Abstract

Background and Purpose: Cyberbullying is one of the most vulnerable types of bullying in adolescents, which may result from childhood traumatic experiences and dark triad personality traits. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between childhood traumatic experiences and Cyberbullying with the mediating role of dark triad traits in adolescents. Method: The research method used was correlational studies with structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all male students in the first and second grades of high school in the first district of Rasht city in the academic year 2022-2023. A preliminary sample of 480 individuals was selected through cluster random sampling, after removing the distorted samples, 380 samples were considered as the final sample. Data collection tools included the Cyber-Bullying/Victimization Experiences Questionnaire (Antoniadou et al., 2016), the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (Bernstein et al., 1994), and the Dirty Dozen Questionnaire (Jonson & Webster, 2010). Data analysis was done by SPSS22 and AMOS24 software using the structural equation modeling method. Results: The results indicated a good fit with the proposed model. The findings showed that childhood traumatic experiences have a direct effect on Cyberbullying (β= 0. 583), dark triad traits (β= 0. 714), and dark triad traits on Cyberbullying (β = 0. 318) (P < 0. 05). Additionally, the results also demonstrated a significant mediating role of dark triad traits between childhood traumatic experiences and Cyberbullying (β = 0. 227) (P < 0. 05). Conclusion: In general, it can be concluded that individuals vulnerable to childhood trauma are prone to Cyberbullying in the virtual space, and dark triad personality traits play a significant role in predicting Cyberbullying in adolescents.
