Cyberbullying significantly affects adolescents, increasing the risk of negative emotional symptoms. This study explores how psychological flexibility and inflexibility may mediate this relationship, focusing on adolescent mental health in the context of cyberbullying.
A sample of 2,171 secondary school students, aged 11-18 years, was used to assess cyberbullying, emotional symptoms, and levels of psychological flexibility and inflexibility.
Cybervictimization showed a direct relationship with emotional symptoms and psychological inflexibility. Psychological flexibility was negatively associated with cybervictimization and positively associated with mental health, acting as a protective mediator against the association of cyberbullying.
Psychological flexibility emerges as a key factor in reducing the negative association of cybervictimization in adolescents. These findings highlight the importance of developing strategies to improve psychological flexibility in young people as a means to strengthen their resilience in the face of cyberbullying and its emotional consequences.
网络欺凌对青少年有显著影响,增加了出现负面情绪症状的风险。本研究探讨心理灵活性和僵化如何在这种关系中起中介作用,重点关注网络欺凌背景下的青少年心理健康。
以2171名年龄在11至18岁的中学生为样本,评估网络欺凌、情绪症状以及心理灵活性和僵化程度。
网络受害与情绪症状和心理僵化呈直接关系。心理灵活性与网络受害呈负相关,与心理健康呈正相关,是网络欺凌关联的保护性中介因素。
心理灵活性是减少青少年网络受害负面关联的关键因素。这些发现凸显了制定策略以提高年轻人心理灵活性的重要性,以此作为增强他们面对网络欺凌及其情绪后果时恢复力的一种手段。
