With the growing prosperity of the network,some of the negative behavior under the line has a new breeding soil,network bullying has become more and more people's vision in recent years,which has also attracted the attention of psychological researchers.In this phenomenon,there are three important roles:bullies,victims and spectators.Some people become victims of cyberbullying,some of them become bullies,while most of them play the role of spectators.The study of the relationship between the cognitive level of individual moral cognition and the online bullying bystander behavior and the deep exploration of the inner psychological mechanism behind these effects can not only enrich the existing bystander behavior research,but also provide scientific basis for the intervention and prevention of network bullying.Based on the theoretical framework of "moral disengagement",the following two studies have been carried out in this paper,based on thecore issue of "the impact mechanism of Internet bullying on bystander behavior".A questionnaire survey was used in the study.188 adult subjects were selected as the subjects.The questionnaire of moral deduction,moral identity and online bullying on thebasis of events were issued to explore the relationship between the three.The results show that moral deduction is negative to predict the behavior tendency of victimization,and topredict bullying behavior tendency;moral identity is predicting the tendency of victimizationand negatively predicting bullying behavior.There is a significant negative correlation between victimization aid and bullying enhancement.Moral identity plays a moderating role in moral disengagement,bullying and behavioral tendencies.Under the condition of low moral identity,the tendency of bullying will increase significantly with the level of moral deduction,but under the condition of high identification,moral detachment has no predictive effect on the tendency of bullying.In study two,75 adult subjects were used to explore the interaction between moral reasoning and moral identity in the online bullying bystander behavior.The results show that moral identity plays a moderating role in moral disengagement and victimization aid behavior.Under the conditions of moral identity,moral detachment has no significant effect on victim assistance behavior,while moral identification,under the control of moral identity,is significantly negative to predict victimization.Study three uses Internet based experiment to further explore the influence of state moral withdrawal and moral identity on the behavior of Internet bullying bystanders.The experimental subjects were 81,and 2 of the two factors were used to experiment with the experimental design of the moral identification start and moral identity control.The results show that,under the condition of moral identification,the behavior of victimization of moral detachment control group is significantly higher than that of the moral deduction group;under the condition of moral identity control,there is no significant difference between the victim assistance behavior of the moral detachment control group and the moral deduction group.Through the above three studies,this paper systematically examines the relationship between moral disengagement,moral identity and online bullying bystander behavior,and preliminarily reveals the regulatory mechanism of moral identity.The findings remind people that it is necessary to pay attention to the victims of Internet bullying,that is,to guide college students to use social networking sites correctly and reasonably,to avoid being the object of network bullying due to improper behavior,and to improve the level of individual moral identity and refusing to be indifferent bystander.
