Although a considerable body of research has documented the association between victimization experience and adolescent mental health, previous studies have not investigated the mediating effects of personality characteristics such as social competence and self-mastery on the associations between cyberbullying victimization and mental health. This study aims to fill in this research gap. Random group sampling based on grade was employed, and a total of 607 adolescents (51.07% females, M_age = 15.04) were recruited to participate in the study. The findings of the present study partially supported the hypotheses. Specifically, the results showed that cyberbullying victimization was positively associated with social anxiety and depression. Self-mastery was found to mediate the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and symptoms of depression and social anxiety. Social competence was found to be negatively related to social anxiety, but no mediating effect was found between cyberbullying victimization and symptoms of mental health. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

尽管有大量研究记录了受害经历与青少年心理健康之间的关系，但先前的研究并未调查社交能力和自我掌握等人格特征对网络欺凌受害与心理健康之间关系的中介作用。本研究旨在填补这一研究空白。采用基于年级的随机分组抽样，共有607名青少年（女性中51.07％，M_年龄） = 15.04）参加研究。本研究的发现部分支持了这一假设。具体而言，结果表明，网络欺凌受害与社交焦虑和抑郁呈正相关。发现自我控制可以调解网络欺凌受害者与抑郁症和社交焦虑症之间的关系。人们发现社交能力与社交焦虑负相关，但在网络欺凌受害者与心理健康症状之间未发现中介作用。讨论了理论和实践意义。
