Parental psychological control and adolescent cyberbullying victimisation and perpetration: the mediating roles of avoidance motivation and revenge motivation
Abstract
This study aims to (1) explore adolescents’ online behaviours and experiences of cyberbullying, (2) examine the associations between parental psychological control and cyberbullying victimisation and perpetration, after controlling for age and positive parenting, and (3) further examine the mediating effects of avoidance and revenge motivation on the associations between parenting and cyberbullying victimisation and perpetration. Participants were 853 adolescents (mean age = 12.86) in Taiwan. The results reveal that psychological control is associated with both cyberbullying victimisation and perpetration. Avoidance partially mediated the relationship between psychological control and victimisation, whereas revenge fully mediated the association between psychological control and cyberbullying perpetration. Clinical implications are suggested to address both individual and contextual factors for prevention and intervention of cyberbullying.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
