This paper reports the findings from a study of 935 adolescents' perceived attachments to their parents and peers, and their psychological health and well-being. Perceived attachment to parents did not significantly differ between males and females. However, females scored significantly higher than males on a measure of attachment to peers. Also, relative to males, they had higher anxiety and depression scores, suggesting poorer psychological well-being. Overall, a lower perceived attachment to parents was significantly associated with lower scores on the measures of well-being. Adolescents who perceived high attachments to both their parents and peers had the highest scores on a measure of self-perceived strengths. In this study, adolescents' perceived attachment to peers did not appear to compensate for a low attachment to parents in regard to their mental ill-health. These findings suggest that high perceived attachment to parents may be a critical variable associated with psychological well-being in adolescence.
本文报告了一项对 935 名青少年对父母和同伴的感知依恋、心理健康和幸福感的研究结果。青少年对父母的感知依恋在性别上没有显著差异。然而,在同伴依恋的测量上,女生的得分显著高于男生。此外,与男生相比,她们的焦虑和抑郁得分更高,表明心理健康状况更差。总体而言,对父母的感知依恋程度较低与幸福感衡量标准的得分较低显著相关。对父母和同伴都有较高感知依恋的青少年在自我感知优势的衡量标准上得分最高。在这项研究中,青少年对同伴的感知依恋似乎并不能弥补对父母的低依恋对心理健康的影响。这些发现表明,对父母的高度感知依恋可能是与青少年心理健康相关的一个关键变量。
