Parental neglect has been shown to be associated with adolescents' peer alienation. However, few previous studies have considered parental phubbing as a new form of social neglect during parent-child interactions related to adolescents' peer alienation, and much less is known about the mechanisms underlying this relationship.
The present study explored the relationship between father phubbing (Fphubbing) and mother phubbing (Mphubbing) and adolescents' peer alienation. Moreover, it examined whether adolescents' perceived paternal and maternal rejection mediate these associations.
A sample of 1140 students (M = 12.18 years, SD = 0.90) completed the measures of parental phubbing, parental rejection, and peer alienation.
Structural equation modeling was used to assess the direct effects of Fphubbing and Mphubbing on adolescents' peer alienation and their indirect effects through adolescents' perceived paternal and maternal rejection as mediators.
The results indicated that Fphubbing and Mphubbing were positively related to adolescents' peer alienation. Perceived maternal rejection mediated the relationship between Mphubbing and adolescents' peer alienation. The relationship between Mphubbing and maternal rejection was stronger for adolescent girls.
Our study offers a preliminary understanding of how parental phubbing associates with adolescents' peer alienation through the mediating role of adolescents' perceived parental rejection, which has certain theoretical and practical implications for comprehending adolescents' peer alienation in the mobile age.
已有研究表明,父母忽视与青少年的同伴疏远有关。然而,很少有研究将父母的手机冷落行为视为与青少年同伴疏远相关的亲子互动中一种新的社会忽视形式,而对于这种关系的潜在机制则知之甚少。
本研究探讨了父亲手机冷落(Fphubbing)和母亲手机冷落(Mphubbing)与青少年同伴疏远之间的关系。此外,还考察了青少年感知到的父母拒绝是否在这些关联中起中介作用。
1140 名学生(M=12.18 岁,SD=0.90)完成了父母手机冷落、父母拒绝和同伴疏远的测量。
采用结构方程模型评估 Fphubbing 和 Mphubbing 对青少年同伴疏远的直接影响,以及青少年感知到的父母拒绝作为中介的间接影响。
结果表明,Fphubbing 和 Mphubbing 与青少年的同伴疏远呈正相关。感知到的母亲拒绝在 Mphubbing 与青少年同伴疏远之间起中介作用。Mphubbing 与母亲拒绝的关系在少女中更强。
我们的研究初步了解了父母手机冷落如何通过青少年感知到的父母拒绝的中介作用与青少年的同伴疏远相关,这对理解移动时代青少年的同伴疏远具有一定的理论和实践意义。
