Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of family incivility on cyberbullying perpetration through the mediating roles of negative emotions and psychological distress.
This applied research employed a descriptive-correlational design. The population consisted of all students at the Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) branch, totaling 22,000 individuals. A sample of 384 participants was selected using stratified random sampling based on Cochran's formula. Research instruments included the Family Incivility Scale (Lim & Tai, 2014), the Cyberbullying Perpetration Scale (Curtin et al., 2011), the Negative Emotions Scale (Gong et al., 2010), and the Psychological Distress Scale (Wang et al., 2011). The validity of the questionnaires was assessed based on content, face, and construct validity, and was confirmed after necessary revisions. The reliability of the questionnaires, measured using Cronbach's alpha, was 0.90, 0.90, 0.88, and 0.88, respectively. Data analysis was conducted at both descriptive and inferential levels, including structural equation modeling.
The results indicated that family incivility had a positive impact on cyberbullying perpetration, with a coefficient of 0.55.
