Childhood Maltreatment and Adolescents'Bullying:The Roles of Adolescents'Moral Disengagement and Fathers'Moral Disengagement
Based on the cycle of violence hypothesis and social learning theory,this study explored the mechanisms underlying the influence of childhood maltreatment on adolescents'bullying perpetration,and examined the mediating role of adolescents'moral disengagement in such relation as well as the moderating role of fathers'moral disengagement in this process.This study used a short-term longitudinal design with 423 adolescents and 423 fathers who were effectively matched as the study participants.The results showed that:1)T1 childhood maltreatment positively predicted T2 adolescents'bullying perpetration.2)T1 fathers'moral disengagement significantly and positively influenced T2 adolescents'moral disengagement,and there was a significant intergenerational transmission effect between the two factors.3)T2 adolescents'moral disengagement partially mediated the relation between T1 childhood maltreatment and T2 adolescents'bullying perpetration.4)T1 fathers'moral disengagement significantly moderated the pathways of influence of T1 childhood maltreatment on T2 moral disengagement and T2 bullying perpetration,but did not moderate the relation between T2 adolescents'moral disengagement and T2 bullying perpetration.
