Class Status

Of a random sample of 386 students from 3 high schools representing differential social class status and drawn from the Oakland County, Michigan area, only 88 (23%) reported they had used any non-medically prescribed drugs. School A (upper middle-class suburban) reported significantly greater use of drugs than School B (lower middle-class suburban) and School C (lower middle-class semi-rural). School A also reported earlier use of drugs and poorer relations with parents than Schools B and C. The study supports two theories about this deviant behavior: (1) the more alienated the group the greater the likelihood of engaging in deviant behavior; (2) the greater the opportunity to engage in a particular kind of behavior the greater the chance of that behavior occurring. School A students seemed to be the most alienated from their parents and had the greatest opportunity, financially speaking, to get the drugs they desired.

The Relationship

Previous studies have found some risk factors of cyberbullying. However, little is known about how mother phubbing may influence adolescent cyberbullying, and the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this relationship. “Phubbing,” which is a portmanteau of “phone” and “subbing,” refers to snubbing other people and focus on smartphones in social interactions. This study examined whether mother phubbing, which refers to being phubbed by one’s mother, would be positively related to adolescent cyberbullying, whether perceived mother acceptance would mediate the relationship between mother phubbing and adolescent cyberbullying, and whether emotional stability would moderate the pathways between mother phubbing and adolescent cyberbullying. The sample consisted of 4,213 Chinese senior high school students (mean age 16.41 years, SD = 0.77, 53% were female). Participants completed measurements regarding mother phubbing, cyberbullying, perceived mother acceptance, and emotional stability. The results indicated that mother phubbing was positively related to cyberbullying, which was mediated by perceived mother acceptance. Further, moderated mediation analyses showed that emotional stability moderated the direct path between mother phubbing and cyberbullying and the indirect path between mother phubbing and perceived mother acceptance. This study highlighted the harmful impact of mother phubbing on adolescents by showing a positive association between mother phubbing and adolescent cyberbullying, as well as the underlying mechanisms between mother phubbing and adolescent cyberbullying.
