Abstract:
Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of self-esteem and emotional resilience on the relationship between cyberbullying and depression of college students.Methods:From March to October 2023, a total of 346 college students were measured using Chinese version of Delaware bullying victimization scale-student, self esteem scale, adolescents' emotional resilience questionnaire, and patient health questionnaire-9, adopting a longitudinal tracking design with a total of 2 sessions and a 6-month interval between each session. SPSS 25.0 software was used for common method bias, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis and mediating effect test.Results:(1) The results showed that cyberbullying T1 (4.54±1.60) was significantly and negatively correlated with self-esteem T2 (27.85±4.43) ( r=-0.152, P<0.01), while not significantly correlated with emotional resilience T2 (40.50±9.55) ( r=-0.093, P>0.05).Self-esteem T2 was significantly and positively correlated with emotional resilience T2( r=0.583, P<0.01), while negatively correlated with depression T2 ( r=-0.425, P<0.01). Emotional resilience T2 was significantly and negatively correlated with depression T2 ( r=-0.479, P<0.01).(2) Self-esteem and emotional resilience fully mediated the relationship between cyberbullying and depression. The mediating effect was consisted of two pathways including mediating effect of self-esteem and the chain mediating effect of self-esteem and emotional resilience, with effect value of 0.024 and 0.021 respectively. Conclusion:Cyberbullying can indirectly affect depression through the mediation of self-esteem and chain mediating effect of self-esteem and emotional resilience.
