Abstract

Abstract

Objective To explore the mediating and regulating effects of depression symptoms and age on cyberbullying and suicidal ideation in primary and middle school students. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 11 199 primary and secondary school students using the self-designed questionnaire which named Bullying of Primary and Middle School Students and the Mental Health Scale of Chinese Middle School Students. Results Cyberbullying in primary and middle school students was positively correlated with depression symptom (r=0.22, P < 0.001) and suicidal ideation (r=0.40, P < 0.001), and depression symptom was positively correlated with suicidal ideation (r=0.38, P < 0.001). Depression symptom played a mediating role between cyberbullying and suicide ideation (β=0.33, P < 0.001). Age moderated the mediated effect of depression symptom(β=-0.01, P < 0.001). With age increasing, the effect of depression symptom on suicide ideation reduced. Conclusions The cyberbullying can affect suicide ideation through depression symptom, and age moderates the relationship between depression symptom and suicide ideation.
- Cyberbullying victimization,
- Suicide ideation,
- Depressive symptoms
