Cyberbullying is a major youth social problem over the world and it has been associated with a variety of negative outcomes. However, few studies investigated how offline peer victimization affect cyberbullying and the potential relations between family factors and cyberbullying remains unknown. The current study addresses this gap in knowledge by examining the victimized by peers is associated with higher moral disengagement which further promotes college student’s bullying online. A three-wave longitudinal study, each wave spanning six months apart, was conducted in a sample of 521 Chinese college students (Mage = 22.45, SD = 4.44, 59.3% girls). Results of moderated mediation model shown that peer victimization at T1 predicted more cyberbullying at T3 through moral disengagement at T2, after controlling for demographic variables and cyberbullying at T1. T2 moral disengagement significantly mediating the association between T1 peer victimization and T3 cyberbullying. In addition, high level of negative parenting strengthened the effect of moral disengagement at T2 on cyberbullying at T3. The prevention and intervention for both offline and online bullying victimization are discussed.

The current study examined a moderated mediation model of future time perspective (FTP; valence and connectedness) related to career construction with career adaptability as a mediator and hope as a moderator among 472 Chinese vocational school adolescents. Regression analysis revealed career adaptability partially mediated the relation from valence to career construction and fully mediated the relationship from connectedness to career construction. Furthermore, hope significantly moderated the mediation model, both mediating effects were more salient at the low level of hope, and the relations of valence and connectedness to career adaptability were stronger at the low level of hope. The result confirmed the motivational role of FTP as adaptivity in career construction model of adaptation. Implications about FTP and hope in career construction are discussed.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, fear has run rampant across the globe. To curb the spread of the virus, several governments have taken measures to drastically transition businesses, work, and schooling to virtual settings. While such transitions are warranted and well-intended, these measures may come with unforeseen consequences. Namely, one’s fear of COVID-19 may more readily manifest as aggressive behaviors in an otherwise incognito virtual social ecology. In the current research, a moderated mediation model examined the mechanisms underlying the relation between fear of COVID-19 and overt and relational aggressive online behavior among Chinese college students. Utilizing a large sample of Chinese college students (N = 2,799), results indicated that moral disengagement mediated the effect of fear of COVID-19 on college students’ overt and relational online aggressive behavior. A positive family cohesion buffered the effect of moral disengagement on relational aggressive behavior, but only for females. The findings, theoretical contributions, and practical implications of the present paper are also discussed.

Based on early experiences and current conditions, a future time perspective influences college students’ behaviors, while psychological violence critically threatens college students’ health. This study explored the relationship between a future time perspective and the psychological violence of perpetrators based on an online investigation of 1424 college students (87.1% women) aged 17 to 31 in China. The results showed that a future time perspective is significantly positively associated with psychological violence. Positive future orientation is negatively associated with psychological violence. Negative and confused future orientations are positively associated with psychological violence. These findings support the need to introduce an intervention regarding a future time perspective to reduce psychological violence among college students.

In the midst of COVID-19, fear has run rampant across the globe. In an effort to curb the spread of the virus, the social ecology as we had known it had drastically transitioned to a virtual setting. However, such a transition, while warranted and well-intended, may come with unforeseen consequences. Namely, one’s fear of COVID-19 may more readily manifest in subsequent behaviors in an otherwise incognito virtual social ecology. In the current research, a moderated mediation model examined the mechanisms underlying the relation between fear of COVID-19 and aggressive online behavior among Chinese college students. Utilizing a large sample of Chinese college students (N = 2,799), results indicated that fear of COVID-19 was directly positively related to engagement in online aggressive behavior. Moral disengagement partially mediated the link between fear of COVID-19 and college students’ online aggressive behavior. The degree of family cohesion reported by participants served to buffer against the relation between moral disengagement and online aggressive behavior. The findings, theoretical contributions, and practical implications of the present paper are also discussed.
