AB  - INTRODUCTION: As digital natives, young people enjoy the convenience and benefits 
      of the internet but also suffer from unique developmental problems of this age, 
      such as cyberbullying and internet gaming disorder (IGD). Research suggests that 
      these online problem behaviors enjoy high prevalence and various negative 
      impacts. To prevent or intervene, this study attempts to explore the association 
      between cyberbullying and IGD and the potential protectors from the positive 
      youth development (PYD) perspective. METHODS: Through the convenience sampling 
      method, a sample of 463 Chinese adolescents was recruited and participated in the 
      survey. They completed a questionnaire regarding PYD attributes, cyberbullying, 
      IGD, and demographic information. RESULTS: After controlling adolescents' sex and 
      age, results of regression analyses indicated that cyberbullying was positively 
      associated with IGD; PYD attributes had negative cumulative effects on 
      cyberbullying and IGD; and cyberbullying and IGD were negatively related to PYD 
      attributes. Moreover, the mediating effect of PYD attributes was significant in 
      the relationship between cyberbullying and IGD. DISCUSSION: Specifically, it is 
      very possible for adolescents who have experienced one online problem behavior to 
      suffer from another one. Fortunately, positive personal attributes could 
      effectively buffer this cascading effect. These findings may provide theoretical 
      and practical guidance for practitioners that improving PYD attributes may be a 
      promising approach to prevent or reduce adolescent cyberbullying and IGD.
