经历过网络受害的青少年面临睡眠问题的风险。然而，在解释这种联系的机制方面存在着知识空白。该研究使用纵向设计来测试网络受害是否预测了6个月和12个月后青少年的睡眠问题，以及这些模式是否可以部分解释为对受害的情绪困扰。参与者为1987名中国青少年（56.1%为男性），基线时年龄为10至14岁（M = 12.32，SD = 0.53）。在一年的时间里收集数据，分三波，间隔6个月。青少年在所有三个时间点完成了关于网络受害，睡眠问题，抑郁症状和焦虑症状的问卷调查。自回归交叉滞后模型表明，网络受害预测以后的睡眠问题后，控制传统的同伴受害，焦虑和抑郁症状介导这一联系。多变量潜在增长模型表明，网络受害，睡眠问题，焦虑症状和抑郁症状的发展轨迹随着时间的推移，在复杂的方式相关。研究变量的措施是自我报告的，一般性可能是有限的，从中国学校的青少年样本。这些结果是重要的，因为他们的影响，预防和治疗青少年的睡眠问题引起的网络受害。
Adolescents who have experienced cybervictimization are at risk for sleep problems. However, there is a gap in knowledge about the mechanism that would explain this link. The study used a longitudinal design to test if cybervictimization predicted adolescents' sleep problems 6 and 12 months later, and whether these patterns could be explained in part by emotional distress in response to the victimization. Participants were 1987 Chinese adolescents (56.1% males) ages 10 to 14 (M = 12.32, SD = 0.53) at baseline. Data were collected over the course of 1 year, in three waves 6 months apart. The adolescents completed questionnaires regarding cybervictimization, sleep problems, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms at all three time points. Autoregressive cross-lagged models showed that cybervictimization predicted later sleep problems after controlling for traditional peer victimization, and anxiety and depressive symptoms mediated this link. Multivariate latent growth models showed that the developmental trajectories of cybervictimization, sleep problems, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms were related in complex ways over time. Measures of study variables were self-reported, and generalizability may be limited by a sample of adolescents from school in China. These results are important because of their implications for prevention and treatment of adolescents' sleep problems evoked by cybervictimization.
