“…Third, the only internalizing symptoms that were evaluated were depressive symptoms. It would be useful to consider other internalizing symptoms, such as anxiety, as well as other psychological problems, including eating disorders and self-injury behaviors, which have been identified as potential outcomes of cyberbullying victimization in non-clinical Spanish adolescents (Faura-Garcia et al, 2021 ; Marco & Tormo-Irun, 2018 ). Fourth, executive functions were only measured at the beginning of the study.…”

“…Therefore, adequate executive functions could help reduce the likelihood that victims of cyberbullying will react with a depressive mood. As indirect evidence for this hypothesis, other variables closely associated with executive functions, such as mindfulness (Diamond & Ling, 2019 ) and resilience (Taylor & Ruiz, 2019 ), buffer the negative impact of cyberbullying victimization on the development of depressive symptoms in adolescents (Faura-Garcia et al, 2021 ; Santos et al, 2021 ). Further, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, which are associated with deficits in executive functions (Kofler et al, 2019 ), led to depressive symptoms in clinical and non-clinical children and adolescents from several countries, with traditional bullying having a moderating role in some studies and a mediating one in others (for a systematic review, see Simmons & Antshel, 2021 ).…”

The consequences of cyberbullying victimization can lead to its perpetuation over time, initiating a vicious cycle. Thus, it is important to identify the factors that contribute to the persistence of victimization. This study aimed to examine some longitudinal mechanisms involved in the perpetuation of cyberbullying victimization in adolescents. The secondary aim was to study the protective role of executive functions (cognitive flexibility and selective attention) in this process, filling a gap in the literature. Sex differences were also studied. The sample consisted of 698 adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age (M = 14.59, SD = 1.36; 40.83% girls) from the Basque Country (Spain). Adolescents participated in a longitudinal study with three waves, in which 5–6 months elapsed between waves. The participants completed measures of executive functions in wave 1, of cyberbullying perpetration and depressive symptoms in waves 1 and 2, and of cyberbullying victimization in all three waves. The findings indicated that cyberbullying victimization was perpetuated through an increase of cyberbullying perpetration and depressive symptoms. Concerning executive functions, cognitive flexibility attenuated the impact of cyberbullying victimization on cyberbullying perpetration and depressive symptoms, and these in turn predicted lower levels of future victimization. Sex differences revealed that selective attention acted as a risk factor for cyberbullying victimization in girls and as a protective factor in boys. The results highlight the importance of considering mediating mechanisms involved in the perpetuation of cyberbullying victimization as well as the beneficial role played by cognitive flexibility in reducing the stability of cyberbullying victimization.

“…Speci cally, negative stressors (e.g., parental corporal punishment) elicit undesired affective states (e.g., depressive symptoms), which in turn motivate NSSI behaviors to avoid those affective states. Consistent with this model, depressive symptoms have been shown to mediate the association between other forms of interpersonal victimization (namely peer victimization, cyberbullying victimization, and parental psychological control) and adolescent NSSI (Baiden et al, 2017;Faura-Garcia et al, 2021;Guo et al, 2021). The current study tests the mediating role of depressive symptoms in the relationship between parental corporal punishment and NSSI.…”

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a global health concern. Parental corporal punishment is shown to be related to NSSI, with unclear underlying mechanisms. The current study tested a potential mediator (i.e., depressive symptoms) and moderator (i.e., the GABRA2 rs279858 genotype) in the relationship between parental corporal punishment and NSSI. Chinese adolescents (N = 673; 53% girls; aged 11–14 years) completed self-report measures and provided saliva samples for DNA genotyping. A moderated mediation model was tested. The results showed that parental corporal punishment was positively associated with NSSI, and depressive symptoms partially mediated this association. The linkage between depressive symptoms and NSSI was weaker among rs279858 GA or GG genotype carriers than AA genotype carriers. Implications of this study are discussed.

“…Third, this study only tested traditional peer victimization; we did not investigate cyberbullying. Several studies have shown that cyberbullying seriously affects adolescents' physical and mental health, resulting in adolescent NSSI [39]. Therefore, future research should include cyberbullying to comprehensively reveal the role of peer victimization on adolescent NSSI and its unique impact mechanism.…”

Background: Peer victimization is a crucial risk predictor for adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). However, adolescent NSSI reactions to peer victimization exhibit large individual differences. This study explored whether depression mediated the association between peer victimization and adolescent NSSI, and whether this mediating path was moderated by the 5-HTR2A gene rs6313 polymorphism. Methods: A total of 667 adolescents (Mage = 12.81 ± 0.48 years) anonymously completed the questionnaires regarding peer victimization, depression, and NSSI. Genomic DNA was extracted from saliva and buccal cells from each participant. Results: The results showed that the positive relation between peer victimization and adolescent NSSI was mediated by depression. The triple interaction between peer victimization, rs6313 single nucleotide polymorphism, and sex on adolescent depression was significant. Moreover, the triple interaction between depression, 5-HTR2A gene rs6313 single nucleotide polymorphism, and sex on NSSI was also significant. In girls, homozygous CC individuals in the high peer victimization group reported significantly higher levels of depression and NSSI than participants in the low peer victimization group; the interaction, however, was not significant in boys and CT/TT genotype girls. Conclusions: These findings promote the etiological understanding of adolescent NSSI, highlighting the mediating and moderating effect of peer victimization on NSSI, and provide evidence supporting the relationship between the serotonin system and adolescent NSSI.
