abstract="Previous studies have found some risk factors of cyberbullying. However, little is known about how mother phubbing may influence adolescent cyberbullying, and the  mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this relationship. &quot;Phubbing,&quot; which  is a portmanteau of &quot;phone&quot; and &quot;subbing,&quot; refers to snubbing other people and focus  on smartphones in social interactions. This study examined whether mother phubbing,  which refers to being phubbed by one's mother, would be positively related to  adolescent cyberbullying, whether perceived mother acceptance would mediate the  relationship between mother phubbing and adolescent cyberbullying, and whether  emotional stability would moderate the pathways between mother phubbing and  adolescent cyberbullying. The sample consisted of 4,213 Chinese senior high school  students (mean age 16.41 years, SD = 0.77, 53% were female). Participants completed  measurements regarding mother phubbing, cyberbullying, perceived mother acceptance,  and emotional stability. The results indicated that mother phubbing was positively  related to cyberbullying, which was mediated by perceived mother acceptance. Further, moderated mediation analyses showed that emotional stability moderated the  direct path between mother phubbing and cyberbullying and the indirect path between  mother phubbing and perceived mother acceptance. This study highlighted the harmful  impact of mother phubbing on adolescents by showing a positive association between  mother phubbing and adolescent cyberbullying, as well as the underlying mechanisms  between mother phubbing and adolescent cyberbullying.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
