ABSTRACT

Self- disclosure on social networking sites was found to be related to cyber victimization, loneliness, and psychological distress. However, few studies have investigated the mediating role of cyber victimization in these relationships among adolescents, especially in Vietnamese adolescents. This paper aims to investigate the indirect effect of cyber victimization on the path from self-disclosure on social networking sites to loneliness and on the path from self-disclosure to psychological distress among Vietnamese adolescents. Responses from 980 Vietnamese adolescents (M_age = 16.39, SD = 0.592) with no missing data were used for the analysis. The results indicated that 1) cyber victimization partially mediated the link between self- disclosure and loneliness and 2) cyber victimization fully mediated the link between self- disclosure and psychological distress. Interventions aimed at reducing the risk of cyber victimization can help reduce loneliness and psychological distress in adolescents who have self-disclosed on social networking sites.

摘要

社交网站上的自我披露被发现与网络受害、孤独和心理困扰有关。然而，很少有研究调查网络受害在这些青少年关系中的中介作用，尤其是越南青少年。本文旨在调查网络受害对越南青少年从在社交网站上自我表露到孤独的路径以及从自我表露到心理困扰的路径的间接影响。来自 980 名越南青少年的回答（M_年龄 = 16.39，SD = 0.592），没有缺失数据用于分析。结果表明，1) 网络受害在自我表露与孤独之间的联系中起部分中介作用；2) 网络受害在自我表露与心理困扰之间的联系中起完全中介作用。旨在降低网络受害风险的干预措施可以帮助减少在社交网站上自我披露的青少年的孤独感和心理困扰。
