This research examined the longitudinal links between perceptions of family rituals, family cohesion, and adolescents' well-being in 713 adolescent-parent/caregiver dyads in New Zealand. Parents (86% mothers) assessed family ritual meaning and family cohesion, and adolescents (10 to 16 years old at Time 1) reported on family cohesion and well-being at two times of measurement with a 1-year interval. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess stability coefficients, cross-lagged effects, and to test a multistep mediation model. Results showed longitudinal bidirectional effects between perceptions of family ritual meaning and family cohesion (for parents), and between perceptions of family cohesion from parents/caregivers and adolescents. In addition, family ritual meaning was found to be linked to adolescents' well-being indirectly via parents' and adolescents' family cohesion. Results support and expand previous research on the direct and indirect effects of family rituals in family and individual positive outcomes.
本研究考察了新西兰 713 对青少年-家长/照顾者的纵向关系,即家庭仪式感、家庭凝聚力与青少年幸福感之间的关系。家长(86%为母亲)评估了家庭仪式意义和家庭凝聚力,青少年(在第 1 次测量时年龄为 10 至 16 岁)在两次测量时报告了家庭凝聚力和幸福感,两次测量间隔为 1 年。结构方程模型(SEM)用于评估稳定性系数、交叉滞后效应,并测试多步骤中介模型。结果表明,家庭仪式意义的感知与家庭凝聚力(针对父母)之间存在纵向双向影响,父母/照顾者感知到的家庭凝聚力与青少年之间也存在纵向双向影响。此外,家庭仪式意义与青少年的幸福感之间存在间接联系,这种联系是通过父母和青少年的家庭凝聚力实现的。结果支持并扩展了先前关于家庭仪式在家庭和个体积极结果中的直接和间接影响的研究。
