As a major public health problem, cyberbullying has been received widespread attention in recent years. However, most researches on cyberbullying are mainly focused on adolescents and college students, the underlying mechanisms of cyberbullying among graduate students have been relatively less investigated. From the perspectives of the general aggression model and attachment theory, this study aims to explore the relationship between childhood psychological abuse and cyberbullying behavior among graduate students, as well as the mediating roles of negative coping style and trait anxiety.
A total of 482 graduate students were surveyed using measures including the Childhood Psychological Abuse Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and Cyberbullying Behavior Scale.
(1) There were significant positive correlations between childhood psychological abuse, negative coping style, trait anxiety, and graduate students' cyberbullying behavior; (2) Childhood psychological abuse could forecast graduate students' cyberbullying behavior through the mediating effects of negative coping style and trait anxiety. This mediation process includes two pathways: the independent mediating effect of negative coping style and the chained mediating effect of negative coping style and trait anxiety.
Negative coping style and trait anxiety play mediating roles in the relationship between childhood psychological abuse and cyberbullying behavior among graduate students.
网络欺凌作为一个主要的公共卫生问题，近年来受到了广泛关注。然而，大多数关于网络欺凌的研究主要集中在青少年和大学生身上，对研究生网络欺凌的潜在机制研究相对较少。本研究从一般攻击模型和依恋理论的角度出发，旨在探讨童年期心理虐待与研究生网络欺凌行为之间的关系，以及消极应对方式和特质焦虑的中介作用。
采用童年期心理虐待量表、简易应对方式问卷、自评焦虑量表和网络欺凌行为量表等对482名研究生进行调查。
（1）童年期心理虐待、消极应对方式、特质焦虑与研究生网络欺凌行为之间存在显著正相关；（2）童年期心理虐待可通过消极应对方式和特质焦虑的中介作用预测研究生的网络欺凌行为。这一中介过程包括两条路径：消极应对方式的独立中介作用以及消极应对方式和特质焦虑的链式中介作用。
消极应对方式和特质焦虑在童年期心理虐待与研究生网络欺凌行为之间的关系中起中介作用。
