With the rapid development of science and technology, the Internet has formed a new form of aggression, which is called cyberbullying. Many studies have demonstrated that cyberbullying can cause serious damage to the physical and mental health of Chinese college students, such as depression and suicide. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and suicidal ideation and the parallel mediating roles of core self-evaluation and depression. A questionnaire was used to measure the research variables in this study among 1,509 college students. The results indicated that: After controlling for participants' gender, age, family structure, and family economic status, cyberbullying victimization significantly and positively related to suicidal ideation. Core self-evaluation and depression separately mediated the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and suicidal ideation. The mediating effect of depression was stronger than that of core self-evaluation. The findings support a parallel mediation model of the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and suicidal ideation. Our study may help to develop interventions and prevention measures for college students who experienced cyberbullying victimization.

Many of the negative consequences suffered by adolescents are largely the result of their problem behavior. In order to clarify the development mechanism of adolescent problem behaviors, this study explored the effect of childhood emotional maltreatment on the developmental trajectory of problem behavior among adolescents and the mediating role of self-compassion. Data were collected from 1,214 Chinese adolescents through electronic questionnaires on childhood emotional maltreatment, self-compassion and problem behaviors in three waves with a six-month interval. This study revealed that childhood emotional maltreatment significantly predicted the development of adolescent problem behaviors. Childhood emotional maltreatment significantly positively predicted the initial level of adolescent problem behaviors and negatively predicted the changing slope of adolescent problem behaviors. Self-compassion played a mediating role between childhood emotional maltreatment and the development of problem behaviors. This provided a new idea for prevention and intervention of adolescent problem behaviors.
