Background and Objectives: Cyberbullying has increased every year among teenagers as the most internet users. The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting cyberbullying based on online disinhibition and perceived mother acceptance with the mediating role of emotional stability.
Materials and Methods: This study is of a descriptive type, and its statistical population included all male students of the second period of high school studying in the state schools of Ardabil City in the academic year of 2023. From this population, a sample of 166 people were selected by convenience sampling method and answered the questionnaires of Cyberbullying, Emotional Stability, Online Disinhibition, and Perceived Mother Acceptance. In order to analyze the data, structural equation modeling was used.
Results: The results showed that online disinhibition with a coefficient value of 0.52 and perceived mother acceptance with a coefficient value of -0.24 are directly related to cyberbullying (p<0.001). Also, online disinhibition with a coefficient value of 0.25 and perceived mother acceptance with a coefficient value of 0.08 have an indirect significant relationship with cyberbullying through the mediation of emotional stability (p<0.001).
Conclusion: In general, the results of the present study showed that online disinhibition and perceived mother acceptance directly and indirectly through the mediation of emotional stability have a significant effect on cyberbullying. In terms of the application of interpersonal psychotherapy interventions, social network use management training and emotion and anger management are recommended for the development of parent-child communication, online disinhibition, emotional stability, and reduction of aggression, respectively.
