Resumo(s)
Cyberbullying is a complex phenomenon with multiple factors involved, both contextual and individual factors,
such as moral disengagement and empathy. This study investigated how moral disengagement and empathy
could be related, longitudinally in cyberbullying events. Specifically, two gamified tasks (one for empathy and
other for moral disengagement) were analyzed. These tasks were developed attending to the specificities of the
cyberbullying scenarios presented in a serious game. To accomplish this goal, data from gamified tasks (N=208),
from 4 different moments, were analyzed through multilevel linear modeling. Results suggested that there was a
change in adolescents’ moral disengagement over time. Participants with greater empathy revealed lower moral
disengagement overall. Over time, adolescents with greater empathy revealed lower moral disengagement within
their own growth rate. Overall, our results provide important information about the dynamic relationship between
moral disengagement, empathy and cyberbullying, which informs future studies and interventions.
