We aimed to investigate the association between demographic and familial characteristics and psychological properties of adolescents including identity style, spiritual intelligence (SI), perceived parenting style (PPS), family functioning, and mental health.
In this cross-sectional study, high school students aged 15-18 years were enrolled. Demographic characteristics of each student and their parents were recorded. Psychological properties of the students including PPS questionnaire, family assessment device, identity status, mental health status, and SI were assessed. The association between demographic and familial characteristics and psychological properties of adolescents was determined using Multiple Indicators and Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model.
In this study, 279 high school students (140 boys and 139 girls) were enrolled. The most common forms of identity style were diffusion and foreclosure with a prevalence rate of 49.1% and 39.5%, respectively. Results of MIMIC model showed acceptable fit with comparative fit index = 0.91, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.87, and root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.05 (0.04-0.06). There was a significant positive association between age and family functioning ( = 0.001). There was a significant positive association between age and mental health ( = 0.003). There was a significant negative association between gender and PPS ( < 0.001). The most common forms of PPS in females and males were authoritative form and uninvolved parenting, respectively. There was a significant positive association between father education and PPS ( = 0.001).
Our findings indicated that there is an association between families' demographic characteristics and identity style, perceived parental style, family functioning, and SI of adolescence. The association of some factors with mentioned psychological variables is more prominent such as age, gender, and father age.
我们旨在研究人口统计学和家庭特征与青少年心理特性之间的关联,这些心理特性包括认同风格、精神智力(SI)、感知到的养育方式(PPS)、家庭功能和心理健康。
在这项横断面研究中,纳入了15至18岁的高中生。记录了每个学生及其父母的人口统计学特征。对学生的心理特性进行评估,包括PPS问卷、家庭评估工具、认同状态、心理健康状态和SI。使用多指标多原因(MIMIC)模型确定青少年人口统计学和家庭特征与心理特性之间的关联。
在本研究中,纳入了279名高中生(140名男生和139名女生)。认同风格最常见的形式是弥散型和早闭型,患病率分别为49.1%和39.5%。MIMIC模型结果显示拟合良好,比较拟合指数 = 0.91,塔克 - 刘易斯指数 = 0.87,近似均方根误差 = 0.05(0.04 - 0.06)。年龄与家庭功能之间存在显著正相关( = 0.001)。年龄与心理健康之间存在显著正相关( = 0.003)。性别与PPS之间存在显著负相关( < 0.001)。女性和男性中最常见的PPS形式分别是权威型和放任型养育方式。父亲教育程度与PPS之间存在显著正相关( = 0.001)。
我们的研究结果表明,家庭人口统计学特征与青少年的认同风格、感知到的父母养育方式、家庭功能和SI之间存在关联。一些因素与上述心理变量的关联更为显著,如年龄、性别和父亲年龄。
