Association between Callous-Unemotional Traits and Cyberbullying in College Students: The Moderating Effect of Moral Disengagement

目的:探讨道德推脱在冷酷无情特质与大学生网络欺负行为间的调节作用。方法:采用冷酷无情特质量表、道德推脱问卷和网络欺负行为量表对650名大学生进行调查。结果:冷酷无情特质和道德推脱均与大学生网络欺负行为呈显著正相关;道德推脱可以调节冷酷无情特质和大学生网络欺负行为的关系,在高道德推脱水平下,冷酷无情特质能显著增加大学生网络欺负行为,但在低道德推脱水平下两者之间的关系变得不再显著。结论:道德推脱可以增强冷酷无情特质对大学生网络欺负行为的预测作用。

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential moderating role of moral disengagement in the association between callous-unemotional traits and cyberbullying in college students. Methods: A sample of 650 Chinese college students was recruited in this study to complete the inventory of callous-unemotional traits, moral disengagement questionnaire, and E-bulling scale. Results: Callous-unemotional traits and moral disengagement were both positively related with cyberbullying. Moral disengagement moderated the relationship between callous-unemotional traits and college students’ cyberbullying. That is, there was a significant positive relationship between callous-unemotional traits and cyberbullying under the high moral disengagement level, but this relationship was not significant at lower moral disengagement level. Conclusion: Moral disengagement enhances the positive effect of callous-unemotional traits on college students’ cyberbullying.
