We aim to explore the relationship between overparenting and social avoidance among emerging adults, and the mediating effects of peer attachment and gender differences.
A total of 1161 Chinese college students completed the questionnaire. The structural equation model was established to validate the main effect model and the mediation model.
The results found that both paternal and maternal overparenting positively predicted social avoidance among emerging adults. Both attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety played a significant mediating role in the relationship between paternal overparenting and social avoidance. Attachment anxiety played a significant mediating role in the relationship between maternal overparenting and social avoidance, while, the mediating effect of attachment avoidance was not significant. In addition, gender differences were found in the mediating effects of peer attachment. The mediating effect of attachment anxiety in males' families had an opposite-gender matching effect, while in females' families, the mediating effect of attachment avoidance had an opposite-gender matching effect.
This study contributes to the understanding of the effects of overparenting on emerging adults, enriching empirical research in related fields.
我们旨在探讨过度养育与青年成人社交回避之间的关系，以及同伴依恋的中介作用和性别差异。
共有1161名中国大学生完成了问卷调查。建立结构方程模型以验证主效应模型和中介模型。
结果发现，父母过度养育均正向预测青年成人的社交回避。依恋回避和依恋焦虑在父亲过度养育与社交回避的关系中均起显著中介作用。依恋焦虑在母亲过度养育与社交回避的关系中起显著中介作用，而依恋回避的中介作用不显著。此外，在同伴依恋的中介作用中发现了性别差异。依恋焦虑在男性家庭中的中介作用具有跨性别匹配效应，而在女性家庭中，依恋回避的中介作用具有跨性别匹配效应。
本研究有助于理解过度养育对青年成人的影响，丰富了相关领域的实证研究。
