Abstract: (232 Views)

This study aimed to determine the mediating role of cyber victimization in the relationship between emotional self-disclosure and loneliness in adolescents. The present research method was descriptive-correlational structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study consisted of all junior high school students in Isfahan in 2024. Questionnaires were administered to 200 selected students using cluster random sampling. To collect data, the Cyber Bullying Scale (CBS; Menesini et al., 2011), the Emotional Self-Disclosure Scale (ESDS; Snell et al., 1998), and the third version of the Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS3; Russell, 1996) were used. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings showed that the proposed model was a good fit. The findings showed that the direct effect of emotional self-disclosure and cyber victimization on loneliness was significant; Also, the direct effect of emotional self-disclosure on cyber victimization was significant (P<0.05); the results of the bootstrap test showed that cyber victimization had a mediating role between emotional self-disclosure and loneliness (P<0.05). In general, it can be concluded that emotional self-disclosure directly affects adolescents' loneliness through cyber victimization.

Keywords: Loneliness, Emotional Self-Disclosure, Cyber Victimization.
