Abstract

Based on the integration of the group socialization theory and the individual–context interaction model, we examined whether moral disengagement mediated the association between deviant peer affiliation and bullying perpetration and whether this mediation model was moderated by moral identity. A total of 438 adolescents participated in the current study. They completed measures regarding deviant peer affiliation, bullying perpetration, moral disengagement, and moral identity. Deviant peer affiliation positively predicted adolescents’ bullying perpetration at six months later and this relationship was partially mediated by moral disengagement. Moral identity did not moderate the direct relationship between deviant peer affiliation and adolescents’ bullying perpetration. Moral identity moderated the relationship between moral disengagement and adolescents’ bullying perpetration and in turn moderated the indirect relationship between deviant peer affiliation and bullying perpetration. Specifically, the relationship between moral disengagement and bullying perpetration and the indirect relationship between deviant peer affiliation and bullying perpetration via moral disengagement both became nonsignificant for adolescents with high moral identity.

摘要

基于群体社会化理论和个人-上下文互动模型的整合，我们研究了道德脱离是否介导了越轨的同伴关系和欺凌行为之间的联系，以及这种中介模型是否受到道德认同的调节。共有438名青少年参加了本研究。他们完成了有关异常同伴关系，欺凌行为，道德脱离接触和道德认同的措施。偏离同伴关系积极地预测了六个月后青少年的欺凌行为，并且这种关系在一定程度上是由道德上的脱离引起的。道德认同并不能缓解同伴之间的隶属关系与青少年的欺凌行为之间的直接关系。道德认同调节了道德分离与青少年欺凌行为之间的关系，进而调节了越轨的同伴关系和欺凌行为之间的间接关系。具体而言，道德脱离与欺凌行为之间的关系以及同伴之间的背离与欺凌行为之间的间接关系通过道德脱离接触对于具有较高道德认同的青少年来说都变得无关紧要。
