Description
Wei Song and Jingxin Wang study why being cyberbullied ties to distress in vocational college students in China, in a 2026 survey. From 4,290 sound replies, 1,419 students told of at least one bout of cyberbullying, and the team focused on 1,107 who were victims only, never bullies themselves. Students rated victimization, relative deprivation, moral disengagement, and distress symptoms.
Being bullied tied straight to more distress. Indirect paths also held: through feeling deprived next to peers, through moral disengagement, and through the two in a chain, deprivation first. The authors read the chain as one way hurt turns inward for these students. Since all data came at one time by self-report, they urge care in calling the paths causes.
