Abstract

A two-wave study of 501 Chinese adolescents examined how cyberbullying victimisation shapes later adjustment. Structural equation modelling showed that CV predicted increases in emotional and conduct problems over six months. Loneliness and emotion dysregulation mediated these links, revealing shared and distinct pathways that inform targeted psychological interventions.
