Abstract

Coping strategies were associated with depression symptoms among cyberbullying victims. However, little is known about the moderating role of self-esteem in the association between coping strategies and depression symptoms among cyberbullying victims. Our study sought to determine whether self-esteem moderated the association between coping strategies and depression symptoms of cyberbullying victims among Vietnamese undergraduate students. A sample of 606 Vietnamese undergraduate students completed a questionnaire about strategies for dealing with cyberbullying, self-esteem and depression. The results showed that self-esteem moderated the association between problem solving strategy and depression symptoms B = −0.237, se = 0.067, CI = [-0.369, −0.105], between internalization strategy and depression symptoms of cyberbullying victims among Vietnamese undergraduate students B = −0.176, se = 0.066, CI = [-0.305, −0.047]. Our research has contributed to clarify the moderation mechanism of self-esteem in the association between coping strategies with cyberbullying and depression in victims.
