Previous research has established a connection between parental control and bullying. However, the nuanced relationships involving different combinations of psychological control (PPC) and behavioral control (PBC), along with traditional and cyberbullying, remain ambiguous. Thus, this study investigated the associations of specific parental control dimensions and profiles with traditional and cyberbullying, focusing on the potential mediating mechanism of moral disengagement. A sample of 831 students (48.4% were female; M= 18.98 years; SD = 1.08) was analyzed. Through latent profile analysis, three control profiles emerged: low PPC and PBC (40.31%), low PPC and high PBC (29.00%), and high PPC and PBC (30.69%). The findings indicated a positive correlation between PPC and traditional/cyberbullying. Moral disengagement mediated the relationship between PPC/PBC and traditional/cyberbullying. Particularly, high PPC and PBC were linked to cyberbullying. Moral disengagement mediated the relationship between high PPC and PBC and traditional/cyberbullying. These insights provide valuable empirical data for developing bullying interventions that consider parental control and moral disengagement.
先前的研究已经证实了父母控制与欺凌之间存在关联。然而，涉及不同心理控制（PPC）和行为控制（PBC）组合的细微关系，以及传统欺凌和网络欺凌，仍然存在模糊性。因此，本研究调查了特定父母控制维度和模式与传统欺凌和网络欺凌之间的关联，重点关注道德脱离的潜在中介机制。对 831 名学生（48.4%为女性；M=18.98 岁；SD=1.08）进行了分析。通过潜在剖面分析，出现了三种控制模式：低 PPC 和 PBC（40.31%）、低 PPC 和高 PBC（29.00%）以及高 PPC 和 PBC（30.69%）。研究结果表明，PPC 与传统/网络欺凌呈正相关。道德脱离中介了 PPC/PBC 与传统/网络欺凌之间的关系。特别是，高 PPC 和 PBC 与网络欺凌有关。道德脱离中介了高 PPC 和 PBC 与传统/网络欺凌之间的关系。这些发现为制定考虑父母控制和道德脱离的欺凌干预措施提供了有价值的经验数据。
