Traditional moral disengagement is observed in daily life. However, with the increase in time spent in virtual environments, the need to also investigate online moral disengagement (OMD) is evident. In this study, we aimed to adapt the OMD Scale (OMDS) to the Turkish population and examine the relationship among OMD, empathic tendency, and cyberbullying.
A total of 694 volunteering Turkish adolescents, 404 (58.2%) females and 290 (41.8%) males and with a mean age of 15.19 years (range: 14-17 years; standard deviation = 1.09), were included. Data were collected using the OMDS, Cyberbullying Scale, and Adolescent KA-Sİ Empathic Tendency Scale. The study was conducted in several stages: confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), item factor loading, item-total correlation, concurrent analysis, mediating analysis, and reliability analysis.
The CFA confirmed the validity of the eight-item structure OMDS. The findings also revealed a significant relationship between OMD, empathic tendency, and cyberbullying. Precisely, OMD mediated the relationship between empathic tendency and cyberbullying.
The reliability values of the OMDS were good. Likewise, the Turkish version of the scale was also valid and reliable. OMD mediated the relationship between empathic tendency and cyberbullying.
传统的道德脱离在日常生活中很常见。然而，随着在虚拟环境中花费的时间增加，研究网络道德脱离（OMD）的必要性也变得明显。在本研究中，我们旨在使OMD量表（OMDS）适用于土耳其人群，并研究OMD、共情倾向和网络欺凌之间的关系。
共纳入694名自愿参与的土耳其青少年，其中404名（58.2%）为女性，290名（41.8%）为男性，平均年龄为15.19岁（范围：14 - 17岁；标准差 = 1.09）。使用OMDS、网络欺凌量表和青少年KA - Sİ共情倾向量表收集数据。该研究分几个阶段进行：验证性因素分析（CFA）、项目因素负荷、项目 - 总分相关性、并行分析、中介分析和信度分析。
CFA证实了八项结构OMDS的有效性。研究结果还揭示了OMD、共情倾向和网络欺凌之间存在显著关系。具体而言，OMD在共情倾向和网络欺凌之间起中介作用。
OMDS的信度值良好。同样，该量表的土耳其语版本也是有效且可靠的。OMD在共情倾向和网络欺凌之间起中介作用。
