Title

Parenting Styles and Moral Disengagement: Unraveling Trolling in Greek Female
College Students

Creator

Georgaki, Konstantina

Abstract

This Thesis examined the relationship between moral disengagement, parenting
styles and trolling behavior in Greek female college students (N=154), testing
whether parenting styles could predict trolling. Participants completed the GAIT,
MDM, and (s)-EMBU scales. Trolling was positively correlated with moral
disengagement, rejection, and overprotection and negatively correlated with
warm parenting styles. Moral disengagement showed similar correlations, and
parenting styles weakly predicted trolling. Findings suggest a link between
trolling, moral disengagement and parenting styles, contributing to existing
literature. Some limitations include time constraints and sample size. Future
research can work on developing interventions and exploring moderators
between trolling and parenting styles.
