| dc.description.abstract | The study explored the link between Self-control, Moral Disengagement and Cyber Aggression in Young Adults. In the study it was hypothesized that (a) Self-control is negatively related to Cyber Aggression and Moral Disengagement in young adults, (b) Self-control and Moral disengagement are predictors of Cyber Aggression in young adults, (c) There will be significant gender differences in young adults. Correlational cross-sectional research design with Non Probability Purposive sampling technique is used. Total 200 participants (Men=100; Women=100) are included by using g-power formula and in person data collection method was used. Self-control scale (Tangney et al., 2004), Propensity to Morally Disengage Scale (Moore et al., 2012) and Cyber MAD scale (DeMarsico et al., 2021) were used. Results revealed negative correlation between Self-control and Cyber aggression, while positive relationship between Self control and Moral disengagement. Regression analysis showed that self-control is negative predictor of Cyber Aggression. Independent sample t-test results show that Moral disengagement is higher in women as compared to men. This study highlights the implication for students of colleges and universities who can learn how to manage their online interactions in ethical ways. | |
