Depressed patients are prone to perceive that they were exposed to affectionless control by parents. Meanwhile, high neuroticism is a well-established risk factor for developing depression. Therefore, this study examined whether perceived parental affectionless control is associated with high neuroticism.
The subjects were 664 healthy Japanese volunteers. Perceived parental care and protection were assessed by the Parental Bonding Instrument. Parental rearing was categorized into either optimal parenting (high care/low protection) or three dysfunctional parenting styles including affectionless control (low care/high protection). Neuroticism was evaluated by the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised.
The subjects with paternal affectionless control had higher neuroticism scores than those with paternal optimal parenting. Similar tendency was observed in maternal rearing. Neuroticism scores increased in a stepwise manner with respect to the increase in the number of parents with affectionless control.
The present study shows that perceived parental affectionless control is associated with high neuroticism, suggesting that this parental style increases neuroticism in recipients.
抑郁症患者容易认为自己曾受到父母的冷漠控制。同时,高神经质是公认的患抑郁症的风险因素。因此,本研究探讨了感知到的父母冷漠控制是否与高神经质有关。
研究对象为664名健康的日本志愿者。通过父母教养方式问卷评估感知到的父母关爱和保护。父母教养方式分为最佳教养方式(高关爱/低保护)或三种功能失调的教养方式,包括冷漠控制(低关爱/高保护)。神经质通过修订版的大五人格量表进行评估。
父亲采用冷漠控制方式的受试者比父亲采用最佳教养方式的受试者神经质得分更高。在母亲教养方式方面也观察到类似趋势。随着父母采用冷漠控制方式数量的增加,神经质得分呈逐步上升趋势。
本研究表明,感知到的父母冷漠控制与高神经质有关,这表明这种父母教养方式会增加受影响者的神经质。
