In order to investigate the relationship between parenting style of parental rejection and cyberbullying behavior of college students, as well as the moderating effects of empathy and negative emotional facilitated attention between them, college students were investigated based on the general aggression model. In study 1, 320 students were investigated by questionnaire method to explore the relationship between the parenting style of parental rejection and cyberbullying behavior of college students, as well as the moderating effect of empathy. In study 2, 58 students were selected to adopt a 3(paired picture type: positive-positive, positive-negative consistent, positive-negative inconsistent) ×2 (detection point location: left and right) experimental design to explore the moderating effect of negative emotional facilitated attention on maternal rejection and cyberbullying behavior. The results showed that: (1) Parental rejection positively predicted college students' cyberbullying behavior; Empathy can significantly moderate the influence path on cyberbullying behavior of college students. (2) The interaction between the maternal rejection and the negative emotional facilitated attention was significant on the cyberbullying behavior of college students.
