背景：作为现在的主要生活压力源，COVID-19 大流行可能会大大增加全球人民遭受网络欺凌和抑郁的风险，特别是在数字互联性增强和严格的社会距离的背景下。尽管人们正在采取不同的应对策略，但人们对网络欺凌和抑郁以及两者与应对策略的关系仍然知之甚少。方法：在中国 COVID-19 高峰期对 5,608 名网民进行了全国范围内的网络问卷调查。该研究收集了参与者的应对策略、一般网络欺凌行为、针对报告首例 COVID-19 病例的湖北省居民的网络欺凌行为以及抑郁症的横截面数据。结果：参与者的应对策略采用双因素结构，即以问题为中心的应对和以情绪为中心的应对，且前者被较多采用。应对策略存在性别、年龄、教育程度、收入等差异。以问题为中心的应对方式与较少的网络欺凌行为有关，但与抑郁症无关；研究发现，以情绪为中心的应对方式与网络欺凌和抑郁呈正相关。以情绪为中心的应对方式与抑郁之间的关联是通过网络欺凌来调节的。局限性：该研究采用横断面设计，由于文化、危机阶段和政府对 COVID-19 政策的差异，应注意将其研究结果推广到其他国家。结论：以问题为中心的应对方式与较少的网络欺凌相关，以情绪为中心的应对方式可以预测网络欺凌和抑郁。网络欺凌介导了以情绪为中心的应对方式与抑郁之间的相关性。这些发现为干预人们应对 COVID-19 大流行的策略提供了新的视角。
Background: As a major life stressor now, the COVID-19 pandemic could substantially increase risks of cyberbullying and depression for global people, especially in the context of increased digital interconnectedness and strict social distancing. Though people are adopting different coping strategies, still little is known about their cyberbullying and depression and how the two associated with coping strategies. Methods: A web-based nationwide questionnaire survey was conducted among 5,608 netizens during the peak time of COVID-19 in China. The study collected cross-sectional data on participants’ coping strategies, general cyberbullying behaviors, cyberbullying behaviors specifically to residents of Hubei Province where first COVID-19 case was reported, and depression. Results: A two-factor structure applied to participants’ coping strategies, namely problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping, and the former was more adopted. There existed gender, age, education, and income differences in the coping strategies. Problem-focused coping was associated with less cyberbullying behaviors while had no correlation with depression; emotion-focused coping was found positively correlated with cyberbullying and depression. The association between emotion-focused coping and depression was mediated by cyberbullying. Limitations: The study used cross-sectional design, and its findings should be cautioned to be generalized to other countries, due to the differences in culture, stage of crisis, and government policies on COVID-19. Conclusions: Problem-focused coping was associated with less cyberbullying, and emotion-focused coping predicted cyberbullying and depression. Cyberbullying mediated the correlation between emotion-focused coping and depression. These findings provide new perspectives for interventions on people's coping strategies towards COVID-19 pandemic.
