| 總結: | This study was conducted to examine the influence of cognitive distortions and
psychological resilience on cyber delinquent behaviour among adolescents in Saudi
Arabia. This study also aimed to examine the moderation effect of gender between all
relationships. Employing a mixed-method design, a survey study of 386 students was
first conducted and data were interpreted based on structural equation modeling
(SEM). Then, eight key informants were interviewed and data were analyzed using
deductive and inductive approaches. Two key findings emerged from the analyses.
First, blame others, self-centered, and assuming the worst was significantly positively
influenced cyber delinquent behavior were significantly positive influenced cyber
delinquent behavior. The results also showed that optimism, hardiness,
resourcefulness were significantly negatively influenced cyber delinquent behavior.
Second, gender moderated the relationship between resourcefulness and cyber
delinquent behaviour such relationship was stronger for female adolescents than for
males. This research contributes to the understanding of how gender differences lead
to cyber delinquent behavior by demonstrating that females are dominant in the
association between resourcefulness and cyber delinquent behavior. Upon theoretical
implications, this study also offered several policies and practical implications. |
