To examine the mediating effect of self-concept between interparental conflict and mental health in children and adolescents.
A total of 689 students (10-18 years) were surveyed using the convenient sampling method, and their mental health, self-concept, and interparental conflict were examined by the general status questionnaire, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, Self-Description Questionnaire, and Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and simultaneous analysis of several groups were used to construct the mediator model and analyze the data, respectively. The Bootstrap method was used to assess the significance of the mediating effects.
Interparental conflict was positively correlated with mental health of children and adolescents (P<0.05), but was negatively correlated with self-concept (P<0.01). Self-concept was negatively correlated with mental health (P<0.01). Self-concept had a partial (60%) mediating effect between interparental conflict and mental health. Academic stage, but not gender, had a regulatory role on interparental conflict, mental health, and self-concept.
Self-concept plays an important role between interparental conflict and mental health. It is necessary to improve self-concept level in children and adolescents exposed to interparental conflict.
探讨儿童青少年自我概念在父母间冲突与心理健康之间的中介作用。
采用方便抽样法对689名10 - 18岁学生进行调查,通过一般状况问卷、长处与困难问卷、自我描述问卷及儿童对父母间冲突的感知量表对其心理健康、自我概念和父母间冲突进行测评。分别采用结构方程模型(SEM)和多组同时分析构建中介模型并分析数据,运用Bootstrap法评估中介效应的显著性。
父母间冲突与儿童青少年心理健康呈正相关(P<0.05),与自我概念呈负相关(P<0.01)。自我概念与心理健康呈负相关(P<0.01)。自我概念在父母间冲突与心理健康之间起部分(60%)中介作用。学业阶段而非性别对父母间冲突、心理健康和自我概念具有调节作用。
自我概念在父母间冲突与心理健康之间起重要作用。有必要提高暴露于父母间冲突的儿童青少年的自我概念水平。
