Relationship between peer neglect and cyberbullying perpetration
Objective:To explore the relationship between peer neglect and cyberbullying perpetration among middle and high school students.Methods:Totally 1 549 adolescents from a middle and a high school in Hebei province were selected.They were assessed twice with the peer neglect sub-scale ofthe Ostracism Experience Scale for Adolescents and Cyberbullying Behavior Questionnaire for evaluating peer neglect and cyberbullying behavior at an interval of 7 months(T1 and T2).AMOS 23.0 was used for cross-lagged regression analysis.Results:The scores of peer neglect were(1.9±0.8)in T1 and(2.1±0.8)in T2.The scores of cyberbullying perpetration were(1.3±0.3)in T1 and(1.3±0.4)in T2.Peer neglect scores were positively related to cyberbullying perpetration scores both in T1 and T2(T1,r=0.12,P＜0.01;T2,r=0.14,P＜0.01).T1 cyberbullying perpetration scores were positively related to T2 peer neglect scores(β=0.15,P＜0.01),but the relation between T1 peer neglect scores and T2 cyberbullying perpetration scores was not significant(β=0.01,P＞0.5).Conclusion:It suggests that cyberbullying perpetration may positively predict peer neglect in middle and high school students.
