Cyberbullying has become a prevalent social issue affecting students’ physical and mental health. To effectively prevent and address cyberbullying, this study aims to explore the impact of school moral atmosphere on cyberbullying behavior among vocational college students, and to examine the chain mediating roles of moral disengagement and moral identity. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 1,005 vocational college students. The results show that:(1) School moral atmosphere is significantly negatively correlated with cyberbullying behavior, significantly positively correlated with moral identity, and significantly negatively correlated with moral disengagement;(2) Moral disengagement is significantly positively correlated with cyberbullying behavior and significantly negatively correlated with moral identity;(3) Moral identity is significantly negatively correlated with cyberbullying behavior;(4) School moral atmosphere not only directly affects cyberbullying behavior but also exerts indirect effects through three mediating pathways: the separate mediating role of moral disengagement, the separate mediating role of moral identity, and the chain mediating role of moral disengagement → moral identity.
