As emerging adults are increasingly reliant on instant messaging applications for communication with romantic partners, cyber dating abuse perpetration (CDAP) and victimization (CDAV) have proliferated. This has aroused the high attention of researchers. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of the influence of peer phubbing on CDAP and CDAV in Chinese context.
566 Chinese college students (average age of 19.31 years, 47.7% females) were investigated with the generic scale of being phubbed, rejection sensitivity questionnaire, Chinese version of resilience scale and cyber dating abuse questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using a moderated mediation model with SPSS and the PROCESS.
The results revealed that: (1) peer phubbing had a significant positive predictive effect on CDAP (β = .32, p < .001) and CDAV (β = .43, p < .001) respectively. (2) Rejection sensitivity played a partial mediating role both between peer phubbing and CDAP (indirect effect = .12, 95% CI = [.05, .18], accounting for 37.5%) and CDAV (indirect effect = .09, 95% CI = [.05, .14], accounting for 20.9%. (3) The first half (β = - .27, p < .001) of the indirect effect of peer phubbing on CDAP and CDAV are weakened by psychological resilience, and the direct paths were also weakened by psychological resilience(β = - .13, p < .001;β = - .16, p < .001).
These findings highlight the importance of discerning the mechanisms moderating the mediated paths linking peer phubbing to CDAP and CDAV. The results also underline the importance of implementing measures and interventions to use the protective role of psychological resilience on college students' CDAP and CDAV.
随着年轻人越来越依赖即时通讯应用程序与恋人进行沟通，网络约会虐待行为（CDAP）和受害者（CDAV）日益泛滥。这引起了研究人员的高度关注。本研究旨在探讨中国语境下同伴冷落对 CDAP 和 CDAV 的影响机制。
采用一般被冷落量表、拒绝敏感性问卷、中文版韧性量表和网络约会虐待问卷对 566 名中国大学生（平均年龄 19.31 岁，47.7%为女性）进行调查。采用 SPSS 和 PROCESS 的调节中介模型对数据进行分析。
结果表明：（1）同伴冷落对 CDAP（β=0.32，p<0.001）和 CDAV（β=0.43，p<0.001）均有显著的正向预测作用。（2）拒绝敏感性在同伴冷落与 CDAP（间接效应=0.12，95%CI=[0.05，0.18]，占 37.5%）和 CDAV（间接效应=0.09，95%CI=[0.05，0.14]，占 20.9%）之间均起到部分中介作用。（3）同伴冷落对 CDAP 和 CDAV 的间接效应的前半部分（β=-0.27，p<0.001）被心理韧性削弱，直接路径也被心理韧性削弱（β=-0.13，p<0.001；β=-0.16，p<0.001）。
这些发现强调了甄别调节同伴冷落与 CDAP 和 CDAV 之间中介路径的机制的重要性。研究结果还强调了实施措施和干预措施的重要性，以利用心理韧性对大学生 CDAP 和 CDAV 的保护作用。
