Due to the absence of temporal and spatial constraints online, cyberbullying is more Likely to occur, and more people are affected by cyberbullying. However, existing research has mainly focused on exploring the impact of cyberbullying on mental health, and further research is needed on the effects of cyberbullying victimization on individual behavior. This study conducted three surveys among 460 Chinese middle school students. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, and longitudinal moderated mediation model testing was performed using SPSS PROCESS. This study found that T1 cyberbullying victimization can affect T3 cyberbullying behavior among middle school students, and T2 loneliness plays a mediating role in the impact of T1 cyberbullying victimization on T3 cyberbullying. T2 Emotional regulation strategies regulated the first half of the mediation effect. Reducing cyberbullying requires paying close attention to the psychological and behavioral changes of cyberbullying victims. The results of this study can guide for prevention of cyberbullying victims from transforming into cyberbullies.
