description The present study investigated the relationship between parental attachment and cyberbullying, with the just world belief of the mediator and school climate being the moderator. We collected survey data from 750 middle school students and analyzed the data through mediation and moderation models. The results indicated that after controlling for gender and age, parent–child attachment was negatively related to cyberbullying, with a just world belief significantly mediating this relationship. What is more, school climate moderated the second half of this relationship, as we predicted. We offered possible reasons for the results. Limitations and direction for future studies were discussed.
