Abstract: (407 Views)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of maladaptive emotion regulation in the relationship between dark personality traits and cyber aggression. The descriptive-correlation research method was path analysis. The research community was formed by all the students of Tabriz University in 1402-1403, from which 390 people were selected as a sample by multi-stage cluster random sampling. The tools of this research included the Dark Five Personality Traits Questionnaire (DPQ) by Yousefi et al. (1400), the short form of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) by Garnefsky and Kraich (2006), and the Cyber Aggression Questionnaire (CYBA) by Álvarez-García et al. (2016). The path analysis method was used to analyze the research data. The findings showed that among the dark traits, the direct effect of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and spitefulness on cyber aggression was significant (P<0.01). Also, the results showed that the indirect effect of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and spitefulness (P<0.01) through maladaptive emotion regulation on cyber aggression was significant. In addition, the fit indices showed that the final model has a good fit. From the above findings, it can be concluded that maladaptive emotion regulation can play a role in the influence of dark personality traits on cyber aggression.
