This study investigated the complex relationship between the Dark Triad (DT) and anonymity levels in the context of cyber aggression on social media....Over the course of a four-day simulated exclusionary cyber aggression event, participants' attitudes were measured via surveys, while their aggressive behaviors were assessed using the polling function on social media....The findings revealed that participants with high DT exhibited significantly higher levels of cyber aggression under the low-anonymity condition compared to those with low DT. However, there was no difference between groups under the high-anonymity condition....This study makes a significant contribution by employing a simulated cyber aggression scenario that captures participants' real-time attitudes and behaviors, rather than relying solely on self-report measures, as is common in previous research.

The Cyber Aggression in Relationships Scale (CARS) is a widely used and validated measure of adult cyber intimate partner violence (C-IPV). The current study aimed to create a short screener of CARS (CARS-SS) through testing cross-cultural ...

The presence of symptoms of depression and anxiety at T2 predicted increased cyber aggression at T3, and depressive symptoms at T2 also predicted an increase in reactive aggression at T3 (p < 0.1).

The general aggression model (GAM) suggests that cyber-aggression stems from individual characteristics and situational contexts. Previous studies have focused on limited factors using linear models, leading to oversimplified predictions. T...

The discussion addresses the implications of these findings for the socio-emotional contextualization of cyber aggression and highlights the importance of evaluating hostile messages, presumably more prevalent during adolescence than other types of cyber aggression.

A growing body of research suggests a link between Dark Triad personality traits and cyber aggression but inconsistencies exist....To address these gaps, this innovative study followed a large sample of Taiwanese (N = 880) and employed a longitudinal design to examine the main and potentially interactive effects of individual Dark Triad traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) on three specific forms of indirect cyber...aggression (cyberstalking, exclusion, and outing) assessed one year apart.

However, the specific impact of cyber aggression on suicidal ideation and the longitudinal mechanisms remains unclear. Hence, this study sought to address these gaps by applying the general aggression model (GAM)....The random-intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) was employed to explore the roles of depressive symptoms and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) between cyber aggression and suicidal ideation at both the between- and within-person levels....At the within-person level, cyber aggression exhibited unidirectional positive cross-lagged effects on depressive symptoms and NSSI, and could subsequently indirectly lead to suicidal ideation via the contemporaneous associations from depressive symptoms and NSSI to suicidal ideation....These results not only align with GAM but also shed light on the underlying mechanisms linking cyber aggression to suicidal ideation....Also, the findings underscore the significance of maintaining a positive network environment for the well-being of all internet users even cyber aggression perpetrators.

Results: At all ages studied, the probability of experiencing depressive symptoms increases as levels of cyber aggression do, especially in the group between 19 and 24 years.

The increasing prevalence of adults' prejudice against adolescents on the Internet could cause opposing attitudes and even online aggression against teenagers. Yet, such age discrimination is less challenged compared to other social biases ...
