AB  - As an extension of traditional bullying, cyberbullying emerges with the 
      increasing popularity of the internet, and seriously affects the health of 
      students. However, fewer studies have explored the potential influencing 
      mechanisms of cyberbullying victimization from a positive psychology perspective. 
      Therefore, based on the positive youth development theory, this study will 
      explore the potential mediator and moderator in the relationship between positive 
      youth development (PYD) attributes and cyberbullying victimization through a 
      longitudinal design. 719 students (Mage = 15.95 years, SD = 0.76, 45.2% boy) 
      participated in the study and completed self-report questionnaires on relevant 
      variables. The result found that students' level of PYD significantly and 
      negatively predicted the level of cyberbullying victimization. Meanwhile, SEM 
      analysis showed that PYD influenced individuals' cyberbullying victimization by 
      affecting their internet gaming disorder (IGD), while depression levels moderated 
      the relationship between PYD and IGD. This study examines cyberbullying 
      victimization from a positive psychology orientation, with potential prevention 
      and intervention value.
