Abstract

Abstract:

Based on social learning theory and attachment theory, we investigated the impact of parental phubbing on adolescents’ cyberbullying perpetration and victimization, mediation of parent-child closeness and internalizing problems. A total of 1003 adolescents completed the questionnaire survey, measuring their parental phubbing, internalizing problems, parent-child closeness and cyberbullying perpetration and victimization. The results showed that: 1) The eighth-grade students got the highest score in cyberbullying victimization and parental phubbing, but had the lowest score in parent-child closeness. 2) Parental phubbing was positively related to adolescents’ internalizing problems and cyber-victimization, and negatively related to their parent-child closeness. 3) Parental phubbing had a direct effect on cyber-victimization but had no direct effect on cyber-perpetration. 4) Parental phubbing could affect cyber-victimization and cyber-perpetration through the sole mediating role of parent-child closeness and internalizing problems, and also through the chain mediation effect of parent-child closeness and internalizing problems.

Key words: parental phubbing, cyberbullying, parent-child closeness, internalizing problems, adolescent

摘要：

基于社会学习理论和依恋理论，探讨父母低头行为对青少年网络欺负和受欺负的影响，并探究亲子亲密感和内化问题的中介作用。采用父母低头行为量表、亲子亲密感量表、长处和困难问卷和网络欺负量表对1003名青少年进行调查。结果发现：(1)初二学生的网络受欺负和父母低头行为程度最严重，亲子亲密感水平最低；(2)父母低头行为与青少年内化问题、网络受欺负呈显著正相关，与亲子亲密感呈显著负相关；(3)父母低头行为直接影响青少年网络受欺负，但对网络欺负没有直接影响；(4)父母低头行为通过青少年亲子亲密感和内化问题的单独中介和链式中介间接影响网络欺负、网络受欺负。
