Cybervictimization and cyberbullying are serious public health issues. Parental monitoring serves as a protective factor, reducing adolescents' risk of cybervictimization and cyberbullying. However, no study has systematically explored the interplay between parental monitoring, cybervictimization and cyberbullying at within-person processes, the mediating mechanisms between them, and the moderator of sex among Chinese adolescents. This study followed 2407 Chinese adolescents (50.23% girl, M = 12.75, SD = 0.58 at baseline) from seven schools over three time points across one year. Random intercept cross-lagged models were employed to investigate the dynamic links among parental monitoring, deviant peer affiliation, cybervictimization and cyberbullying. Results indicated significant associations among these variables at the between-person level. At the within-person level, parental monitoring, deviant peer affiliation, and cybervictimization were reciprocally predictable. Parental monitoring and deviant peer affiliation predicted cyberbullying, but cyberbullying did not predict parental monitoring or deviant peer affiliation. Additionally, parental monitoring indirectly predicted cybervictimization but not cyberbullying through deviant peer affiliation. Sex differences were observed in the longitudinal associations. The present study provides valuable insights into the relations among parental monitoring, deviant peer affiliation, cybervictimization and cyberbullying from a developmental perspective, offering a new scientific basis for interventions targeting adolescents' involvement in cyberbullying.
网络受害和网络欺凌是严重的公共卫生问题。父母监督作为一种保护因素，可降低青少年遭受网络受害和网络欺凌的风险。然而，尚无研究系统地探讨中国青少年在个体内部过程中父母监督、网络受害和网络欺凌之间的相互作用、它们之间的中介机制以及性别调节作用。本研究对来自七所学校的2407名中国青少年（基线时女孩占50.23%，M = 12.75，SD = 0.58）进行了为期一年的三个时间点的跟踪调查。采用随机截距交叉滞后模型来研究父母监督、不良同伴交往、网络受害和网络欺凌之间的动态联系。结果表明，在个体间水平上，这些变量之间存在显著关联。在个体内部水平上，父母监督、不良同伴交往和网络受害是相互可预测的。父母监督和不良同伴交往可预测网络欺凌，但网络欺凌不能预测父母监督或不良同伴交往。此外，父母监督通过不良同伴交往间接预测网络受害，但不能预测网络欺凌。在纵向关联中观察到了性别差异。本研究从发展的角度为父母监督、不良同伴交往、网络受害和网络欺凌之间的关系提供了有价值的见解，为针对青少年参与网络欺凌的干预措施提供了新的科学依据。
