We conducted a survey using questionnaires to investigate the relationship and underlying mechanisms between BJW, gratitude, online social support, and IAB among 802 college students. Results: (a) BJW could significantly predict IAB; (b) The relationship between BJW and IAB is partially mediated by gratitude; (c) Online social support plays a moderating role in the relationship between BJW and IAB. Specifically, for individuals with high online social support, BJW directly predicts IAB.

However, for individuals with low online social support, the predictive effect of BJW on IAB is not significant. Conclusions: These findings indicate that gratitude and online social support play different roles in the relationships between BJW and IAB, and suggest these relationships have unique mechanisms. These results also highlight the importance of gratitude and online social support in comprehending IAB.
