Abstract:
Purpose:This study aimed to examine the effect of cyberbullying victimization on suicidal ideation and test the moderating effect of parenting attitudes in the relationship between the two variables.
Methods:This study analyzed the data of 5651 middle and high school students from the “Children and Youth Human Rights Survey” conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute in 2020. For analysis, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, multiple regression, and a simple model of PROCESS macro analysis methods were performed.
Results:The factors influencing suicidal ideation were cyberbullying victimization (β=.10, p<.001), decision-respecting parenting attitude (β=-.16, p<.001), and neglectful parenting attitude (β=.12, p<.001). These factors explained 16.0% of the variance in suicidal ideation after adjusting for other covariates(F=64.55, p<.001). Additionally, among parenting attitudes, only a neglectful parenting attitude (B=-0.01, p<.001, R2=.14) moderated the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and suicidal ideation among adolescents.
Conclusion:Based on the findings, this study discussed practical and policy implications for promoting supportive parenting attitudes in preventing cyberbullying victimization and suicidal ideation.
