父母冲突与儿童青少年心理健康:自我概念的中介作用

Interparental conflict and mental health in children and adolescents: the mediating effect of self-concept

摘要:

目的 探讨儿童青少年自我概念在父母冲突与心理健康之间的中介作用。方法 采用方便抽样的方法调查某县689名中小学生的心理问题、自我概念水平和父母冲突情况。研究工具包括一般情况调查表、长处和困难问卷、自我描述问卷和儿童对婚姻冲突感知量表，采用结构方程模型建立中介作用模型，并进行多群组结构方程模型分析，采用Bootstrap法对中介效应的显著性进行检验。结果 父母冲突与儿童青少年心理问题呈正相关（P < 0.05），父母冲突与自我概念呈负相关（P < 0.01），自我概念与心理问题呈负相关（P < 0.01）。儿童青少年自我概念在父母冲突和心理问题之间起部分中介作用，中介效应占总效应值的60%。学业阶段在父母冲突、心理问题、自我概念三者关系中起调节作用，性别无调节作用。结论 自我概念在父母冲突与心理健康之间发挥重要作用，对于暴露于父母冲突环境下的儿童青少年，应注重提高其自我概念水平。

Abstract:

Objective To examine the mediating effect of self-concept between interparental conflict and mental health in children and adolescents. Methods A total of 689 students (10-18 years) were surveyed using the convenient sampling method, and their mental health, self-concept, and interparental conflict were examined by the general status questionnaire, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, Self-Description Questionnaire, and Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and simultaneous analysis of several groups were used to construct the mediator model and analyze the data, respectively. The Bootstrap method was used to assess the significance of the mediating effects. Results Interparental conflict was positively correlated with mental health of children and adolescents (P < 0.05), but was negatively correlated with self-concept (P < 0.01). Self-concept was negatively correlated with mental health (P < 0.01). Self-concept had a partial (60%) mediating effect between interparental conflict and mental health. Academic stage, but not gender, had a regulatory role on interparental conflict, mental health, and self-concept. Conclusions Self-concept plays an important role between interparental conflict and mental health. It is necessary to improve self-concept level in children and adolescents exposed to interparental conflict.
