Previous research has concentrated exclusively on the association between the frequency of joint family activities (JFA) and adolescent problem behaviours. In this study, multiple linear regressions based on a national sample of 3467 13- to 16-year-olds in Switzerland revealed that JFA enjoyment rather than JFA frequency is consistently related to low adolescent substance use and violence. By choosing JFA that their children enjoy, parents might provide opportunities for disclosure, strengthen family bonds and reduce the likelihood of adolescent problem behaviours. In terms of prevention, a shift in focus towards the quality rather than the quantity of JFA could prove more effective.
先前的研究仅集中于探讨大家庭活动频率与青少年问题行为之间的关联。本研究基于瑞士一个由 3467 名 13 至 16 岁青少年组成的全国性样本,采用多元线性回归分析,结果表明,青少年对大家庭活动的享受程度而非其频率,与青少年物质使用和暴力行为的发生率较低密切相关。通过选择孩子喜欢的大家庭活动,父母可以为孩子提供敞开心扉的机会,增强家庭联系,并降低青少年问题行为的发生概率。在预防层面,将关注点从大家庭活动的数量转移到质量上可能更有效。
