Previous research on the relationship between parenting style and social anxiety in Chinese youth has been inconsistent, which has made it difficult to consider whether improving parenting may serve as a preventative intervention for social anxiety. The current study aimed to clarify these inconsistencies by examining the strength of the association between positive/negative parenting style and social anxiety among Chinese students and the role of certain moderators in those associations. A meta-analysis was conducted on 53 studies with a total sample of 26,024 Chinese mainland students. Separate analyses were conducted for positive parenting style and social anxiety (N = 24,081), and negative parenting style and social anxiety (N = 24,933). Findings suggest a small negative association exists between positive parenting style and social anxiety, and a small positive association exists between negative parenting style and child social anxiety. Analyses suggested type of social anxiety measures, developmental stage, and gender all moderated the relationships between parenting style and social anxiety. Results clarify the direction of the relationship between parenting and social anxiety amongst Chinese youth and point to particular implications and future directions for policy, practice, and research.
先前关于教养方式与中国青少年社交焦虑之间关系的研究结果并不一致，这使得人们难以确定改善教养方式是否可以作为预防社交焦虑的干预措施。本研究旨在通过考察积极/消极教养方式与中国学生社交焦虑之间的关联强度，以及这些关联中某些调节因素的作用，来澄清这些不一致性。对来自中国大陆的 53 项研究进行了荟萃分析，总样本量为 26024 名中国学生。分别对积极教养方式与社交焦虑（N=24081）和消极教养方式与社交焦虑（N=24933）进行了分析。研究结果表明，积极教养方式与社交焦虑之间呈弱负相关，消极教养方式与儿童社交焦虑之间呈弱正相关。分析表明，社交焦虑测量类型、发展阶段和性别均调节了教养方式与社交焦虑之间的关系。研究结果澄清了教养方式与中国青少年社交焦虑之间的关系方向，并为政策、实践和研究指明了特定的意义和未来方向。
