This study investigated the impact of the amount of time online on cyberbullying perpetration of middle school students as well as examined if the justice sensitivity (victim sensitivity and penetrator sensitivity) moderated the relationship between the amount of time online and cyberbullying perpetration. The participants in this study were 236 students (120 boys and 116 girls) from two middle schools located in Seoul and Incheon. The levels of cyberbullying perpetration and justice sensitivity were measured by scales developed by Campfield (2008) and Schmitt et al. (2010), respectively. The participants were also asked to report on how much time they spent online a day. The data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, hierarchical regression, and procedures mentioned by Baron and Kenny (1986). The results revealed that the more the students used the Internet, the more likely they were to become a cyberbullying perpetrator. However, such a tendency was observed only for the students who had a higher level of victim sensitivity, and not for those with a lower level of victim sensitivity. This suggested that victim sensitivity moderated the effect of the amount of time spent on the Internet on cyberbullying perpetration; but, penetrator sensitivity had no moderating effect.

This study examined the influence of bullying victimization on reactive aggression among upper elementary school students, and the mediating effect of victim justice sensitivity on the relationship between such victimization and aggression. It also investigated whether negative urgency moderates the influence of bullying victimization on reactive aggression. The participants were a group of 262 children (114 boys and 148 girls) who were fourth to sixth-grade students from 10 elementary schools located in Seoul, Gyeong-gi, and Daegu. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and SPSS Process Macro Model 5. The results were as follows: First, victim justice sensitivity mediated the influence of bullying victimization on reactive aggression among upper elementary school students. Second, negative urgency moderated the effect of bullying victimization on reactive aggression, whereas the impact of this was greater when the level of negative urgency was high. The results suggest that reactive aggression among upper elementary school students could be effectively decreased by preventing bullying victimization, and reducing the level of victim justice sensitivity and negative urgency.

본 연구는 심각한 사회문제인 사이버불링에 영향을 미치는 심리적 요인을 알아보고 대안을 제시하기 위해 전위된 공격성과 피해자, 가해자 정의민감성이 사이버불링경향성을 예측하는지 살펴보고, 피해자, 가해자 정의민감성이 전위된 공격성과 사이버불링경향성 간의 관계를 조절하는지 확인하였다. 본 연구는 20대 성인 261명을 대상으로 1개월간 온라인 설문조사를 진행하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 단순회귀분석 실시 결과, 전위된 공격성(F=62.55, p<.001)과 피해자 정의민감성(F=29.61, p<.001)이 사이버불링 경향성을 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 성별의 영향을 통제하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 가해자 민감성이 전위된 공격성과 사이버불링경향성의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났으며(F=29.61, p<.001) 피해자 민감성의 효과는 유의하지 않았다. 끝으로 본 연구는 향후 연구가 본 연구의 제한점을 고려하여 같은 결과가 다른 연령대 집단에서도 동일하게 나타나는지 확인할 필요가 있으며, 공감적 이해와 같은 접근이 사이버불링경향성을 낮출 수 있을 것임을 제언하였다.
