This study investigates the relationships among social isolation, psychological health, and protective factors in adolescents. Feelings of social isolation may influence psychological health in adolescents, but protective factors such as family connectedness, school connectedness, and academic achievement may also play a key role. The sample included 4,746 adolescents from 31 middle and high schools. Participants responded to 221 survey questions regarding peer relationships, psychological health, school connectedness, family relationships, and academic achievement. The findings revealed that social isolation was associated with an increased risk for depressive symptoms, suicide attempts, and low self-esteem. Protective factors influenced associations between social isolation and psychological health. Implications for prevention such as building healthy peer relationships, promoting family connectedness, and developing school-based interventions are discussed.
本研究调查了青少年的社会隔离、心理健康和保护因素之间的关系。社会隔离感可能会影响青少年的心理健康，但诸如家庭联结、学校联结和学业成绩等保护因素也可能起关键作用。样本包括来自31所初中和高中的4746名青少年。参与者回答了221个关于同伴关系、心理健康、学校联结、家庭关系和学业成绩的调查问题。研究结果显示，社会隔离与抑郁症状、自杀未遂和自卑风险增加有关。保护因素影响了社会隔离与心理健康之间的关联。文中还讨论了预防方面的启示，如建立健康的同伴关系、促进家庭联结以及开展基于学校的干预措施。
