Children and adolescents impacted by their left-behind status are more likely to suffer social anxiety. In this regard, as information and communication technology has developed, the role of online parent-child communication (OPCC) and online social capital (OSC) has become more important. However, few studies, if any, have examined the profiles of Chinese left-behind children and adolescents and their associations with OPCC and OSC.
First, to identify the profiles of social anxiety among Chinese left-behind children and adolescents by conducting latent profile analysis (LPA). Second, to determine associations between the profiles with OPCC, OSC, and three demographic factors (age, grade, and gender).
A sample of 1358 left-behind children and adolescents (mean age: 13.87; range: 8-19) was recruited in southwest China.
LPA was used to analyze the sample for heterogeneity. Multinomial logistical regression analysis was adopted to assess the effectiveness of OPCC and the role of OSC.
Three subgroups emerged: (1) Low social anxiety (25.7 %), (2) Moderate social anxiety (53.3 %), and (3) High social anxiety (21.0 %). Using multinomial logistical regression, results showed a higher possibility for left-behind children and adolescents with more OPCC and OSC to fall into the high social anxiety group.
Findings from the present study appear to contradict existing research, indicating that OPCC and OSC are negatively associated with the likelihood of falling into higher social anxiety, and it is necessary to address the importance of the quality of OPCC and the side effects of OSC in future research.
受留守儿童身份影响的儿童和青少年更容易遭受社交焦虑。在这方面，随着信息通信技术的发展，在线亲子沟通（OPCC）和在线社会资本（OSC）的作用变得更加重要。然而，很少有研究（如果有的话）考察过中国留守儿童和青少年的特征及其与OPCC和OSC的关联。
第一，通过进行潜在剖面分析（LPA）来识别中国留守儿童和青少年的社交焦虑特征。第二，确定这些特征与OPCC、OSC以及三个人口统计学因素（年龄、年级和性别）之间的关联。
在中国西南部招募了1358名留守儿童和青少年作为样本（平均年龄：13.87岁；范围：8 - 19岁）。
使用LPA分析样本的异质性。采用多项逻辑回归分析来评估OPCC的有效性和OSC的作用。
出现了三个亚组：（1）低社交焦虑（25.7%），（2）中度社交焦虑（53.3%），以及（3）高社交焦虑（21.0%）。通过多项逻辑回归分析，结果显示，有更多OPCC和OSC的留守儿童和青少年更有可能属于高社交焦虑组。
本研究的结果似乎与现有研究相矛盾，表明OPCC和OSC与陷入更高社交焦虑的可能性呈负相关，并且在未来研究中必须关注OPCC质量的重要性以及OSC的副作用。
