Abstract:
Objective:To test the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Cyberbullying Bystand-er Scale(CBS)in Chinese college students.Methods:Totally 722 college students were randomly divided into sample 1(n=356)and sample 2(n=366).Exploratory factor analysis was performed on sample 1,and confirma-tory factor analysis,criterion validity,and internal consistency reliability were performed on sample 2.The criterion validity was tested with the Short Form of Moral Disengagement Scale(MDS).Thirty-seven students of sample 2 were randomly selected and retested 2 week later.Results:The Chinese version of CBS contained 6 distinct factors(40 items),named passive outsider online,defender of the cybervictim online,reinforcer of the cyberbully online,passive face-to-face outsider,face to face defender of the cybervictim,face-to-face reinforcer of the cyberbully.The results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the fitting index of the six-factor modelis good(x2/df=2.83,CFI=0.90,TLI=0.89,RMSEA=0.07,SRMR=0.06).The scores of passive outsider online,reinforcer of the cyberbully online,passive face-to-face outsider and face-to-face reinforcer of the cyberbully were positively correla-ted with the moral disengagement(ICC=0.11-0.28,Ps＜0.05).The internal consistency reliabilities of the scale were from 0.89 to 0.96,the retest reliabilities(ICC)of the scale were between 0.75 to 0.89.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the Cyberbullying Bystander Scale(CBS)shows good validity and reliability in Chinese college students.
