以缓冲网络欺凌的负面影响，保护他们的自尊免受伤害，从而降低非自杀性自伤的可能性。
本研究中的所有变量均为自我报告，根据中国青少年样本，研究结果应谨慎推广到其他文化。
研究结果突出了网络欺凌与非自杀性自伤之间的关系。推荐的干预和预防策略包括提高青少年的自尊，打破从网络欺凌到非自杀性自伤的循环，以及为青少年提供更多机会与同龄人建立积极的友谊，以缓冲网络欺凌的负面影响。
