“…Studies have shown that compared with face-to-face comparisons, upward comparisons which refer to individuals comparing themselves with those who are better off ( Festinger, 1954 ; Zheng et al, 2020 ) through social media will bring more negative emotions ( Fardouly et al, 2017 ), which may lead to cyberbullying. Many previous studies have explored the factors influencing cyberbullying from the perspective of individuals themselves, such as self-esteem, compassion and prosociality, and found that there is a significant relationship between low self-esteem and cyberbullying ( Aliyev and Gengec, 2019 ; Lei et al, 2020 ; Pascual-Sanchez et al, 2021 ), both empathy and prosociality are effective in reducing cyberbullying ( Ferreira et al, 2021 ; Xu and Wang, 2021 ). Few studies have examined the effects of online social comparison on cyberbullying from an environmental perspective ( Geng et al, 2021 ).…”

Based on the General Strain Theory and the moderating role model of social support, the present study explored the relationship between cyber upward social comparison and cyberbullying and further explored the mediating role of moral justification and the moderating role of online social support. This model was examined with 660 Chinese college students. Participants completed questionnaires regarding cyber upward social comparison, cyberbullying, moral justification, and online social support. After basic demographic variables were controlled, cyber upward social comparison was significantly and positively associated with cyberbullying. Moral justification played a mediating role in the relationship between cyber upward social comparison and cyberbullying. The mediating effect of moral justification on the relationship between cyber upward social comparison and cyberbullying was moderated by online social support. The results of this study will provide references for the prevention and intervention of cyberbullying.

“…These benefits allow us to measure people’s self-esteem and obtain scores whenever and wherever we need to. For instance, it has been demonstrated that bullying or cyberbullying and low self-esteem are closely related ( 32 ). Bullying frequently happens on campuses, which has caused general concern in society.…”

Ecological recognition of self-esteem leveraged by video-based gait

Self-esteem is a significant kind of psychological resource, and behavioral self-esteem assessments are rare currently. Using ordinary cameras to capture one’s gait pattern to reveal people’s self-esteem meets the requirement for real-time population-based assessment. A total of 152 healthy students who had no walking issues were recruited as participants. The self-esteem scores and gait data were obtained using a standard 2D camera and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). After data preprocessing, dynamic gait features were extracted for training machine learning models that predicted self-esteem scores based on the data. For self-esteem prediction, the best results were achieved by Gaussian processes and linear regression, with a correlation of 0.51 (p < 0.001), 0.52 (p < 0.001), 0.46 (p < 0.001) for all participants, males, and females, respectively. Moreover, the highest reliability was 0.92 which was achieved by RBF-support vector regression. Gait acquired by a 2D camera can predict one’s self-esteem quite well. This innovative approach is a good supplement to the existing methods in ecological recognition of self-esteem leveraged by video-based gait.

“…Adolescents with high agreeableness are less likely to conduct more aggressive behaviors to achieve their aims. Educators and scholars have increasingly recognized the importance of agreeableness in preventing cyberbullying perpetration (Pascual‐Sanchez et al, 2021). However, previous studies are cross‐sectional designs and unable to test the long‐term prospective association between agreeableness and cyberbullying perpetration (Alonso & Romero, 2017; Pascual‐Sanchez et al, 2021).…”

ObjectiveThe current study explored whether agreeableness predicted cyberbullying perpetration across 3 years and extended previous studies by exploring the mediating effect of moral disengagement and the moderating effects of empathy and gender.MethodThe participants included 2407 adolescents from 7 middle schools in China. They were recruited to complete the Big Five Personality Inventory, Bullying Scale and Empathy Scale at Time 1, Moral Disengagement Scale at Time 1 and Time 2, and Cyberbullying Perpetration Scale at Time 1, Time 2, and Time 3.ResultsAgreeableness at Time 1 predicted cyberbullying perpetration at Time 3 and moral disengagement at Time 2 mediated this relationship. The relationship between moral disengagement at Time 2 and cyberbullying perpetration at Time 3 was stronger for low cognitive empathy adolescents than high cognitive empathy adolescents at Time 1. The relationship between agreeableness at Time 1 and cyberbullying perpetration adolescents at Time 3 was stronger for low affective empathy than high affective empathy adolescents at Time 1. The link between moral disengagement at Time 2 and cyberbullying perpetration at Time 3 was weaker for females than males.ConclusionsLow agreeableness adolescents are more likely to use moral disengagement, which in turn leads to more cyberbullying perpetration.
