Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the influence of social ostracism on undergraduate students' online deviant behaviors, as well as its inner mechanism-the mediating role of social control and the moderating role of moral identity. A sample of 769 undergraduate students was recruited to complete the questionnaires, and the results showed that:(1) Social ostracism was positively correlated with online deviant behaviors, while negatively correlated with self-control and moral identity; both self-control and moral identity were negatively correlated with online deviant behaviors. (2) Self-control could significantly mediate the positive association between social ostracism and online deviant behaviors. (3) Moral identity could moderate the direct effect of social ostracism on online deviant behaviors and the mediating effect of self-control, specifically both these two effects were more significant for individuals with lower moral identity. This not only deepens our understanding on influencing factors of online deviant behaviors and its underlying mechanism, but also has important practical values for the prevention and intervention of undergraduate students' online deviant behaviors.

Key words: social ostracism, online deviant behaviors, self-control, moral identity
