This study aimed at exploring the associations of parent-adolescent relationship and self-esteem with emotional and behavioral problems (EBPs) among Chinese adolescents using a large-scale nationally questionnaire survey data from China.
Obtained from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) 2018, the research data involved 2400 adolescents aged 10-15. Multiple linear regression analysis and the PROCESS macro were used for examining the mediating effect of self-esteem on the associations of parent-adolescent relationship with EBPs.
After controlling the potential confounding factors, parent-adolescent relationship and self-esteem were significantly associated with EBPs (P < 0.01). Correlation analysis results showed that parent-adolescent relationship (r = -0.116, P < 0.01) and self-esteem (r = -0.209, P < 0.01) were negatively correlated with EBPs. Self-esteem partially mediated the associations of parent-adolescent relationship with EBPs among Chinese adolescents.
The cross-sectional design limited the ability to make causal inferences.
Positive parent-adolescent relationship and high self-esteem contributed to fewer EBPs of adolescents. Parent-adolescent relationship predicted EBPs partially mediated by self-esteem. Establishing positive parent-adolescent relationship and improving individual self-esteem may thus be promising targets for intervention in adolescents with EBPs.
本研究旨在使用来自中国的大规模全国问卷调查数据，探讨青少年与父母的关系和自尊与情绪和行为问题（EBPs）之间的关联。
本研究的数据来自中国家庭追踪调查（CFPS）2018 年，涉及 2400 名 10-15 岁的青少年。采用多元线性回归分析和 PROCESS 宏检验自尊在青少年与父母关系与 EBPs 之间的关联中的中介效应。
在控制潜在混杂因素后，青少年与父母的关系和自尊与 EBPs 显著相关（P<0.01）。相关分析结果表明，青少年与父母的关系（r=-0.116，P<0.01）和自尊（r=-0.209，P<0.01）与 EBPs 呈负相关。自尊部分中介了青少年与父母关系与 EBPs 之间的关联。
横断面设计限制了做出因果推断的能力。
积极的青少年与父母的关系和较高的自尊有助于减少青少年的 EBPs。青少年与父母的关系通过自尊部分预测 EBPs。因此，建立积极的青少年与父母的关系和提高个体的自尊可能是干预 EBPs 青少年的有前途的目标。
