摘要：The variety and frequency of behaviors including the category of cyber-bullying have been increasing lately. Every Internet user can easily publish their emotions and thoughts in the Internet, including their negative emotions intended to harm other people. This research tested the effects of moral emotions in the relationship of empathy and cyber-bullying behaviors. The moral emotions tested were shame, guilt, authentic pride, and hubristic pride while the empathy contained cognition and affection. The data analyzed in this study were collected from 382 subjects consisting of 174 high school students and 208 university students. Among them there were 103 female students and the rest were male ones. All the partisipants answered the questions asked in the Moral Emotion Scale, Empathy Scale and Cyber-Bullying Scale. Based on the results of a regression analysis, this study revealed that it was the cognitive dimension only that contributed to cyber-bullying. In addition, although all moral emotions contributed significantly to cyberbullying, guilt was the only dimension that strengthened the rople of empathy in cyber-bullying.
