This study explores the relationships among cyberbullying, emotion management, and well-being, with a focus on economically disadvantaged students. Employing a reflective factor model, we disentangle emotion management into four dimensions and explore how cyberbullying impacts these facets, influencing academic success and well-being. We also investigate the moderating role of sport spectatorship. Using survey data collected from 846 economically disadvantaged students in grades 7 to 12, within a racially diverse Texas school district (USA), we employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine relationships among the measured variables. The students were in grades 7 to 12, categorizing participants into spectatorship-adherent and non-spectatorship groups based on their sports-watching habits. Our findings emphasize the importance of addressing cyberbullying's impact on emotion management and underline the potential for sport spectatorship to mitigate these effects. Our findings reveal that cyberbullying victimization significantly impairs adolescents' emotion management (β = -0.33, < 0.01), contributing to increased school absences (β = 0.41, < 0.001) and offenses (β = 0.19, = 0.02). Notably, sports spectatorship appears to buffer these negative outcomes for economically disadvantaged youth, enhancing overall well-being (β = 0.29, < 0.01). This study ventures into the unexplored territory of sport viewership as a cost-effective intervention strategy, offering valuable implications in supporting adolescent well-being.
本研究探讨网络欺凌、情绪管理与幸福感之间的关系，重点关注经济弱势学生。采用反思性因素模型，我们将情绪管理分解为四个维度，并探讨网络欺凌如何影响这些方面，进而影响学业成就和幸福感。我们还研究了体育观众行为的调节作用。利用从美国得克萨斯州一个种族多元化的学区846名7至12年级经济弱势学生收集的调查数据，我们采用结构方程模型（SEM）来检验测量变量之间的关系。这些学生处于7至12年级，根据他们的体育观看习惯将参与者分为体育观众行为依从组和非体育观众行为组。我们的研究结果强调了解决网络欺凌对情绪管理影响的重要性，并强调了体育观众行为减轻这些影响的潜力。我们的研究结果表明，网络欺凌受害显著损害青少年的情绪管理（β = -0.33， < 0.01），导致旷课增加（β = 0.41， < 0.001）和违规行为增加（β = 0.19， = 0.02）。值得注意的是，体育观众行为似乎可以缓冲经济弱势青少年的这些负面结果，提高整体幸福感（β = 0.29， < 0.01）。本研究涉足体育观众行为这一未被探索的领域，将其作为一种具有成本效益的干预策略，为支持青少年幸福感提供了有价值的启示。
