Overview

Randomized trial examines the link between cyberbullying victimization and perpetration, highlighting self-control implications.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore how negative emotions mediate the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and perpetration, and how low self-control affects this process.
  • Surveyed 840 undergraduate students at a midwestern university regarding experiences with cyberbullying.
  • Applied general strain theory to analyze the mediation and moderation effects.
  • Evaluated the influence of negative emotions and self-control on the victim-perpetrator link.
  • Higher levels of cyberbullying victimization correlated with increased cyberbullying perpetration.
  • Negative emotions did not mediate the relationship between victimization and perpetration.
  • The victim-perpetrator relationship was stronger for individuals with low self-control.
