Description
Theoretical background and objective of the study: In recent years, ample studies have investigated the risk and protective factors of cyberbullying during adolescence. However, there has been comparatively less research examining the impact of environmental risks, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Additionally, most studies in this field rely on cross-sectional designs, which hinders the understanding of the temporal ordering relation between ACEs and cyberbullying. Therefore, the current study aims to examine the longitudinal association between ACEs and cyberbullying among Chinese adolescents and extend the existing literature by exploring the mediating roles of parental warmth and interpersonal alienation in this relation.
Methodology: The sample consisted of 264 junior high school students and their main caregivers in Heilongjiang Province, China. ACEs, parental warmth, interpersonal alienation, and cyberbullying were measured at three time points in one year. The longitudinal structural equation model (SEM) was utilized to test the interrelations among ACEs, parental warmth, interpersonal alienation, and cyberbullying.
Results and conclusions: Statistical analysis is in progress and the results of this study will be reported during the Forum.
