Abstract

The influence of the patriarchal family environment on deviance has been limited to offline harassment perpetration. This study examines its impact on online harassment perpetration, incorporating moderating effects of differential association with peers engaging in online harassment and low self-control. Students attending universities in Seoul, South Korea, were surveyed about online harassment perpetration via smartphones. The OLS regression analysis of a sample of 301 students reveals that the patriarchal family environment is significantly associated with online harassment perpetration, with a notably more pronounced effect among men. Additionally, peer association showed enhancing effects, but this was significant only among women.
