Recent research indicates that parental phubbing is a risk factor for adolescents' depressive symptoms; however, limited research has examined the association between father phubbing and adolescents' depressive symptoms. The present study tested the association between father phubbing and adolescents' depressive symptoms. Furthermore, the mediating and moderating effects underlying this link were examined. A total of 1319 participants (39.5% were boys, mean age = 16.15 years) completed measures regarding father phubbing, father-child relationship satisfaction, depressive symptoms, and the need to belong. By using a two-wave longitudinal design, the results showed that father-child relationship satisfaction mediated the association between father phubbing and adolescents' depressive symptoms, and the need to belong exacerbated the association between father phubbing and father-child relationship satisfaction. Limitations and implications of this study were elaborated.
近期研究表明,父母低头族行为是青少年抑郁症状的一个风险因素;然而,针对父亲低头族行为与青少年抑郁症状之间关联的研究有限。本研究检验了父亲低头族行为与青少年抑郁症状之间的关联。此外,还考察了这一联系背后的中介和调节效应。共有1319名参与者(39.5%为男孩,平均年龄 = 16.15岁)完成了关于父亲低头族行为、父子关系满意度、抑郁症状和归属感需求的测量。通过采用两波纵向设计,结果表明父子关系满意度在父亲低头族行为与青少年抑郁症状之间起中介作用,归属感需求加剧了父亲低头族行为与父子关系满意度之间的关联。阐述了本研究的局限性和意义。
