Cyber victimization experience, uncertainty stress, and internet self-efficacy as predictors of negative bystander behavior in cyberbullying among adolescents: a moderated mediation model.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNegative bystander behaviors significantly impact the trajectory of cyberbullying incidents. Previous research has established a link between cyber victimization experience and negative bystander behavior in cyberbullying. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. To address this gap, the current study investigated the mediating role of uncertainty stress and the moderating role of internet self-efficacy between cyber victimization experience and negative bystander behavior in cyberbullying.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with a total of 826 Chinese senior high school students (M
resultsThis study revealed that cyber victimization experience was significantly and positively associated with negative bystander behavior in cyberbullying among adolescents. Mediation modeling indicated that cyber victimization experience directly affected negative bystander behavior in cyberbullying and indirectly affected negative bystander behavior in cyberbullying through the mediating role of uncertainty stress. Furthermore, the mediation role of uncertainty stress was moderated by internet self-efficacy. Specifically, adolescents with lower internet self-efficacy had a stronger association between uncertainty stress and negative bystander behavior in cyberbullying, compared to those with higher self-efficacy.
conclusionsThis study enriches existing literature by elucidating that the mediating effect of uncertainty stress and the moderating effect of internet self-efficacy represent additional explanations of the association between cyber victimization experience and negative bystander behavior in cyberbullying among adolescents. It also provides empirical support for formulating the intervention measures in cyberbullying among adolescents from a bystander's perspective.
