| | Class number: | FoPSY: IS-MS-PSY-2025-07 | | Abstract: | With the in-depth penetration of the Internet among adolescents, cyberbullying has become a prominent issue threatening their physical and mental health. This study focused on adolescents aged 12-18 years, employing a randomized controlled trial (N=100) combined with Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT) and Ecosystem Theory to systematically explore the psychological causes of cyberbullying and the effectiveness of interventions. The results showed that adolescent cyberbullying behavior is closely related to individual cognitive biases (such as the rationalization of bullying behavior), insufficient emotional regulation ability, family upbringing styles, and peer relationships. Among these factors, adolescents with low empathy and poor emotional regulation had a significantly higher risk of engaging in cyberbullying (OR=1.82-2.36).
A 12-week integrated intervention program constructed based on the theories (including modules such as cognitive restructuring, emotional management, and family-school-community collaboration) revealed that the frequency of cyberbullying in the intervention group decreased by 58.3%, which was significantly higher than the 7.2% decrease in the control group. The symptoms of depression and anxiety in victims improved by 42.9%-44.5%, psychological resilience increased by 40.7%, and the rate of academic excellence rose from 22% to 58%. Multi-dimensional analysis indicated that the synergistic effect of an increase in the proportion of democratic family upbringing (from 32% to 78%), 2 class hours of online safety courses per week in schools, and 3 times of civilized publicity activities per month in communities led to a 62.3% decrease in the incidence of bullying in the intervention area, verifying the effectiveness of the linkage among various levels of the ecosystem.
The study confirmed that correcting irrational cognition through cognitive-behavioral intervention and combining it with a tripartite linkage mechanism of family-school-community can significantly reduce the incidence of cyberbullying and improve the mental health and social functions of adolescents. This research provides a theoretical basis and practical paradigm for formulating systematic online protection strategies for adolescents. It is recommended that the intervention program be incorporated into the compulsory courses of primary and secondary schools, and relevant policies, regulations, and technical prevention and control systems be improved.
