The frequent occurrences of cyberbullying on social platforms have sparked a great deal of social conflict, and bystander intervention plays a crucial role in preventing the escalation of cyberbullying. This research examines the impact of victim self-disclosure on bystander intervention in cyberbullying through two experimental studies. The studies collected data from March to July of 2022, utilizing a convenience sampling approach to recruit university students as experiment participants. Study 1 recruited 247 valid participants, while Study 2 recruited 522 eligible participants. The results of Study 1 indicate that the perceptible dimensions (frequency, privacy, and valence) of victim self-disclosure impact bystander intervention. Specifically, in a low privacy context, positive self-disclosure increases bystander intervention, while negative self-disclosure does the opposite. The results of Study 2 suggest that the valence of self-disclosure affects bystander intervention through the mediation of victim blaming, with interpersonal distance moderating the impact of victim self-disclosure valence on the extent of victim blaming. This moderated mediation model clarifies the psychological process by which the valence of victim self-disclosure affects bystander intervention. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the social psychological process behind bystander intervention, providing a scientific basis and pathway for reducing cyberbullying and fostering a harmonious online environment.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought enormous challenges to both employees and organizations all over the world. Previous studies have found high turnover rates among prison officers since the outbreak of COVID-19. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the mediating role of job burnout between job demands and turnover intention, as well as the moderating role of the perceived efficacy in overcoming COVID-19 in Chinese prison officers. In total, 1316 prison officers were recruited to complete an online questionnaire between May 2022 and June 2022 (during the COVID-19 pandemic). The bootstrapping approach was used to assess the moderated mediation model in this study. The results showed that prison officers’ job demands were positively associated with their turnover intention. Job burnout mediated the relationship between job demands and turnover intention. Perceived efficacy in overcoming COVID-19 moderated the effect of job burnout on turnover intention. Based on these results, suggestions were provided to reduce the high turnover rate of prison officers in public health events like the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a highly persuasive form of evidence in criminal proceedings, the reliability of eyewitness identification is inherently linked to the impartiality of judicial adjudication. Notably, erroneous eyewitness identification stands as the primary cause of wrongful convictions globally, underscoring the urgency of addressing its fallibility. This study aims to systematically dissect the cognitive mechanisms underlying the unreliability of eyewitness identification, clarify the key variables modulating identification accuracy, and explore scientifically validated regulatory strategies. Guided by Wells’ "estimator variables-system variables" framework, we first elucidate the intrinsic cognitive underpinnings, encompassing memory constructive bias and post-event information interference. Drawing on a synthesis of domestic and international empirical findings, we then conduct a systematic analysis of the differential effects of estimator variables and system variables on identification accuracy. Furthermore, we propose core judicial regulatory pathways, including the establishment of a double-blind administration rule and the standardization of lineup procedures, to mitigate identification errors. Finally, we advocate that future research should deepen the exploration of multi-variable interactive effects and neural mechanisms, striving to construct more comprehensive influencing factor models and predictive tools. Ultimately, this examination underscores that effective crisis negotiation is a sophisticated interdisciplinary endeavor, integrating principles from psychology, linguistics, and conflict resolution to navigate asymmetric, high-pressure scenarios towards peaceful outcomes.
