网络受欺凌对消极情绪的影响:感知严重性的中介作用和马基雅维利主义的调节作用

The Effect of Cyber-victimization on Negative Emotions:the Mediating Role of Perceived Severity and Moderating Role of Machiavellianism

目的:探讨网络受欺凌对消极情绪的影响,以及感知严重性的中介作用和马基雅维利主义的调节作用。方法:研究1以557名在校大学生为研究对象,采用问卷调查法考察网络受欺凌与消极情绪的关系;研究2通过实验法考察网络受欺凌对消极情绪的影响。结果:(1)研究1显示网络受欺凌和消极情绪显著正相关;感知严重性在二者关系中起中介作用;马基雅维利主义在隐匿身份欺凌和感知严重性关系中起调节作用:对高马基雅维利主义个体而言,隐匿身份欺凌对感知严重性的预测作用不显著;对低马基雅维利主义个体而言,隐匿身份欺凌显著正向预测感知严重性。(2)研究2验证了感知严重性在网络受欺凌和消极情绪间的中介作用。结论:感知严重性是网络受欺凌者产生消极情绪的近端因素,个体对隐匿身份欺凌严重性的感知受马基雅维利主义影响。

Objective:To explore the effect of cyber-victimization on negative emotions and the role of perceived severity and Machiavellianism.Methods:In study 1,557 undergraduates were recruited to complete Cyber Victim Scale,Machiavellianism Personality Scale,Cyberbullying Severity Scale and Negative Affect Scale to explore the effect of cyber-victimization on negative emotions.Study 2 used a single-factor between-subject experimental design(cyber-victimization:experimental condition vs control condition)to investigate the causal relationship between cyber-victimization and negative emotions.Results:(1)The results of Study 1 showed that cyber-victimization was significantly positively related to negative emotions,and perceived severity played a mediating role in the relationship between them.(2)The relationship between hidden identity and perceived severity was moderated by Machiavellianism.For high Machiavellians,hidden identity had no significant effect on perceived severity,while for low Machiavellians,hidden identity significantly positively predicted perceived severity.(3)Study 2 also found the mediating role of perceived severity.Conclusion:Compared with cyber-victimization,perceived severity is a proximal factor affecting victims'negative emotions.
