The aim of this work was to study the influence of several family dimensions on sense of coherence (SOC) in adolescence, controlling the possible effects from the demographic variables, gender and age.
The sample consisted of 7580 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18, who had taken part in the 2010 edition of the WHO Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study in Spain.
The results showed that there were no significant gender differences in SOC levels. However, age had a significant influence on SOC. Higher levels of SOC were found in adolescents aged 13 and 14 compared to older participants. Family variables explained 18% of SOC variability, with affection, easy communication with parents, and parental knowledge as the most outstanding variables. In addition, positive relationships between parents and family affluence had a significant role in explaining SOC levels.
The results suggest that the family context plays an important role in providing meaningful experiences for the development of a strong SOC in adolescence.
本研究旨在探讨多个家庭维度对青少年心理韧性(SOC)的影响,同时控制人口统计学变量、性别和年龄的可能影响。
该样本包括 7580 名 13 至 18 岁的青少年,他们参加了 2010 年版的世界卫生组织《学校儿童健康行为》研究。
结果显示,SOC 水平在性别上没有显著差异。然而,年龄对 SOC 有显著影响。与年龄较大的参与者相比,13 岁和 14 岁的青少年 SOC 水平更高。家庭变量解释了 SOC 变异性的 18%,其中亲情、与父母轻松沟通以及父母的了解是最突出的变量。此外,父母与家庭富裕之间的积极关系在解释 SOC 水平方面起着重要作用。
研究结果表明,家庭环境对于为青少年 SOC 的发展提供有意义的经验起着重要作用。
