“…This ratio suggests that many users are looking at the post as a form of amusement rather than uplifting these ladies. The comment sections being flooded with hate comments support the findings of Muir (2023) where the participants of that study find cyberbullying to be a "norm" that should be taken seriously. Some of these hate comments are made to add to the surplus of hate comments but also are made to increase the popularity of the commenter.…”

“…Many people just want the likes and do not care for the well-being of the TikTok content creator. Cyberbullies tend to have moral disengagement (Muir et al, 2023;Morgan & Fowers, 2022;BakioÄlu & Çapan, 2019), so being hateful on the internet would not phase them, especially if they can receive a bit of popularity. This would explain the influx of repeated/similar comments.…”

“…A predictor of a cyberbully is their level of moral disengagement (Muir et al, 2023;Morgan & Fowers, 2022;BakioÄlu & Çapan, 2019). Empathy is also low in cyberbullies and shares a negative correlation with moral disengagement (Muir et al, 2023;BakioÄlu & Çapan, 2019). Moral disengagement is used in the BakioÄlu and Çapan study (2019) as a predictor of cyberbullying, which is positively correlated while moral disengagement and empathic tendencies are negatively correlated.…”

“…Moral disengagement is used in the BakioÄlu and Çapan study (2019) as a predictor of cyberbullying, which is positively correlated while moral disengagement and empathic tendencies are negatively correlated. Individuals with moral disengagement are moderately correlated to online shaming factors (Muir et al, 2023) which leads to beliefs that victims of cyberbullying deserve it.…”

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the motivations of cyberbullies and characteristics of cyberbullying on TikTok. Past research explains that a key indicator of cyberbullying is moral disengagement. Researchers found that the lack of empathy is a factor in cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can negatively influence the mental health of people according to research, and is oftentimes correlated with depression. However, these studies only focus on social media as a whole and do not highlight the comment culture of TikTok and the content of these comments. Therefore, a content analysis was conducted to analyze the words and creators used to convey hate. This study answered the following research question: “What are the characteristics of cyberbullying on TikTok based on the comments left on the content creator's posts?” The sample was selected through purposeful random sampling and the participants were split into two groups: the content creators and the commenters. There were 7 content creators and 37 comments. The content of the comments were coded and organized into eleven relevant codes. These codes were then categorized into three themes: Comments Regarding Creators’ Appearance, Comments Regarding Creators’ Intellect, and Comments Impacting the Creators’ Psychological Well-Being. To ensure the validity of this study the codes were peer reviewed and rich thick descriptions are provided to uphold the integrity of these comments. Commenters mainly used mockery as a way to humble content creators especially when the content creators were trying to uplift themes. The majority of these commenters utilize profile pictures that did represent themselves most likely to avoid the consequences of their comments. The population most comfortable commenting as themselves was black women, especially when it was under posts of other black women. The demographics of this study was limited and would be best if there was more diversity, the nature of comment sections based on ethnicities could have an influence on the hate comments. This study could be useful for the education system and parents because they deal with adolescents who may be experiencing cyberbullying on the popular social media site, TikTok.

Background The study of Dark Triad traits and emotional variables has been conducted in numerous regions; however, there is a lack of research focusing on Latin American samples and considering variables such as sex and age. Incorporating these variables could enhance our understanding of underlying aversive patterns. Purpose This study aimed to analyze the associations between Dark Triad traits and emotional intelligence in Peruvian adults. Methods Data were collected in 2021 and 272 adults (M=31.8 years, 68% female) participated through online surveys via non-probability purposive sampling. Dirty Dozen and Trait Meta-Mood Scales were used. Two partial correlation network models were applied between the study variables with and without controlling for gender and age. Bridge-expected influence and predictability analysis were calculated to find interconnected traits and higher connections, respectively. Results Subclinical psychopathy primarily showed negative associations with emotional clarity (r=−0.17), followed by emotional attention (r=−0.08) and emotional repair in networks with and without age and gender variables. Machiavellianism consistently displayed a negative association with emotional repair (r=−0.13) in both estimated networks. Conversely, subclinical narcissism exhibited a positive association solely with emotional attention (r=0.15). Furthermore, younger age was linked to higher Machiavellianism (r=−0.23), females showed higher emotional attention (r=0.11), and narcissism connected intrapersonal emotional domains with Dark Traits (bridge expected influence >1.25) while Machiavellianism exhibited greater predictability (r 2 >0.45) due to reinforcement by other Dark Traits. Conclusion This study revealed negative connections between the Dark Triad and emotional intelligence traits, except for narcissism, which was positively associated with emotional attention and functioned as a “bridge” between all traits. However, relying solely on this single positive emotional aspect of narcissism may not be adequate to characterize it as possessing fully adaptive emotional traits. Findings suggest that detailed aspects of emotional intelligence and sociodemographic factors can provide valuable insights into the complex nature of aversive patterns and their broader impact on society.
