Abstract

Abstract

Objective To explore the moderating effect of nature connectedness on the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and suicide ideation among college students, so as to provide reference for intervening college students′ cyberbullying and suicide. Methods A stratified cluster of 1 568 college students from 7 universities in Henan Province were randomly selected; a questionnaire survey was conducted using the general situation questionnaire, cyber bullying behavior scale, Beck suicide ideation scale and nature connectedness scale. SPSS 23.0 software was used to enter data and perform statistical analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between variables. A multivariate logistic regression analysis model was used to test the moderating effect to explore the main effects and interactions between cyberbullying victmization and nature connectedness on suicide ideation. Results The scores of cyberbullying victimization of college students were significantly different in gender, grade, place of origin, class leader or not (all P < 0.05). The report rate of suicide ideation among college students was 7.21%, with statistically significant differences observed across cyberbullying victimization or not, gender, and grade (all P < 0.05). Cyberbullying victimization was positively correlated with suicide ideation (r=0.45, P < 0.001), while nature connectedness was negatively correlated with suicide ideation (r=-0.38, P < 0.001). Nature connectedness moderated the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and suicide ideation (OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.06-1.77, P < 0.001). Conclusions Suicide ideation among college students is closely related to cyberbullying victimization and nature connectedness. Family, school, and society can intervene in cyberbullying and suicide ideation among college students by improving their nature connectedness.
