In the face of family stress and emerging family problems, the transactional model of stress and coping provides new perspectives for solving stress problems in the family. This study integrates it with the common fate model to reveal new paths for coping with educational anxiety problems from the level of parent-child dichotomous interaction in the family environment, aiming to provide some theoretical and practical support for alleviating parents' education anxiety.
This study used a combination of interviews and questionnaires to stratify students and their parents from a public junior high school in Jinan City to participate in the study. Data were collected in two time periods (T1, T2; one year apart), and the demographic characteristics of parents and children, parent-child communication quality, education anxiety, and parent-child trust relationship of 495 families were finally analysed by SPSS 27.0.
The results found that (1) based on the Common Fate Model, quality of parent-child communication negatively predicted parents' education anxiety; (2) quality of parent-child communication positively predicted parent-child trust relationship; (3) parent-child trust relationship negatively predicted parents'education anxiety; (4) parent-child trust relationship mediated quality of parent-child communication and education anxiety.
This study sheds light on research related to stress coping and anxiety relief in the family environment, and provides theoretical and practical support for understanding the interaction between parents and children at the family level, and coping with stressful events together. It implies that future researchers should not only focus on one aspect when coping with and dealing with family problems, but should analyse the family as a whole, including the communication status and parent-child relationship between parents and children.
面对家庭压力和新出现的家庭问题，压力与应对的交互作用模型为解决家庭中的压力问题提供了新的视角。本研究将其与共同命运模型相结合，从家庭环境中亲子二分互动的层面揭示了应对教育焦虑问题的新途径，旨在为缓解家长的教育焦虑提供一些理论和实践支持。
本研究采用访谈和问卷调查相结合的方法，分层抽取济南市某公立初中的学生及其家长参与研究。在两个时间点（T1、T2；间隔一年）收集数据，最终对 495 个家庭的父母和孩子的人口统计学特征、亲子沟通质量、教育焦虑和亲子信任关系进行了 SPSS 27.0 分析。
结果发现：（1）基于共同命运模型，亲子沟通质量负向预测父母的教育焦虑；（2）亲子沟通质量正向预测亲子信任关系；（3）亲子信任关系负向预测父母的教育焦虑；（4）亲子信任关系在亲子沟通质量和教育焦虑之间起中介作用。
本研究为家庭环境中的压力应对和焦虑缓解研究提供了新的视角，并为理解家庭层面上父母与子女的相互作用以及共同应对压力事件提供了理论和实践支持。这意味着未来的研究人员在应对和处理家庭问题时，不应只关注一个方面，而应从整体上分析家庭，包括父母与子女之间的沟通状况和亲子关系。
