AbstractIn recent years, scholars have extensively investigated the correlation between childhood trauma and cyberbullying. However, findings in this area have been inconsistent. The current study employed a meta-analysis method to explore the relationship between childhood trauma and cyberbullying among students in mainland China, aiming to establish a reliable foundation for resolving existing controversies on this matter. This study included 26 articles, encompassing a total of 29,389 subjects. The findings revealed a moderate positive correlation between childhood trauma and cyberbullying (r = 0.418, 95%CI [0.335, 0.495]). Firstly, the correlation was affected by regions. Compared with eastern China, cyberbullying in the central and western regions was more likely to be affected by childhood trauma (rEastern < rCenter < rWestern). Secondly, the childhood trauma scale could moderate this correlation (rCPANS < rCPMSs < rCTQ-SF), showing the highest correlation coefficient when the CTQ-SF was used as a tool to measure childhood trauma. Thirdly, age also significantly influenced the relationship between childhood trauma and cyberbullying. The correlation coefficient among young adults was higher than that of adolescents (rAdolescents < rYoung adults). Lastly, gender differences were found to significantly moderate the relationship between childhood trauma and cyberbullying, indicating a higher correlation coefficient in female than male (P < 0.05).

We performed a meta-analysis of 79 studies to explore the relationship between positive and negative indicators of parenting style and Internet addiction among 44,650 mainland Chinese teenagers. Results showed that positive indicators of parenting style had a significant negative correlation
with teenagers' Internet addiction and that the correlation was moderated by region and school level. Negative indicators of parenting style were significantly and positively correlated with teenagers' Internet addiction and the correlation was also moderated by region and school level. Theoretical
and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Many researchers believe Internet addiction is related to negative life events, but some scholars do not agree with this view. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of 85 articles published in Chinese and English databases between 2003 and 2020, to explore the relationship between
negative life events and Internet addiction among 86,833 Mainland Chinese teenagers and young adults. Results show that negative life events had a significant positive correlation with Internet addiction and that the correlation was moderated by regional location, gender, and social development.
Compared with the results based on a sample of a single group, our findings are reliable and lay the foundation for further research on negative life events and Internet addiction.
