Parenting style and resilience are independently associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety. However, no study has tested the interaction effects between the patterns of parenting style and resilience on mental health in adolescent populations. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the interaction effects between the patterns of parenting style and resilience on depression/anxiety symptoms among middle school students in China.
A sample of 2,179 Chinese middle school students were included in this study. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to examine parenting style patterns. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the associations of different parenting patterns and resilience with depression/anxiety symptoms, as well as the interaction effect.
Latent profile analysis results showed that the most suitable model included three-profile solution, which were labeled as positive parenting, negative parenting, and moderate parenting. Subsequent analyses indicated that students across profiles exhibited significant differences in their depression/anxiety symptoms. Specifically, compared to moderate parenting, negative parenting was positively associated with depression/anxiety symptoms, while positive parenting was negatively associated with these symptoms. Moreover, low levels of resilience were positively associated with depression/anxiety symptoms compared to a high level of resilience. Although the interaction effect was not significant, there were differences in the associations between different parenting patterns and symptoms of depression and anxiety when stratifying resilience.
The present study identified three-profile solution of parenting styles among Chinese middle school students using LPA as a person-centered approach. Future interventions targeting depression/anxiety symptoms in adolescents may consider the potential influence of patterns of parenting styles, or improved resilience, to achieve better intervention outcomes.
养育方式和心理韧性与抑郁和焦虑症状独立相关。然而，尚无研究检验养育方式模式与心理韧性对青少年心理健康的交互作用。因此，本研究旨在探讨养育方式模式与心理韧性对中国中学生抑郁/焦虑症状的交互作用。
本研究纳入了2179名中国中学生样本。采用潜在剖面分析（LPA）来检验养育方式模式。使用多变量逻辑回归分析不同养育模式和心理韧性与抑郁/焦虑症状的关联以及交互作用。
潜在剖面分析结果显示，最合适的模型包括三剖面解，分别标记为积极养育、消极养育和适度养育。随后的分析表明，不同剖面的学生在抑郁/焦虑症状方面存在显著差异。具体而言，与适度养育相比，消极养育与抑郁/焦虑症状呈正相关，而积极养育与这些症状呈负相关。此外，与高心理韧性水平相比，低心理韧性水平与抑郁/焦虑症状呈正相关。虽然交互作用不显著，但在按心理韧性分层时，不同养育模式与抑郁和焦虑症状之间的关联存在差异。
本研究采用LPA作为以人为中心的方法，在中国中学生中确定了养育方式的三剖面解。未来针对青少年抑郁/焦虑症状的干预措施可能需要考虑养育方式模式或改善心理韧性的潜在影响，以实现更好的干预效果。
