Analyze the correlations among cyberbullying perpetration, self-control, Internet gaming addiction, meaning in life and depression. Mediation analyses were conducted to assess direct and indirect effects of cyberbullying perpetration on depression via self-control and Internet gaming addiction.

(2) Self-control and Internet gaming addiction played a significant partial mediating role in the relationship between cyberbullying perpetration and depression. The mediating effect consists of three indirect effects: Cyberbullying perpetration\u202f\u2192\u202fself-control\u202f\u2192\u202fdepression (the mediating effect value is 0.159,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001), Cyberbullying perpetration\u202f\u2192\u202fInternet gaming addiction\u202f\u2192\u202fdepression (the mediating effect value is 0.18,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001), and Cyberbullying perpetration\u202f\u2192\u202fself-control\u202f\u2192\u202fInternet gaming addiction\u202f\u2192\u202fdepression (the mediating effect value is 0.029,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001). (3) The interaction between cyberbullying perpetration and self-control was significant (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f\u22120.023, 95%CI \u22120.03 to \u22120.015,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.01). Meaning in life plays a moderating role between cyberbullying perpetration and self-control. The stronger the meaning in life, the more obvious the negative effect of cyberbullying perpetration on self-control.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>(1) The research results indicate that cyberbullying perpetration is associated with higher symptoms of depression in adolescents. This association can occur directly or indirectly through reduced self-control and increased addiction to Internet gaming. (2) Adolescents with a stronger sense of meaning in life show a more pronounced decline in self-control after engaging in cyberbullying.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1749786","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]],"date-time":"2026-03-11T06:52:07Z","timestamp":1773211927000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The effect of cyberbullying perpetration on depression in adolescents in western China: the mediating roles of self control and internet gaming addiction and the moderating role of meaning in life"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Juan","family":"Jing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychological Health Center, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College","place":["Nanchong, China"]},{"name":"Laboratory Psychology, Mental Health College, North Sichuan Medical College","place":["Nanchong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaming","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychological Health Center, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College","place":["Nanchong, China"]},{"name":"Laboratory Psychology, Mental Health College, North Sichuan Medical College","place":["Nanchong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychological Health Center, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College","place":["Nanchong, China"]},{"name":"Laboratory Psychology, Mental Health College, North Sichuan Medical College","place":["Nanchong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuxian","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Psychology, Mental Health College, North Sichuan Medical College","place":["Nanchong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e30286","DOI":"10.2196\/30286","article-title":"Implications and preventions of cyberbullying and social exclusion in social media: systematic review","volume":"6","author":"Ademiluyi","year":"2022","journal-title":"JMIR Form.
