Families have been suffering from huge financial loss and psychological distress due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most existing studies investigated the protective factors for anxiety at the individual level, while understandings from the perspective of family dyadic level were left unknown. Considering that social support could serve as a protective factor to reduce anxiety both at individual level and at dyadic level, the present study adopted dyadic data analysis approach to tackle this puzzle. In total, 2512 Chinese parent-adolescent dyads completed a survey with scales of anxiety, social support, and perceived family resilience on July 31 and August 1 of 2021. Results showed that: (1) adolescents' perceived social support had significant actor and partner effects on their own and parents' anxiety, whereas parents' perceived social support only had a significant actor effect on their own anxiety and (2) the actor mediating effects of social support on anxiety via one's own perceived family resilience were found in both adolescents and parents, and a partner mediating effect of adolescents' social support was significantly associated with parents' anxiety through parents' perceived family resilience. Findings emphasize that interventions aiming at increasing adolescents' support resources could generate a significant effect on reducing anxiety.
由于新冠疫情，家庭遭受了巨大的经济损失和心理困扰。大多数现有研究在个体层面调查了焦虑的保护因素，而从家庭二元层面的理解尚不清楚。考虑到社会支持可以作为一种保护因素，在个体层面和二元层面都能减轻焦虑，本研究采用二元数据分析方法来解决这个难题。共有2512对中国亲子二元组在2021年7月31日和8月1日完成了一项包含焦虑、社会支持和感知家庭恢复力量表的调查。结果显示：（1）青少年感知到的社会支持对他们自己和父母的焦虑有显著的主效应和伴侣效应，而父母感知到的社会支持仅对他们自己的焦虑有显著的主效应；（2）在青少年和父母中都发现了社会支持通过自身感知家庭恢复力对焦虑的主效应中介作用，并且青少年社会支持的伴侣中介效应通过父母感知家庭恢复力与父母的焦虑显著相关。研究结果强调，旨在增加青少年支持资源的干预措施可能对减轻焦虑产生显著效果。
