The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between personal values in adolescence retrospectively assessed and psychological distress in adults in a representative sample of community adults in Japan.
We used the J-SHINE data collected in 2010 and 2017. Personal values in adolescence were retrospectively measured in the 2017 survey in two ways: (1) value priorities developed from Schwartz's theory of basic values; and (2) commitment to values measured by Personal Values Questionnaire II (PVQ-II). Psychological distress was measured by using K6 in 2010. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to clarify the association between personal values in adolescence and psychological distress in adults, adjusting for sociodemographic variables, smoking, alcohol drinking, and economic status at age 15.
Enduring active challenging, cherishing family and friends, and the commitment to values were significantly and negatively associated with psychological distress in adults. Pursuing one's interest was significantly and positively associated with psychological distress.
Having a value priority of enduring active challenging, cherishing family and friends, and the commitment to values in adolescence may reduce psychological distress in adults.
本研究旨在探讨日本社区成年人代表性样本中，青少年时期回顾性评估的个人价值观与成年期心理困扰之间的关系。
我们使用了 2010 年和 2017 年收集的 J-SHINE 数据。青少年时期的个人价值观通过 2017 年的两项调查进行回顾性评估：（1）从 Schwartz 的基本价值观理论中发展出来的价值观优先级；（2）通过个人价值观问卷 II（PVQ-II）测量的价值观承诺。2010 年采用 K6 量表测量心理困扰。采用多元回归分析，调整了 15 岁时的社会人口统计学变量、吸烟、饮酒和经济状况，以阐明青少年时期的个人价值观与成年期心理困扰之间的关联。
持久积极的挑战、珍惜家人和朋友，以及对价值观的承诺与成年人的心理困扰呈显著负相关。追求个人兴趣与心理困扰呈显著正相关。
青少年时期具有持久积极的挑战、珍惜家人和朋友以及对价值观的承诺的价值观优先级，可能会降低成年人的心理困扰。
