Cyberbullying is a major youth social problem over the world and it has been associated with a variety of negative outcomes. However, few studies investigated how offline peer victimization affect cyberbullying and the potential relations between family factors and cyberbullying remains unknown. The current study addresses this gap in knowledge by examining the victimized by peers is associated with higher moral disengagement which further promotes college student’s bullying online. A three-wave longitudinal study, each wave spanning six months apart, was conducted in a sample of 521 Chinese college students (Mage = 22.45, SD = 4.44, 59.3% girls). Results of moderated mediation model shown that peer victimization at T1 predicted more cyberbullying at T3 through moral disengagement at T2, after controlling for demographic variables and cyberbullying at T1. T2 moral disengagement significantly mediating the association between T1 peer victimization and T3 cyberbullying. In addition, high level of negative parenting strengthened the effect of moral disengagement at T2 on cyberbullying at T3. The prevention and intervention for both offline and online bullying victimization are discussed.

The internet is an area where young people establish relationships and develop socially, emotionally and morally, but it also gives rise to certain forms of online behaviour, such as cybergossip, which are associated with cyberaggression and other risky behaviour. The aims of this study were to verify whether a longitudinal association exists between cybergossip and cyberaggression, and to discover which mechanisms of moral disengagement may mediate this relationship. The final sample consisted of 1392 students (50% girls; Mage = 13.47; SD = 0.77), who were surveyed in a three-wave longitudinal study at six-month intervals. The results obtained confirmed a direct, positive relationship between cybergossip, subsequent cyberaggression and the mediation exerted by cognitive restructuring in this transition. We discuss the importance of recognizing and detecting the fine distinction between online gossip and cyberaggression with the intention of doing harm, and focus on the justifications used by young people to normalize online bullying. To sum up, there is a clear need to encourage ethical, responsible behaviour in online interactions in order to achieve well-balanced, more sustainable relationships in classrooms.

AbstractSince the first case reported of SARS-CoV-2 the end of December 2019 in China, the number of cases quickly climbed following an exponential growth trend, demonstrating that a global pandemic is possible. As of December 3, 2020, the total number of cases reported are around 65,527,000 contagions worldwide, and 1,524,000 deaths affecting 218 countries and territories. In this scenario, Spain is one of the countries that has suffered in a hard way, the ongoing epidemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, namely COVID-19 disease. In this paper, we present the utilization of phenomenological epidemic models to characterize the two first outbreak waves of COVID-19 in Spain. The study is driven using a two-step phenomenological epidemic approach. First, we use a simple generalized growth model to fit the main parameters at the early epidemic phase; later, we apply our previous finding over a logistic growth model to that characterize both waves completely. The results show that even in the absence of accurate data series, it is possible to characterize the curves of case incidence, and even construct short-term forecast in the near time horizon.

Quo Vadis

Over the past dec­ade, the Hun­garian eco­nomy has achieved unique suc­cesses build­ing on the fiscal and mon­et­ary policy turn­around im­ple­men­ted in the early 2010’s. The tar­geted meas­ures of the gov­ern­ment and the cent­ral bank have helped to put the Hun­garian eco­nomy on a sus­tain­able con­ver­gence path, and at the same time, they have strengthened the im­mune sys­tem of the eco­nomy. As a res­ult, the Hun­garian eco­nomy has been prop­erly pre­pared to face the crisis caused by the coronavirus pan­demic re­cently. However, in ad­di­tion to ad­dress­ing the short-term con­sequences, a longer-term per­spect­ive must be con­tin­ously kept in mind as well. Only coun­tries that are rap­idly ad­apt­ing to the norms of the new – post-Covid-19 pan­demic – world, will be able to win the next dec­ade. The norms of the 21st cen­tury are just tak­ing shape, so every coun­try has a chance to be­come a fron­trun­ner. To con­tinue the eco­nomic catch-up pro­cess, Hun­gary’s growth model needs to be fur­ther de­veloped and ad­jus­ted to these new mega­trends, and mon­et­ary policy must play an act­ive role in this change.
