Extant models of the association between harsh parenting and social anxiety among adolescents are mostly partial mediation models, leaving much of the relationship unaccounted for.
The current study intends to test a two-mediator model in which adolescents' cognitive reactivity and emotional dysregulation were assumed to mediate the potential impact of harsh parenting on their social anxiety.
A sample of 726 adolescent students with their parents was recruited from two middle schools located in a provincial city of Northern China.
Both fathers and mothers were required to report on their spouse's harsh parenting practices. The "Behind your back" task was used to assess cognitive reactivity of adolescents who also reported on their emotional dysregulation and social anxiety. Moderated mediation model and simple slope analyses were used to examine the meditational relations and the moderating role of child sex.
For the current model, cognitive reactivity and emotional dysregulation could completely mediate the potential influence of harsh fathering and harsh mothering on adolescents' social anxiety. Moreover, harsh fathering has a greater effect on adolescents' social anxiety than harsh mothering, especially for girls.
Cognitive reactivity in conjunction with emotional dysfunction can better account for the relationship from harsh fathering and harsh mothering to adolescents' social anxiety.
现有的青少年严厉父母与社交焦虑之间关联的模型大多是部分中介模型，仍有很大一部分关系无法解释。
本研究旨在测试一个双中介模型，其中假设青少年的认知反应和情绪调节能力中介了严厉父母对其社交焦虑的潜在影响。
从中国北方一个省会城市的两所中学招募了 726 名青少年学生及其父母作为样本。
要求父母双方报告其配偶的严厉教养行为。“背后”任务用于评估青少年的认知反应，青少年还报告了他们的情绪失调和社交焦虑。采用调节中介模型和简单斜率分析来检验中介关系和儿童性别对中介的调节作用。
对于当前的模型，认知反应和情绪失调可以完全中介严厉父亲教养和严厉母亲教养对青少年社交焦虑的潜在影响。此外，严厉父亲教养对青少年社交焦虑的影响大于严厉母亲教养，尤其是对女孩。
认知反应与情绪功能障碍相结合可以更好地解释从严厉父亲教养和严厉母亲教养到青少年社交焦虑的关系。
