Background

Previous research has found associations between cyberbullying victimization and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents. Exploration of the possible mediating variables involved is necessary to support intervention with victims.

Objective

This study examined whether depression and early maladaptive schemas (EMS) mediate the association between cyberbullying victimization and NSSI, along with the potential protective role of dispositional mindfulness.

Participants and setting

A total of 742 Spanish adolescents (50.20% girls) between 12 and 17 years old (M = 14.58; SD = 1.00) participated in the final sample.

Method

Participants completed measures of cyberbullying victimization, NSSI, EMS, depression, and mindfulness facets. Mediational models moderated by facets of mindfulness were tested.

Results

Cyberbullying victimization was associated with NSSI through increased depression and EMS. Acting with awareness buffered the association between cyberbullying victimization and NSSI, whereas non-judging increased the association between cyberbullying victimization and depression.

Conclusions

Cybervictimization is associated with NSSI. The mindfulness facet of acting with awareness plays a protector role. Interventions in NSSI and cyberbullying could benefit from these findings.

青少年网络欺凌受害和非自杀性自我伤害：适应不良图式和性格正念的作用

背景

先前的研究发现青少年网络欺凌受害与非自杀性自伤 (NSSI) 之间存在关联。有必要探索可能涉及的中介变量，以支持对受害者的干预。

客观的

本研究探讨了抑郁症和早期适应不良图式 (EMS) 是否介导了网络欺凌受害与 NSSI 之间的关联，以及性格正念的潜在保护作用。

参与者和设置

共有 742 名 12 至 17 岁的西班牙青少年（50.20% 为女孩）（M = 14.58；SD = 1.00）参与了最终样本。

方法

参与者完成了网络欺凌受害、NSSI、EMS、抑郁和正念方面的测量。测试了由正念方面调节的中介模型。

结果

网络欺凌受害通过增加抑郁和 EMS 与 NSSI 相关。有意识地采取行动缓冲了网络欺凌受害与 NSSI 之间的关联，而非判断增加了网络欺凌受害与抑郁之间的关联。

结论

网络受害与 NSSI 相关。有意识地行动的正念方面起着保护者的作用。对 NSSI 和网络欺凌的干预可以从这些发现中受益。
